Welcome on the most friendly forum in the world.
At first I advise you come to this stuff and read this language studying tips. If you want pick language easier, it's only one way - try to speak. And don't be afraid of errors and ask all that you don't understand. Everyone here will be glad to help you.

Eywa ngahu. :D

Does "oel" mean I am?

No. "I am" in Na'vi would be oe lu, but don't translate the words literally. For example, "I am waiting" in Na'vi won't be *oe lu perey. Correctly it would be oe perey.

And oel is just "I" in agentive case, we use it for subject of transitive verbs: oel ngati kameie - I See you. Here the verb kame has an object ngati, so it's transitive. Then we use oel for subject, not just oe.

Taron -> Teraron -> Tamaron -> Tolaron
Srew -> Srerew -> Sramew -> Srolew
'em -> 'erem -> 'amem -> 'olem

Srängew -> Srerängew -> Sramängew -> Srolängew
'eiem -> 'ereiem -> 'ameiem -> 'oleiem

Practicing verbs  :)

This cool learning stuff doesnt belong in /introductions, but rather in /beginners. ;)

 :o, sorry misunderstood.

it's the three most bacis tenses in a verb:
the infix <er> is the "am/are/is verbing" tence
<am> is the "verbed" tence
<ol> is the "have verbed" tence:

Taron -> T<er>aron -> T<am>aron -> T<ol>aron
To hunt    hunting          hunted     Have/has hunted

Ayoeng pivlltxe nìNa'vi, ko! lets do as Tirea Aean says, and keep this a talking/testing topic  :D
But I have a suggestion: Since this is a beginners forum, why not write the Na'vi stuff in bold, and then translate it to English with the italicized? And if the poster has a question (related to the Na'vi statement), write that in normal text. Might seem a little bit.. er... unnescecary(?), but I think it'll work.

Sure, I agree with this. This is a welcome/starting smalltalk topic, until the OP moves on to other topics. The local mod WILL lock this topic after some time if it does not die out.

Actually, technically, according to the /beginners etiquette(please read before posting), when posting about Na'vi in /beginners it is supposed to be done like this:


Oe-l nga-ti kam<ei>e

"I See you" (a greeting)


or optionally, something like this:


Oe-l   ŋa-ti      kam‹ei›e

I-AGT you-PAT See‹LAUD› (AGT = agentive, PAT = patientive)
"I See you" (a greeting)

Nongyu te Syulang Swokioang'itan

Srane, oe has nari si that AGT/PAT stuff before but oe ke tsleram. Fyape does it work?
