Quote from: Question #1Who are you?
Kaltxì! :)
My name is Philipp, I'm 23 years old and I live in Aachen, Germany. I'm a student (Master Technomathematik/Scientific Computing) and have a part-time job. I have a younger brother (who starts studying today). Oh, and I love music!

Quote from: Question #2Why are you here?
When I first saw Avatar, I was very interested in the language. I knew that Klingon had developed into a "full language" (though I don't know anything about it), therefore I thought maybe there are already learning resources around. It's a beautiful language and I just wanted to learn it. No sooner said than done. I opened my favorite search engine and asked the web about learning Na'vi. That's how I've found this cool site ;)

Actually I didn't learn the language until now (mostly because my constant lack of sparse time...) but this forum is one of the nicest places in the Internet I've found so far. And that's why I'm still here.

Quote from: Question #3Where do your alias and profile pic come from?
"bommel" is an alias I use quite often. It's the name of one of my cats. Regarding my profile pic: I like music, especially Trance and I like cats. Welcome Trance Cat! ;)

Quote from: Question #4Srak nga tsun nìna'vi pivlltxe?
As I said before, I don't speak Na'vi (yet). I know a few sentences/words but that's not very much. And I don't know if I will ever do. Doesn't look like my lack-of-time-situation will improve during the next two years because of my master studies.

Quote from: Question #5What's you favorite Na'vi word? Did you incorporate it (or others) into your everyday vocab?
I guess it's atxkxe. It sounds a bit like the German word "Attacke!" (attack!).

Quote from: Question #6In your opinion, what are the top three user-created content on the LN website?
The forum of course. It's a great community and I'm happy to be a part of it!
The language docs are quite helpful, too (Na'vi in a Nutshell, dictionaries, etc.)
And I have to agree with Eana Tanhì, the smiley are cool! :)

Quote from: Question #7Have you made any contributions to the LN community that you're particularly proud of?
I helped translating parts of the Avatar script into German. And I'm part of the official LearnNavi.org Folding@Home team (see my signature for details). We're ranked 582 of 205007 at the moment! And the party thread, of course.

Quote from: Question #8What is it that you liked/hated the most about Avatar ?
I really like the movie (don't know how many times I've seen it...). When I first watched it I had to watch it again the same day! It makes me think about us, how we destroy our planet and ourself. I'm still very moved by the movie when watching it.

Quote from: Question #9Has Avatar  changed your life in any way?
Avatar has made me "politically aware". I started to think about what is going wrong on this planet.

Quote from: Question #10If you could ask Frommer or Cameron three movie or language related questions what would they be?
1. Both: Would you have thought that there would be such an interest in Na'vi (culture and language)?
2. Frommer: Was it difficult to create the language?
3. Cameron: What do you think about some people saying Avatar is just Pocahontas in space?

Quote from: Question #11What else do you do in you free time?
I try to make some music, play games, write some programs. And party hard ;D

Quote from: Question #12Name your top three favorite Earth animals from most favorite to least. Why those? What's the animal you're most terrified of?
1. Cats - At the moment we have three of them
2. Ocelots (basically larger cats ^^)
3. Ferrets - They look cute

Quote from: Question #13Pirate, ninja, zombie, or robot?
As a zombie, I could easily survive the zombie apocalypse ;)

Quote from: Question #14What three items would you take to a desert island and why?
Bear Grylls? Just kidding ;D

1. Good tools
2. My music equipment
3. Computer with Internet connection wouldn't be bad either

Quote from: Question #15If you could travel to anywhere in space and time (including fictional universes), where would you go and why?
Somehow I would find living in the Star Trek universe quite interesting. Maybe during the time of the TNG series.

Quote from: Question #16If you were granted one single wish what would it be?
Wishing more wishes? Honestly, I don't know. There are some things that would be cool to have but I'm not unhappy about my current situation. Maybe something large-scale like peace, freedom and wealth for everyone on earth?

Quote from: Question #17What is a question you'd ask yourself? How would you answer it?
Is it worth saving mankind? This is a question I haven't yet found an answer to...

Quote from: Question #18True or false?
1. I didn't care about Avatar at first, thought it was just a hype.
2. Nobody likes the records that I play.
3. I have a diver license (scuba diving).

Quote from: Question #19: My Life is AVTRWhat is the funniest, weirdest, or most embarrassing Na'vi or Avatar  related thing that has happened to you?
I was cooking with some friends when I was new to Na'vi and later in the evening (and after some beers) I tried to explain to them what I had learned so far. We had invited a Chinese student who didn't speak German very good therefore we had to speak English. Trying to explain some Na'vi language stuff in English when being a bit drunk was quite a funny experience ;)

Quote from: Question #20: Bonus QuestionWould you rather be Na'vi on Earth, or human on Pandora?
I guess Pandora. Here on earth there's so much going wrong :(

That's all.

You seem to have a loose definition of the word "survive", hrh!

Anyways, here are my guesses: true/false/true

Congrats ma tsmukan.  :D
Good luck to you and your brother in your studies.

Here are my T/F guesses .....
1. True,because I thought the same until I watched it.
2. False, Txantslusam Skxawng and plenty of others like the tracks you play.
3. False, everyone else said true, so I'll be controversial.
Pasha, an Avatar story, my most recent fanfic, Avatar related, now complete.
