NotW #37: AP Nova

[AP Nova]

Pamrel le'Ìnglìsì:

Spoiler

Who are you?

I'm living in the western part of Germany. I'm able to speak German, English and also a bit French, even if I've already forgotten many things. I know some things about other languages, too, but that isn't much.
I'm a student and 17 years old for a couple of days. I'm living in a small village with my mother and her husband. My name is Noël, it is a French name, but I'm not French, my mother only liked the name.

Why are you here?

I'm here because I really like the movie Avatar. Once, a long time ago, I and a friend said that we'll learn Na'vi by the time it is possible. A bit later I found out that it is already possible, but sadly my friend didn't continue learning, nevertheless I didn't stop.

Where do your alias and profile pic come from?

My name is an old one, I'm using it for some years. I think it was in year 2006 when I used it for the first time. The two parts come from a game which is called X2 - The Threat, there are two spaceships, the one is called Argon Nova, the other one is called AP Gunner, which is an important ship regarding the story. And because I'm bad in making up names I just connected those two parts and received the name AP Nova. My picture is one of the pictures the forum offers.

Srak nga tsun nìna'vi pivlltxe?

Yes, I'm able to speak Na'vi, most of the time easily. I'm able to do this for half a year, I started learning at the end of March. I already mentioned the reason which caused me to learn. There aren't many people who now that I learn the language and sadly there isn't anyone in my real life who also wants to learn the language.

What's you favorite Na'vi word? Did you incorporate it (or others) into your everyday vocab?

I can't really tell about a prefered word, because I don't know one. I only know that there are several words which are interesting, for example "soft" words like "seyri" or "nari" and "hard" words like "tskxe". To me the sound of the words is really interesting sometimes.
I use Na'vi words sometimes in my normal life, but not when anybody is able to hear me. I also often think nìNa'vi.

In your opinion, what are the top three user-created content on the LN website?

The first thing is the Na'vi nì'aw subforum, without that I nearly wouldn't have any chance of using the language.
The second things are the helpful things, it doesn't matter whether it's a dictionary or something explaining the grammar.
I don't really know the thing which could be on the third place, because there are many other really good things and I can't choose any of those.

Have you made any contributions to the LN community that you're particularly proud of?

I haven't done anything really great like pictures or craft of bows and knives which look like in the movie or helpful guides, but nevertheless there is a thing which I'm proud of, which is that I'm able to help other people concerning the language. This place is mainly focussed on the language, so in my opinion that's something important.
I also worked with Plumps and Talis on Christmas songs (maybe some of you already noticed it), but the biggest part was made by them, I think.

What is it that you liked/hated the most about Avatar ?

I really like that you can't see that the movie was nearly completely created by computers. It's also nice that there are nearly no logical mistakes and I like the soundtrack, that's why I bought the CD.
The thing I hate most could be that I saw the movie only three times (two in cinema).

Has Avatar  changed your life in any way?

I can't really say that it changed something, but now I definately got a new favorite movie and it also caused me to think about some things.

If you could ask Frommer or Cameron three movie or language related questions what would they be?

Right now I really don't know three questions I would ask. I would choose them when I get them.

What else do you do in you free time?

Then I listen to music, play computer games or visit pages on the internet, for example about computers. I'm also interested in sciences.

Name your top three favorite Earth animals from most favorite to least. Why those? What's the animal you're most terrified of?

I think that the first one would be a cat, that's the only animal I can think of as pet and I like that they've got some kind of own head, so you don't have to care about them all of the time, like it is regarding dogs. The second place is taken by wolves, because I liked them when I was a child. I don't really know a third place again, there are some interesting animals, but none that is that interesting.
I hate insects, because they are annoying when they're flying around you and I don't like it when they're in my house.

Pirate, ninja, zombie, or robot?

Probably Ninja, because I like that nobody can see and hear them and that they know some kind of secret things.

What three items would you take to a desert island and why?

The first thing is my computer, so that I can communicate with the world and do other things.
The second is tasty food, so that I don't have to eat something bad. (Probably then I would be dead after a few days because I ate something poisoning
The third one is a covered thing with a bit "?" on it

If you could travel to anywhere in space and time (including fictional universes), where would you go and why?

I'd probably travel to the future. A future in which everything is ok, because then many things would be better than how they are now. For example there would be less diseases, some things could be easier and better.

If you were granted one single wish what would it be?

It wouldn't really be one thing, it would be that many things in the world which right now aren't how they should be are ok then. There are many really bad things and often the victims aren't the person who should have received it. But sadly this is never going to happen.

What is a question you'd ask yourself? How would you answer it?

I sometimes ask myself if the things I do are good or bad, the answers are different.
I'm asking myself that so I can find things that I could do better than I did before.

True or false?

-My left hand is the hand I use
-My home changed more than three times until now
-I like winter

What is the funniest, weirdest, or most embarrassing Na'vi or Avatar  related thing that has happened to you?

Once a classmate saw a sheet with Na'vi on it. He asked me what that is, it told him that it's Na'vi. Then he looked as if he'd seen a ghost and went away slowly

Is Na'vi your second language? Explain.

Maybe one can say that. Na'vi is really important to me and I think that I'm able to speak Na'vi like I'm able to speak English, maybe even better. Well, not if you're looking at the absolute number of words and rules I know, but when you look at how much I know about the language regarding how much there really is. That language also shows that I'm different from other people, because there aren't many other people learning Na'vi.
So I'm able to speak or at least write Na'vi without having to thing too much, nearly fluently and the language is some kind of part of me. So: Yes, my second language is Na'vi.


The new question for the next NotW is a well-known question in this place, but sadly I've forgotten a better one before I wrote it down:
Would you like to travel to Pandora or not? What would you do there?

I maybe didn't tell a detail asked in one question, then you can of course ask me.

Congratulations!

I also love cats.  I have one who follows me around my house.  Her name is Shadow.  She looks like a small Palulukan (she's dark grey - hence her name).  I call her my Palulukansyìp.  HRH She's a typical Russian Blue (attitude and all)!

My guesses ...
1.  True
2.  False
3.  False

I want to thank you very much for those insights in your learning history. They are encouraging me to take one of my New Year's resolutions that way ...

My guesses are:

• Right - Why not?
• Right - That may happen easily ...
• Right - Winter has marvellous moments

I am not even going to pretend that I understand your entire initial post, but I congratulate you on being Na'vi akinä srr.

As to your ngay / tsleng statements, I am going to do this without the dictionary! My first challenge in the zìsìt amip!

-Tsyok aftär lu txina tsyok oeyä

-Sunu oeru wewa zìsìkrr

1st has to do something with left and your tsyok. As you seem to know what that is, I give it a ngay.
2nd has to do with your house but it is probably exaggerated. Tsleng.
3rd says something about your (favourite?) season. Ngay.

Omtjw...
And yes, I'm just being quite silly at the moment too.

Hayalovay!

My left hand is the hand I use

That's true, normally I use my left hand, I even can't really write with my right hand. When I try to do that the writing seems really strange (To be honest I have to say that the writing of my left hand isn't that nice either)

My home changed more than three times until now

That's true, too. This is my sixth home. The first time I moved into another village which was some kilometres away, then I moved three times in the same area and in 2009 I moved to the place where I'm living now. I think there were at least two years between two movings all the time.

I like winter

It is a difficult thing, but I think that it is wrong. I like that it is dark most of the time, but I really don't like winter when there's too much snow or you can fall easily because of the ice

Sadly no one made a right guess
