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.

So, usually people call me Max. I live in Moscow, which is in Russia. Therefore my first language is Russian, which I am not a "master" of, but at least I try I also speak English and Na'vi, which currently I like speaking the most I became especially interested in languages when I started learning Na'vi. So now I also study Spanish (and still am not good at it) because I really like its pronunciation, and really want to try learning Arabic, Swahili and Mäori I like their grammar and the way they sound. However I think that in order to become a good speaker, one needs to practice a lot, and sadly it's not so easy for me to find people who speak Swahili or Maori. So it seems to be my biggest obstacle.

My family isn't big: only mother, grandmother and me. I don't have any siblings.

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?

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

I'm here to learn the language of course I became really interested in it after I saw Avatar for the second time. I found out that there's a constructed laguage for this movie and wanted to find more about it because I already heard about several other movie conlangs (like Klingon). So I wanted to check out the way people speak Na'vi. And really loved it! I began by studying grammar rules, which didn't seems too hard to me, and visiting this site and learnnavi forum everyday, so I could see what people are talking about. When I figured that I can understand and speak well, I created my profile and started posting. Now I visit this place as often as I can and it's always a lot of fun for me

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?

Nìsngä'i namew oel futa tstxol oeyä ngiva' lì'uti alu "tirea" talun fì'u sunu oer ulte kop, fpìl oe, fpìlfyari oeyä fìral tam.

Relìri namew oe rivun 'uoti a kivenong "utralä anawm ayrina' lu ayoeng" lu a lì'fyavit a sunu oeru. Ha leiu atokirina'.

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

Right from the beginning I wanted my name to have word "tirea" in it because I like it and I think it also fits my personality well. So my first idea was "plltxeyu sireayä", but I didn't quite like how it sounds, so I tried to find something of a similar meaning. And then I figured that "mokri" can be good enough for that purpose. And so Sireayä mokri was born

As for the image, I wanted to find something to represent the line I like from Tree Song that goes "we are all seeds of the great tree". So I got atokirina'.

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?

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

Yes, I can speak Na'vi, although mostly I write in it. However I do have spoken practice as well, big thanks to Alyara Arati

I would really love to see the language continue growing and thriving to become totally speakable, so that we could talk about any topic we want to discuss. We still got a lot of work to do to achieve it, but I think our language community has enough passion to complete this task. I also want to thank the Great Karyu Paul Frommer, who is our great guide of the world of Na'vi

Concerning learning the language, I got one main advice: practice is the most important thing here. And I know that many people would agree with me on that. There can be no mastery without it, not only in the world of languages.

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

Fpìl oel futa frato sunu oeru lì'u alu tsaheylu, talun pam lu txantsan ulte kop lu ralnga'. Ngian nìfratrr sar oel lahea lì'uti alu "faysawtute" Pxìm ultxarun oel foti.

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

I think my favorite word is tsaheylu because it sounds great and is meaningful. However usually I use word "faysawtute" the most I meet them often.

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.

For me, it's Our dictionary (big thanks go to Taronyu, Tirea Aean and Markì), NeotrekkerZ's "Na'vi in a nutshell" and "Pamrel nìNa'vi nì'aw" board, where I always find something that makes me go "wow!"

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?

Oe fmi srung sivi aylaru lu foru sìpawmo a krr. Mungwrr tsaw ulte 'a'awa hayku poemsì, ke'ut ke tolìng oel nìwawe.

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

I try helping others when they got questions. Apart from that and several poems and haiku, I didn't really contribute anything significant.

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!

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

What I love the most about the movie is the message it sends. I truly think that everyone who lives in out world should understand that this world is part of us, so we must take care of it, instead of selfishly exploit it.

However there's also a thing that I, while not hating, consider a bad move. I know that Cameron had many original ideas when he was creating the script for "Project 880", but these ideas were scrapped in order to make the movie more "mainstream" and appealing to a larger audience. In my opinion, it'd be great if we still could see some of them in the sequel.

Well, I think I can be called an "Avatar fan", but I'm trying not to be too crazy over it

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?

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

My life has been significantly changed by Avatar. It let me see (and See!) things from a different angle, a different perspective, in a way that people sadly start forgetting nowadays. I'm talking about not only the world around us, but also about how we treat fellow people. First, we all must become more tolerant towards each other, if we want out planet to become a better place for everyone.

And yes, Gaia is on my contact list

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.

Kämeronur: furia ngop ayrelit arusikx, hapxì a ngäzìk frato lu peu?

Pawlur: txo livu ngaru skxom, nivew nga ftivia (sì fmivi pivlltxe) lì'fyati a za'u ta kifkey alahe, srak?

Kämeronur: pìmtxan ngal yem snoti ne sute atxim ayvurä ngeyä?

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

To Cameron: what's the most difficult part of movie making for you?

To Paul: if you could, would you study (and try to speak) an alien language?

To Cameron: how much of your own personality do you put into your main characters?

What else do you do in you free time?

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

I listen to music; I always try to find music that would represent my current mood (now it's "Cult of Personality" ). Also I watch movies, though it's been tough lately to find a movie with a good balance between meaning and action Sometimes I write poems and haiku, mainly in Na'vi that can be found in "Pamrel nìNa'vi nì'aw". And I can't not to mention my other "hobby" — professional wrestling. I watch a lot of it on weekly basis and I like discussing recent events with other fans. I began watching wresting when I was six years old and can't stop ever since Many people can't understand what I find in this "fake sport", but I am a true fan and it brings me a lot of fun

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

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

It's a tough one I love them all, kind doesn't matter. But I think I like tigers most because they got so much strength and honor. I also like sea animals because they are interestingly weird And last... um... probably penguins. They are funny, I think

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?")

Pirate! I really like Jack Sparrow (who's Capitan ), maybe because I find something close to my character in him I would love to travel across oceans and seas and cherish every day as last Pirates also got a "bad" side, but I would be one without it Arrrrrr!

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.

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

For the first, I'd take a laptop with WiFi connection Then I'd take some source of fire. And also a bottle of water. Would be enough for the first couple of days

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

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

That probably would be "The Grid". I'm not really crazy over Tron, but I really like that world that is so beautiful and strange. It's interesting to see how users and programs would coexist together.

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

Rangal oe tsnì sute nìwotx tsivun Kivame.

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

I wish that everyone could See.

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

—Srake tsun oe hem sivi nì'ul fte leykivateiem kifkeyti a oepxaw?

—Fra'u tsunslu, nì'awve zene oe fmivi. Fratìsop anawm sngä'i hu sätìran a'awve.

Spoiler: nì'Ìnglìsì

—Can I do more to change the world around me for the good?

—Everything is possible, one should only try first. Every big journey starts with a first step.

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. Oe tsun pivlltxe nìwotx frapamrelvit leRuski (lu °41) nìwä mawlo minutä.

1. I can say the entire Russian alphabet (33 letters) backwards in under 30 seconds.

2. I am straight edge.

3. Once I was seriously injured by a sea creature.

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

Something along the lines of a MLIA short.

I was thinking a lot, but it seems, nothing like that has happened to me. Sorry for the short answer

As for a female, it should be Neytiri. I think, there's no need to explain here
