As I'm in proofreading session now, I hope I can make sure all the translations are suitable and correct.
After this session I can't make edits on the titles again easliy, so I want to be more serious this time..
Far ago I've started something similar, but at that time I was a newbie and no one knew about it.
Hope you can help checking. You don't have to do all, just one or two catches your eyes is enough.. :)
They are for soundtrack titles or scenes, but you may ignore this purpose...

To avoid "spamming" I just copied the words here, link of the original topic is in my sig.

I forgot there were still some longer texts.. so they were written in around August 2010. Have a look..

After they mate, there is a promise between Jake and Neytiri, and then they sleep together. Bonding and dreaming are musts to complete the mating. But no one knows what their dream is.

What is their dream, what is their thinking? Have your own idea during this rest!

Wait a second, please listen to me, I have something to say.

Ballad is a kind of music that represents a story. Up to now, the story is finished. It is about Jake's soul were sent to his avatar body, and then he became a true Na'vi. No one knows how will the story develop, but you can feel its part up to this moment first.

The music is from the movie Avatar, composed by James Horner, and arranged into this piano version by me. The music actually came up with pictures, you may know them if you have see the movie. You would think that my version not as good as Horner's, of course, I think that also. That is because I am still young, not good enough to arrange better thing. It was arranged by ear, I think it is good for practicing also.

It is my first formal music arrangement, sorry for errors I made. This project took me nearly a year to complete! Thanks for all of you spend time to listen to me, thank you!

QuoteTsyìl Iknimayat – Tawne a Fya'o   (Climbing Up "Iknimaya – The Path to Heaven")

I noticed a couple of titles say things other than a translation of the English, but as they pertain to the scene involved, I'm assuming this is intentional, kefyak?

That *tsyìl means it's still not a confirmed word proposed to mean climb...


Yes, actually the Na'vi one is not always the direct translation of the thing in the brackets. Even the English one may not be official since some of them have no title..
Sometimes I do this is because we don't have the word, or it's too repetitive like the Grace series.. , or to avoid transcriptions of character names pronunciation, or I want to create a more special sequence as in #37, 38..

Thanks for concern :)

FOR YOUR EDIT: I never thought of niä can means their climb, really using hands. Do you think it's possible? If so this will be a better option because *tsyìl isn't a word now. :o

I read it only very quickly, so I present only a few ideas:

Tseykä 'Awvea Tìtswayon -> Tseykä 'Awvea Sätswayon we now have approved word for flight

Po Fmìyi Ngati Tspivang  -> only Pol Ngati Fmìyi Tspivang requires agentive for po. If ngati is not directly next to po, it has no case ending

Talioangìri Taron -> Salioangä Taron

Letxepa Kllte  - > Nawnekxa Kllte (burnt ground)

Way Utralä   (Funeral Chant) -> Way Kxitxä ??

Maybe I'll come with more proposals when I get more time to check texts in detail, but can't promise

Karma for this.. you know, you're the first one giving this ... within nearly 2 years..
Even I face them everyday I can't spot them out :P

So..


QuoteTseykä 'Awvea Tìtswayon -> Tseykä 'Awvea Sätswayon we now have approved word for flight
Thanks..

QuotePo Fmìyi Ngati Tspivang  -> only Pol Ngati Fmìyi Tspivang requires agentive for po. If ngati is not directly next to po, it has no case ending
So I've marked "swapping Ngati and Fmìyi" but can't decide which one (sounds) better, any comments? ;)

QuoteTalioangìri Taron -> Salioangä Taron
Thanks for plural. For case marker, aren't salioang the object? Or you think this also works.. hey taron isn't a noun...

QuoteLetxepa Kllte  - > Nawnekxa Kllte (burnt ground)
Even the title has been set for 21 months, I have no way to disagree this.. thanks for suggesting the word.

QuoteWay Utralä   (Funeral Chant) -> Way Kxitxä ??
Because it's Tree Song, I think it's correct.

Note: Kxitx is catching, so I've tried to use it only once. #35 is translated as 'Eylanä Kxitx several months ago, but now it's replaced by a sentence.

Had I seen this sooner I would have said what Alyara Arati and Blue Elf said.

Carborundum

I suggest changing Nga hahaw slä unil ke si to Fko hahaw slä unil ke si. "You" is an indefinite pronoun here. Since *unil si is not legal (yet?), you might actually want to change it more drastically, to something like Fko hahaw unilluke.

ah thats a good one i overlooked. Easier than the way I say to dream. I usually say lu Xru unil for this. I didnt think of hahaw hu/luke unil.

I am not 100 percent sure why Blue Elf suggested the short plural in Salioangä tìtaron Although they are hunting multiple talioang in that scene, it is quite traditional to refer to animals in the singular. For an English example, pretend I was on safari, and saw multiple examples of each of these: 'Today, we took a game drive and saw wildebeest, giraffe, zebra and lion'. If you were hunting, say zebra, and you needed to take more than one, you would still call it a 'zebra hunt'. We have similar examples in Na'vi where, if there is a number, the object being enumerated is in the singular. I think that same rule would apply here as well. In all other respects, this seems spot on, so Talioangä tìtaron The ä there implying more 'of strumbeest' than any kind of plurality.

Sran, good catch, often forgetting that. Singular would work well here too.

Some more suggestions:

4.   Fewi Palulukan   (Thanator Chase)
"fewi" is verb, so I'd prefer "Tìfusewi palulukanä"

09.   1.   Tsray – Tseykä 'Awvea Tìmakto   (The Village – Jake's First Ride)
As "*tìmakto / *sämakto" is not approved, what about "Tseyk makto 'awve alo" ?

16.   1.   Po Fmìyi Ngati Tspivang   ("He will Try to Kill You")
I'd leave word order as is, but it is question of personal preference

21.   7.   Oeri Lì'uä Tutan   (A Man of My Word)
Personally I prefer "Oeyä lì'uä tutan". Topical seems strange here for me, as there is missing comment part

29.   1.   Txen Zene Frakrr Lìyevu   ("You Always have to Wake up")
For "wake up" is proposed "txen slu", so: "frakrr zene txen slivu". I wouldn't use any tense infix

39.   3.   Tireal Eywar Fpe'   (Jake Prays to Eywa)
"Tireapängkxo hu Eywa" is good catch, IMO

Irayo.
I've a bit thought a while before posting about using fko for any "you", so now confirmed by others. :)

There's several options I can't decide..
1. Fko Hahaw Slä Unil ke si...
2. Fko Hahaw Unilluke...
3. Fko Hahaw Unil-luke...
4. Fko Hahaw Uniluke...
5. Fkoru Unil ke lu...

Any idea...?

Ah, yes you're reminding the number principle..
I can't remember that maybe it's because of I'm thinking about Salioangit Taron..
This one or Talioangit Tìtaron better, or even just (Tì)taron?



Quote4.   Fewi Palulukan   (Thanator Chase)
"fewi" is verb, so I'd prefer "Tìfusewi palulukanä"
I think it's no problem to leave it a noun-verb (v-n for the order in Na'vi) sentence, as affixes make the title too long, or disagreeing..

Quote09.   1.   Tsray – Tseykä 'Awvea Tìmakto   (The Village – Jake's First Ride)
As "*tìmakto / *sämakto" is not approved, what about "Tseyk makto 'awve alo" ?
Since there's a structure similar, I think leaving it also looks better..

Quote16.   1.   Po Fmìyi Ngati Tspivang   ("He will Try to Kill You")
I'd leave word order as is, but it is question of personal preference
So, remains. Thanks :)

Quote21.   7.   Oeri Lì'uä Tutan   (A Man of My Word)
Personally I prefer "Oeyä lì'uä tutan". Topical seems strange here for me, as there is missing comment part
Is it an idiom actually? But besides, genitive fixed.

Quote29.   1.   Txen Zene Frakrr Lìyevu   ("You Always have to Wake up")
For "wake up" is proposed "txen slu", so: "frakrr zene txen slivu". I wouldn't use any tense infix
Thanks for this.

Edit: I reviewed that tense infix can't be used like that..

Quote39.   3.   Tireal Eywar Fpe'   (Jake Prays to Eywa)
"Tireapängkxo hu Eywa" is good catch, IMO
Unsure about the new one.. so I should change it back.




Thanks for everyone!! ;D
(it seems it's still not yet finished.. looking forward to see other corrections)

"Man of my word" is an idiom in English, but not in Na'vi as far as I know, and it sounds strange to me when translated like that.  Maybe it's only me.  I've been trying to think of a different way to say it...  I almost want to suggest something like Oeyä (ay?)Lì'u Pänu Lu ???

At first I am even that stupid, not considering what it means.. now I'm agree with you.

Since the line is actually "I'm a man of my word", there maybe other "translations" (it can be not a translation, you found this at the very beginning).. would even this - (Oe) pänutolìng possible? It can be even
   Pxìm pänutìng for using the first title starting with an ejective
   Pänutìng frakrr for referring the same structure of #22
   ...

//quick comment
"tìtxen si" comes from idiom "eltur tìtxen si" = be interesting. I Didn't found any canon example with "tìtxen si"

"Oe tasyätxaw ulte koren za'u oehu" (Limonádový Joe)


Tirea Aean

tsaw oeyä eltur tìtxen si is a real sentence, even maintaining correct grammar. Only thing is, it was designed not to be translated literally. such is the nature of an idiom. I have never seen an idiom which uses any word that doesnt exist in any other sentence. This sentence means "That thing does awakening to my brain" but such is the way to say "That is interesring" I think it should be possible to use tìtxen si "do awakening" in other places than in that idiom.

However I also see no problem with txen slu on the grounds tht it doesnt openly violate any extant grammatical rule, until a confirmation comes along.

tsaw oeyä eltur tìtxen si is a real sentence, even maintaining correct grammar. Only thing is, it was designed not to be translated literally. such is the nature of an idiom. I have never seen an idiom which uses any word that doesnt exist in any other sentence. This sentence means "That thing does awakening to my brain" but such is the way to say "That is interesring" I think it should be possible to use tìtxen si "do awakening" in other places than in that idiom.

This exactly where I found it.. I wonder why it is there so long by still there's not a tìtxen si..

So if txen slu have the same meaning (I thought it's a bit different), I don't take the risk.. and txen slu sounds OK too.

So I hope this file can be closed later, since there are still several translations I can't make decision for...

Any of your comments are much appreciated,
they're actually corrected in the sheets. :)

I'd suggest "Tsam Vìyar" for "The battle just continued" for 6.
