Na'vi version of Jake's speech？

[Mithcoriel]

Yea, I figured that out after I cursed out my computer in Na'vi, English, French and Russian, drawing the attention of my parents. Who then asked what I was doing, so I had to come up with some kind of BS excuse, while frantically closing windows with tons of Na'vi language learning websites that they don't know exist.

Why are you keeping it secret you're learning Na'vi?

[Kätsyín te Zotxekay Tsyal’itan]

^Because in their perfect world, I am slave-ishly devoted to my schoolwork, about three projects at this point.

i know this is kinda necroposting.... but i've been trying to workout what's tsu'tey has been saying during the speech... this is my version... that i painstaking dug out... some bits are missing and some might just be outright wrong or missing grammar articles that i have no clue about.... either way just have a squiz.


The sky people have sent us a message
Ayoe sawtute 'upare

That they can take whatever they want
Oengli tsa new (oengli is wrong...)

And no one can stop them
Tsun ke munge

But we will send them a message
Slä al'upxare fpe'ayfo

You ride out as fast as the wind can carry you
Kämakto nìwin ayngati si hufwe * pxel (*something missing here)

You tell the other clans to come
Ayolo aylahe peng si za'u (althought it sounds like VA'u)

Tell them toruk makto calls to them
po peng syaw toruk makto

Now you fly now with me   
Tswayon set oehu

My brothers
Ma sumukan
My sisters
Ma sumuke
And we will show the sky people
Sawtute wínaytxeiu
That they cannot take whatever they want
Nekx su po ke ...... (this is where i gave up )

And that THIS
Fi'tsenge !!!

THIS IS OUR LAND!
ayoeng'eyä

thanks for your help .....

[Mithcoriel]

I, for one, am always glad when someone bumps this thread with new ideas, cause I wanna know how the speech goes.

Some corrections:

That they can take whatever they want
Oengli tsa new (oengli is wrong...)

It's probably "tsat", not tsa, since "tsat" would mean "that (object)"

Okay, this is interesting, so Tsu'tey was actually finishing the previous line while Jake continued, and didn't even say the "no one can stop them". Is there even a Na'vi word for "stop"?

You tell the other clans to come
Ayolo aylahe peng si za'u (althought it sounds like VA'u)

No, I'm quite sure it's ziva'u, you know, with the "iv" turning "za'u=come" into the conjunctive.

(Brothers and sisters are spelled smukan/smuke, you got one u too many)

EDIT: Forget the above, not relevant anymore ^^ I found two new sources:

While the above is a pretty cool collection, it's not always correct.

But some cool guys over in the German board have found a translation that seems pretty satisfactory to me:

Thank you for spreading oeyä sì Ikran-Sezeyä version of the speech, ma Mithcoriel

But I think that "tswayon" isn't future "any more", its present-tense.

[yangyang]

this wiki page is cool！

[Rim tsamsiyu]

sigh.. wish someone posted that up earlier.... wasted a couple of days doing that... lol and i KNEW it was mostly wrong too!!!
PERSEVERENCE I SAY!!!

[Kätsyín te Zotxekay Tsyal’itan]

Its certainliy a powerful speech, but I think this topic has been discussed to death. Let it die people.

[Mithcoriel]

Yes, now we can let it die, now that we finally have the solution. ^^ But before that, I really think every post was justified, all the going back and forth analyzing what word makes sense etc. till we finally got it, cause a lot of people wanna know how this speech goes.
