Congrats!

I'll guess True, True, False and False for the bonus.

[überdoodlet]

Hey, congrats, man. I say... True/True/False/ and Bonus:True.
Oh, and nice choice of wording with "uber strong".

['Oma Tirea]

Seykxel sì nitram ngaru, ma Kewnya.  I was wondering when this would happen....

Srak nga tsun nìna'vi pivlltxe?

Kxawm...

Ììììììì... fmi srane

Knowing how you consistently correct others and are now a forum mod (particularly of the beginners section), you simply can't go wrong with this guy (or wm.annis ).

...and how could you go wrong when you have written every answer nìNa'vi?

Guessing: N/T/T/N

[Ngima Nikre]

Congrats on making Na'vi of the Week! I'm honestly surprised you hadn't made it sooner .

I'm going N/N/Ts/N on the ngay/tsleng section.

Oh, and also, I have that same XKCD shirt. I used to wear it every time I had AP Chemistry lab in my senior year of high school, and on a few occasions the "stand back" warning was scarily accurate.

[Tsuksìm atsawl (KaPTan)]

grats... no guesses

[Dreamlight]

True, True, False.

[kewnya txamew'itan]

Oh, and also, I have that same XKCD shirt. I used to wear it every time I had AP Chemistry lab in my senior year of high school, and on a few occasions the "stand back" warning was scarily accurate.

Sometimes I hate having a school uniform (and then having to wear lab coats over it in Chemistry). On the plus side, we do get lab coats which is cool and I did get to wear my "resistance is futile (if <1 ohms)" shirt for two electronics lessons and a physics lesson on one non-uniform day.

[`Eylan Ayfalulukanä]

Apxa tewti ma kewmya! This honor is overdue!

Your dedication to this site and helping others learn the Na`vi language is really amazing! Your understanding of linguistics and your obvious love of language really shows. Combined with the math and science you are learning, I believe the world will be your onion!

I am also glad you like cats, and by inference, I think you mean cats of all sizes (as long as they aren't mad at you. Ask me about our lioness Sierra sometime!) This is a very good thing that will also serve you well.

I am going to guess T/N/T/N on your challenge questions. I know I have burned up some strange stuff with electricity!

I also wonder where one can get some of those great T-shirts you have?

[Plumps]

Truely long overdue!

Seykxel sì nitram!

And don't sell yourself short! As 'Oma Tirea already said: your work and help in the beginners' section cannot be praised enough! I also highly enjoy and am very grateful for your podcast recordings via audioboo! ulte zene pivlltxe nì'aw san ngeyä lì'upam le'Ìnglìsì yawne lu oer nìtxan!

[Maria TunVrrtep]

Not knowing you I'm going to say ...
t/f/t bonus - t

[kewnya txamew'itan]

I am also g;ad you like cats, and by inference, I think you men cats of all sizes (as long as they aren't mad at you. Ask me about our lioness Sierra sometime!) This is a very good thing tat will also serve you well.

[snip]

I also wonder where one can get some of those great T-shirts you have?

Irayo nìtxan ma tsmukan. I think big cats are very impressive for similar reasons to squid, but I generally prefer house-cats, I think they're cuter.

As for the shirts, the stand back one is from the xkcd (which I read religiously) store (I also have the xkcd hoodie and I'm sorely tempted by the shark and possibly correlation shirts. The final frontier one is from thinkgeek and I also have firefly and electronics shirts.

Truely long overdue!

Seykxel sì nitram!

And don't sell yourself short! As 'Oma Tirea already said: your work and help in the beginners' section cannot be praised enough! I also highly enjoy and am very grateful for your podcast recordings via audioboo! ulte zene pivlltxe nì'aw san ngeyä lì'upam le'Ìnglìsì yawne lu oer nìtxan!

Irayo, I should also clarify that I meant "only" as in singly or alone when I said nì'aw not "merely" (I tend to avoid using it as merely, as I've said many times, it seems to me far to neatly English for it to be correct to use it like that).

[`Eylan Ayfalulukanä]

Irayo ma kewnya for the T-shirts link. There are at least half a dozen shirts there I want. Badly. 

[Kì'eyawn]

Seykxel sì nitram ma kewnya!  You certainly deserve to be NoatW.  Much love for the XKCD!  And i will guess...  Ng/Ng/Ts/Ts.

[Plumps]

Whooot! Audio ... I knew you had something in store for us

[Eanikran]

You picked some hard ones there, ma oeyä 'eylan. 

I'll say TTF.

[Eana Tanhì]

congrats 
i say T/F/T

[Taronyu]

I don't think your modest "just" in "Just helping beginners" (your answer for contribution) is justified. You're an extremely helpful member of the forum, and you've often helped experts as well. (If I'm an expert. I like to think so. You've certainly helped me, anyway.)

Good NotW.

[kewnya txamew'itan]

Irayo ma taronyu, nga tsulfätu lu nìlaw. I'd forgotten that (it was mainly a while ago). I still feel that I ought to try to get involved in stuff more (such as trying to restart the hamlet project or posting more in na'vi nì'aw).

[Lisa]

Congrats!    I'm not sure what pick for the T/F, but I'll make a try...... T/T/F/F. 

And I'd like to give you a huge IRAYO!!! for all the help you've given me directly and indirectly though your posts to others.   I always learn something new.
