What are the state of being verbs in Na'vi?

[Not_Totally_Alive]

I can't seem to find the state of being words (Is, am) in any of the resources. So if you know what they are, or the rules for that type of thing I would love some help.

The be verb is lu. It doesn't change form to match the person (I am, you are, s/he/it is, etc.), but does change for tense, layu will be, etc. Otherwise it is used similarly to be-verbs in languages you are familiar with for a lot of uses:

Oe lu taronyu. I am a hunter (oe = I, taronyu = hunter).

When talking about how you feel, it is more normal to say you "feel tired" rather than you "are tired." The verb for that is 'efu.

The most weird thing is that when there is a place involved, you have to use a verb that means "be at" or "inhabit" rather than just "be." That verb is tok:

Oel tok fìtsenget. I am here, literally, "I inhabit this place."

Become is slu.
