THE VALUE of the AVATAR DVD

[Txur’Itan]

The AVATAR DVD contains, some say imperfect examples of Na'vi, it does have people speaking it, in fact, there is more of it to be heard if you use Earphones.

Take a good listen at the following Scenes.

1) Neytiri rescuing Jake
2) The crowd speaking about what they see as Jake is brought to Eytukan
3) Anything that comes from Eytukan or Mo'at while speaking Na'vi.

I wouldn't say imperfect Na'vi per say, from the humans errors are to be expected and things thought of as "wrong" from the Na'vi aren't really as wrong as many may think, it's perfectly within reason for someone who've been using a language their whole life to be lax in being phonetically correct, like how some people pronounce "can" as "ken".

Some random oddness on my part though on the movie, I can understand the na'vi speaking just perfectly, but when norm and grace are using it for the first time it's a lot harder to make out.

Well Grace doesn't have great pronunciation.  (Tìng makyun anyone?)  But Norms is pretty good, if a bit iskepek.

I am able to forgive a bulk of the errors, but that one seems to be the worst...  She is supposed to be the human expert on the language.
