Spoiler

Tell us about yourself! Where are you coming from, what languages do you speak, what do you do, how old are you, tell us a few words about your family, work etc. This is the job interview part.

Hello! I am Txonä Rolyu! In Earth life I am Jason. I See you all from Washougal, WA. I am studying music in school and I want to become a professional singer some day. I am 21 years old and I work at an event services company where I am a security officer and a guest services agent. I live with my family. It's a small family, only my mom, dad, grandma, and my dog Bart.

Why are you here?

Spoiler

What brought you here to the Learn Na'vi forum in the first place? Did you fall in love with the language? With Pandora? With a character? Did someone invite you? Or did you stumble upon this site? Once here, why did you decide to stay? How much time do you spend here every day?

I came to LearnNa'vi after I saw Avatar (of course, lol). Sadly I can't remember how I found LN. I think it was Tirea Aean who told me about it. I fell in love with everything about Avatar. The Na'vi language, Pandora, and....I'm not going to lie, Neytiri as well. She's so beautiful. I could lose myself in her big, yellow eyes I decided to say because I had come to love the Na'vi language very much and I passionately wanted to learn it. I am here the majority of the day everyday. My computer is always signed in

Where do your alias and profile pic come from?

Spoiler

Do they have a special significance? Is you alias a translation of your real name, or just a bunch of random letters thrown together? Is that you on your profile pic?

Well, my long name means Singer and Dream Catcher of the Night, but I don't often use it. I only use my short name Txonä Rolyu which means Singer of the Night. My name is about me because I love singing and the night time. Tirea Aean helped me choose it I like names that tell something about a person. That way they have more meaning in my opinion. About my picture, no it's not me, it's Neytiri right before she kills Quaritch. I like to say "You killed my father, prepare to die!" at that part LOL.

Srak nga tsun nìna'vi pivlltxe?

Spoiler

How well? Why did you start to learn it? What is your ultimate goal with the language? Do you have specific methods/tools you use in learning the language? How did your friends, family, or colleagues react to your interest in learning Na'vi? Have you told them at all? Have you converted any of them?

No, I can't speak Na'vi at all. Hopefully I will learn someday. It is a very beautiful language.

LOL!!! Just kidding. I do speak Na'vi. I can speak well. I began learning because like I said before, I love the language very much. I learned it with Project NgayNume! I can't believe it's been almost a year since the Project began! My aim is to become a master of the language.

But (very) sadly, not one of my friends want to learn anything about this beautiful language. Not even my mate. They all think I'm crazy and it makes me very sad. My parents think the same way. They truly don't understand my love for Avatar and the Na'vi Language and it's not something I can explain to them.

Well....actually that's not entirely true. There are a few people in my college choir who think it's cool that I can speak the language, but most of my friends think it's just weird.  

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

*Fperìl...* fpìl oel futa lì'u san 'upxare sìk sunu oeru frato. Tsalì'u lu 'o' fwa plltxe, pam sunu oeru. Oel fìlì'ut seiar txana alo.

*thinking...* I think the word " 'upxare" is my favorite word. It's fun for me to say, I like the sound of it. I use this word many times

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

Spoiler

Anything from the main site, the wiki, or the forum including language docs, threads, quotes, literary works, images, etc.

1) Tìkangkemvi a NgayNume
2) Fuk aylì'uä a ta Taronyu.
3) Na'vi a mì "Nutshell"

1) Project NgayNume
2) Taronyu's dictionaries
3) Na'vi in a Nutshell

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

Spoiler

What made you make those? Do you plan on contributing (again) in the future? How?

Except that I am a Teacher Assistant for Project NgayNume, no sadly. I really want to do things for this great community, but I don't know what I can do. Time is also a difficulty for me because of school. Perhaps I will be able to become a member of the LEP soon.

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

Spoiler

How many times have you seen it? How big of an Avatard are you? Prove it!

I liked: Neytiri!!! The part when Jake and Neytiri mate under the Tree of Voices. That part is so beautiful I also liked the way that the Na'vi live. They are very intelligent and good to their world. They never take more than they need. They don't need computers or phones or cars to live. They can live just off of their world. I wish that skypeople would live more like the Na'vi. The earth would be a better place.

I didn't like: Selfridge and Quaritch. I hated them. The part when "Grace, Eytukan, Trudy, and Tsu'tey die, and when Hometree falls. Those parts always make me cry. They are very sad

I have only seen Avatar 13 times (I think) sadly. If the fact that I am learning Na'vi and can speak it this well doesn't show you that I love Avatar very much, I don't know what will lol.

Has Avatar  changed your life in any way?

Spoiler

Are you trying to become a Na'vi? How and to what extent? Do you live on a tree? Do you wear your hair in a long braid? Or are you just simply blue? Do you bond with animals? Is Gaia on your contact list? Did you have your photo 'shopped?

Because of Avatar, I have met many amazing new people and have learned a beautiful new language. I love all my new friends very much. I wish we all lived closer. Avatar also made me think about all the bad things the skypeople are doing to Earth. I do what I can to help. I recycle and I don't use my car of I don't need to. I want Earth to be a clean place for my children in the future.

Lol, no, I'm not trying to become a Na'vi...well, except that I'm learn the language. I don't live in a tree and I'm not blue lol. Gaia is not on my contact list. However, it would be nice to have my hair in a long braid. I like long hair

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

Spoiler

You can make requests specific words/expressions too.

1) Kämìron: Uniltìrantokxìri peul ngaru tìng säfpìlit?
2) Fromer: Fyape sngä'i ngivop lì'fyati leNa'vi?
3) Kämìron: Srake ayoe nayume nì'ul teri krr, srr, ayrenu yafkeykä sì ayzìsìkrr Eywa'evengä mì Uniltìrantokx amune sì pxey?

1) Cameron: What gave you the idea for Avatar?
2) Frommer: How did you start to create the Na'vi language?
3) Cameron: Are we going to learn more about Pandoran time, days, weather patterns, seasons (etc.) in Avatar 2 and 3?

What else do you do in you free time?

Hm, ke nìtxan...sunu oeru fwa rol sì sop...lu tute aftue. Kop na aylì'u a plltxe oe srekrr, krr lu oeru tìngäzìk tafral numtseng.

Hm, not much...I like to sing and travel...I'm a pretty simple person. Also as I said before, time is a difficulty for me because of school.

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

1) Aynantangtsyìp taluna fo lu eylan atxantsan. Frakrr 'efu nitram furia ngati tse'a. Frakrr new livu ngahu.

2) (zenänge pivlltxe nì'Ìnglìsì) Rats because they are so cute, soft, and fuzzy and I could just hold them forever!

Ioang a oeti txopu seyki frato lu kali'weya. Lu sìltsan krr a fol wrrpati tok slä ke sunu oeru krr a fo oeru sim.

1) Dogs because they are fantastic friends. They are always happy to see you. They always want to be with you.

2) (Had to speak English here)

3) Cats because sometimes they are good, but their mood can change like the weather. First they're sweet, then they get angry and bite. This has happened to me many times.

The animal that scares me the most is the spider. It's fine when they're outside, but I don't like it when they're near me.

Pirate, ninja, zombie, or robot?

Spoiler

Something else? Maybe a combo? Exactly what subtype? Why? (For those of you not so versed in trash tropes, this question basically amounts to asking "What superpowers would you like to have?")

(Zenänge pivlltxe nì'Ìngìsì nìmun) I'm going to go with ninja because I think that from this list they are most like the Na'vi. They have the stealthyness, dexterity, and deftness of the Na'vi. 3 characteristics I wish I had more of.

(I had to speak English again)

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

Spoiler

Anything from books, movies, games, instruments, music, sporting equipment, etc. You'd be provided with means to fully utilize the chosen items – electricity, MP3 player, etc. –, but you couldn't use them for anything else. Escape is not possible.

Tìpawm aftue! Oel mirvunge tsko swizawit fte oeyä aywutsoti stivä'nì, ayut fte txepit ngivop, "hammock"-it fte tsivun hivahaw, oeyä DVD alu Uniltìrantokx,  oeyä eltuti lefngap fte tsivun Uniltìrantokxit nivìn nìlkeftang sì ayngahu pivängkxo, sì oeyä "microphone"-it fte tsivun rivol.

Easy question! I'd bring a bow and arrow to catch my meals, things to make a fire, a hammock so I can sleep, my Avatar DVD, my computer so I can watch Avatar continuously and talk with you all, and my microphone so I can sing

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

Nìngay nga zene pivawm srak? Hrh. Oe kirvä ne Eywa'eveng fte slivu na Na'vi!

Do you really have to ask? Lol. I'd go to Pandora to become a Na'vi!

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

Sìrangal nì'ul! Hrh.

More wishes! Lol

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

Hm, ke omum. Tse....'awa tìpawm a päpawm pxìm lu san Pelun oe tsakem sìmi sìk? Fralo tì'eyng lu keteng.

Hmm, I don't know. Well...one question I ask myself often is "Why did I do that?" The answer is different every time.

True or false?

Spoiler

Write three statements about yourself, the more extravagant the better. At least one of them must be true. At the end of the week, you'll have to tell which ones were truthful and which made up.

1) Ke tsole'a oel Uniltìrantokxit vaykrr °33vea trr "April"-ä mì zìsìt alu °3732

2) Oel kar aysänumvit a mokri.
   
3) Lu oeru muntxe zìsìto amune sì vospxìo atsìng

1) I didn't see Avatar until April 27th 2010

2) I teach voice lessons

3) I have had a mate for 2 years and 4 months

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

Spoiler

Something along the lines of a MLIA short.

'Awlie oe marmakto "bus" ne oeyä kelku ta tìkangkem ulte tutèo oeru sngä'i tìpusawm san srake oe tsun ngahu ziva'u? sìk. Omum oel 'ut a fìtutè new.

Once, I was riding the bus home from work and some lady started asking me if she could "come home with me." I knew what this lady wanted. I acted like I don't speak English (I spoke Na'vi of course) but she kept asking continuously so I told her (in Na'vi) "I don't mate with strange women from the streets" I never thought I'd say something like that LOL. That is the weirdest expression I've ever said!

My guesses are gonna be (very original): True / False / True. (:

It's sad that your surroundings mostly don't like Na'vi and that you can't learn with them.. At least you have LN! I really admire your Na'vi knowledge, and I would also say that you contribute to the forums not only by being a teacher, but also with your Na'vi corrections, your readiness to help and your participation to discussions concerning Na'vi.

I see what you want to say, tho there are a few errors. Fear not! Txonä Rolyu to the rescue! I understand the phase as "It would have taken me years if I had to answer those questions in Na'vi"

I think a better word to use instead of "nekx" is "krrnekx". We can use the adverb nìhawng with it. Also, the infix you want is <ilv>, the past perfective subjunctive. "Oeyä" isn't needed here, instead, the topical "oeri" would be better (and at the beginning of the sentence.) "Tsaysìpawm" should be in the dative to mark it as the object of " 'iveyng."

Soo, the finished sentence would look like: "Oeri, krrnilvekx nìhawng txo oe zamene 'iveyng tsaysìpawmur nìNavi.

Tho now that I think about it, I suppose you could still use "nekx" and say "Oeri nilvekx ayzìsìtit....."

Big congrats to ya Txonä! You definitely deserve the title for all your fantastic contributions to Project Ngay Nume and Avatar Nation! Good on ya.

Very interesting on everything, and I hope to finally meet you in person at the July 9th meetup!

I am also glad to see you like cats.

As far as you N/T questions, here goes!

1. T - You stated in your comments that Tirea Aean helped you find this site. So, I am guessing that you didn't do it the first day you saw Avatar, but a few days (or more) afterwards.

2. N - I don't doubt this for a moment.

3. N - You mentioned you had a mate, but didn't say anything more. But because you gave a precise time period for things to develop, I am going to say this is true.
