To all my friends and friends of the Na'vi language:

I See you, my friends, and I thank you. I have heard the message you have sent me so passionately. I feel your love for the Na'vi language. And I know you are all waiting for my guidance.

Please believe me, my friends. I want very much to guide you. But as you know, I must work together with those who have brought us "Avatar" and the world of Pandora. I have sent them a message, but up to now no answer has arrived. Like you, I too am waiting.

When I receive an answer, I will let you know, and I will then decide the best way to bring you the words and rules of Na'vi.

I hope I will soon have good news to give you.

In the words of our young friend Markus from Galway . . . Let Na'vi bloom!

Goodbye for now, and may Eywa be with you.

Your friend and teacher, Paul.

À tous mes amis et amis de la langue Na'vi:

Je vous vois mes amis, et je vous remercie. J'ai entendu le message passionné que vous m'aviez envoyé. Je ressens votre amour pour la langue Na'vi et je sais que vous attendez tous mon enseignement.

S'il vous plaît, croyez moi mes amis. Je désire énormément vous guider. Mais comme vous le savez, je dois travailler avec ceux qui nous ont apporté "Avatar" et le monde de Pandora. Je leur ai envoyé un message, mais jusqu'à maintenant, je n'ai reçu aucune réponse. Comme vous, j'attends.

Lorsque j'en recevrai une, je vous informerai et déciderai du meilleur moyen de vous apporter les mots et règles du Na'vi.

J'espère que j'aurai bientôt de bonnes nouvelles à vous annoncer.

Comme l'a dit notre jeune ami Markus de Galway: "Let Na'vi bloom!" (Que le Na'vi fleurisse!)

Je vous dis au revoir, et que Eywa soit avec vous.

Votre ami et professeur, Paul

An all meine Freunde und an die Freunde der Na'vi-Sprache:

Ich sehe euch, meine Freunde und ich danke euch. Ich habe die Nachricht, welche ihr mir so leidenschaftlich geschrieben habt, gelesen. Ich spüre eure Liebe zu der Na'vi-Sprache. Und ich weiß, ihr wartet auf meine Anleitung.

Bitte glaubt mir, meine Freunde. Ich will euch unbedingt leiten. Aber, wie ihr wisst, muss ich mit denen, die Avatar und Pandora gemacht haben, zusammenarbeiten. Ich habe ihnen bereits eine Nachricht geschickt, aber bis heute ist noch keine Antwort gekommen. Ebenso wie ihr warte auch ich darauf.

Ich lasse es euch wissen, wenn ich eine Antwort bekomme und dann entscheide ich, welcher Weg der beste ist, um euch die Wörter und Regeln von Na'vi zu geben.

Ich hoffe, ich habe bald gute Nachrichten für euch.

Mit den Worten unseres jungen Freundes Markus von Galway... Let Na'vi bloom! (Lasst Na'vi erblühen!)

Auf wiedersehen fürs erste und möge Eywa mit euch sein.

Euer Freund und Lehrer, Paul

Do moich wszystkich przyjaciół oraz do uczących się języka Na'Vi:

Widzę Was, moi przyjaciele, i dziękuje Wam. Przeczytałem wiadomość, ktora wysłaliscie mi z tak wielką pasją. Widzę waszą miłość do języka Na'Vi. I wiem, że wszyscy czekacie na informacje z mojej strony.

Uwierzcie mi, moi przyjaciele. Bardzo chce przekazać Wam wskazówki dotyczące języka. Ale jak wiecie, muszę pracować z tymi ktorzy stworzyli dla nas "Avatar" i świat Pandory. Wysłałem już im wiadomość, ale niestety wciąż nie dostałem odpowiedzi. Tak jak Wy, wciąż czekam.

Kiedy dostane już z ich strony jakiś odzew, dam Wam znać, i wtedy też wybiorę najlepszy sposób do przekazania Wam słownictwa i zasad panujących w języku Na'Vi.

Mam nadzieję, że wkrótce będę miał dla Was dobre wieści.

Jak powiedział nasz młody kolega Markus z Galway: Pozwólcie Na'Vi rozwijać się!

Na razie się z Wami żegnam, i niech Eywa będzie z Tobą.

Wasz przyjaciel i nauczyciel, Paul.

Для всех моих друзей изучающих язык На'ви:

Я вижу вас мои друзья и благодарю. Я получил ваше сообщение, которое вы мне отослали с такой страстью. Я чувствую вашу любовь к этому языку. И я знаю, что вы ждете моего руководства.


Пожалуйста верьте мне мои друзья. Я очень хочу вас сопровождать. Но как вы знаете, я должен работать вместе с теми, кто принес наш "Аватар" и мир Пандоры. Я послал им сообщение, но до сих пор я не получил никакого ответа. Так же как вы, я очень жду.

Когда я получу ответ, я дам вам знать, и после, и затем я найду лучший способ передать вам знания На'ви.

Я надеюсь, скоро принести хорошие новости для вас всех.

По словам нашего юного друга Маркуса из Голуэйя. . . Пусть Na'vi цветет!

До свидания, и пусть Ейва будет с вами!

Ваш друг и учитель, Paul.

Aan al mijn vrienden en vrienden van de Na'vi taal:

Ik Zie jullie, mijn vrienden, en ik dank jullie. Ik heb het bericht gehoord dat jullie mij zo passievol hebben gestuurd. Ik voel jullie liefde voor de Na'vi taal. En ik weet dat jullie allemaal wachten op mijn leiding.

Alsjeblieft, geloof me, mijn vrienden. Ik wil erg graag jullie leiden. Maar zoals jullie weten moet ik samenwerken met diegenen die ons "Avatar" en de wereld van Pandora hebben gebracht. Ik heb hen een bericht gestuurd, maar tot nu toe is daar geen antwoord op gekomen. Net zoals jullie ben ik ook aan het wachten.

Wanneer ik een antwoord krijg, zal ik het jullie laten weten en dan zal ik beslissen wat de beste manier is om jullie de woorden en regels van Na'vi te geven.

Ik hoop dat ik jullie spoedig goed nieuws kan brengen.

Naar de woorden van onze jonge vriend Markus van Galway . . . Laat Na'vi bloeien!

Tot ziens voor nu en moge Eywa met jullie zijn.

Jullie vriend en leraar, Paul.

SQUEEEEEEEE

(dang it Seabass! I'm at work! I have work to do, no time for dissecting Na'vi....gah!)

[Txon-tute]

Nice job there guys!
Let's hope to hear from him as soon as possible!

[Tsepxor]

This is awesome news!

But we still need moar, sign the petition people!

[Txurtxe'lan]

Great response!

[Toruk Makto]

WooHoo!!

Outstanding!!!

Eywa'evengä?  Pandora is Eywa'evengä in Na'vi??!!

[Zalorticus]

This is great! I'm glad to see he is also enthusiastic about it.

[Taronyu]

Fì'u sìltsan lu.

[Tsmukan Ikranä]

This is great news, hes on our boat!

Anyone else notice he pronounced his name with with the W intead of a U. I wonder why that is . . . does it go against the pronunciation scheme of Na'vi ?

[wisnij]

Double squee!  One for the response, and one for new attested text/vocab/grammar!  At last, we know the word for "friend": 'eylan.

It looks like sì "and" can be suffixed to words too:

Ta 'eylan karyusì ayngeyä, Pawl
[From] your friend and teacher, Paul

Kind of reminds me of the -que suffix in Latin: "Senatus Populusque Romanus" = "Senate and People of Rome"

Eywa'evengä?  Pandora is Eywa'evengä in Na'vi??!!

Looks like Eywa'eveng; the -ä is the genitive attaching it to kifkey "world".  Alternately it might just be a set phrase kifkey Eywa'evengä "Eywa-child world".

[Erimeyz]

Brought a tear to my eye.

  - Eri

[Ftiafpi]

and love (noun), that's probably the biggest thing in that whole thing.

[Karyu Amawey]

Everyone, this is amazing! We have been heard! I truly and full heartedly believe that Dr. Frommer has to be the most patient, hard working and dedicated teacher out there! Irayo ma Pawl!

[Mithridates]

Great, more Na'vi to parse. I let Wikipedia know about the new source as they've done a great job going over the content that we've had until now.

If we had a few dozen more of these we should be able to figure out the language all by ourselves.

So awesome   

Go listen to Dr. Frommer speak, it's just beautiful.

Looks like we're going to have fun dissecting this letter!  Talk about first person resource!  If he jut keeps sending us letters, maybe we could eventually get everything we need?

[mO_Tan]

this is awesome!! i must haz the audio!! O_O

I'd listen to it all night while im lying in bed!

[Txonyä'ite]

This absolutely wonderful news and hearing him speak the language the language is amazing!

Of course! Perhaps the entire phrase is used when referring to Pandora.

Well I think that's what our clever friend may be going for, if they don't give him the freedom. They may be able to silence his documentation, but they silence his tongue.
