life's like a game. doesn't matter if the size is long (if it's long) but the way you play.

by the way, nobody has yet translated the meaning of my sentence...

Nearly exact: Life is like a game. Doesn't matter how long it is, but how it is played. Ngaytxoa, ma Puvomun....

Then ngim wouldn't work because it applies only to physical length.

Is that actually possible?

Hard to say anything with such limited vocabulary!
What about Tìrey lu na uvan. Ke tsranten fwa txo lu txankrr ki fya'o a uvan si.

Sireayä mokri · May 30, 2011, 09:33:29 AM

Maybe Ke tsranten fwa ftxey [tsaw] salew txana krr fuke, ki tsranten fya'o a uvan si?

Tswusayona Tsamsiyu · May 30, 2011, 09:47:30 AM

perhaps just lu txana krro?

Sireayä mokri · May 30, 2011, 10:01:42 AM

Maybe lu. I just think that salew is more idiomatic in that in Na'vi it is used this way when speaking of time.

Tswusayona Tsamsiyu · May 30, 2011, 12:17:36 PM

I am just not completely sure salew's meaning fits here.

and also, because of all the confusion my riddle caused (I caused) I will just put it here in its corrected form. sorry for being such a nagger.

Well, I'm afraid there are some mistakes. te'lanit can't take case ending as preposition is used. I'm in doubts with kxayl, maybe apxa would be better. I don't know how wäpolem fits here (even how <äp> can be used in wem), didn't you want to use wan? In such case translation could be:

Love must be higher than you find in the heart or which is hidden in the stars.

But more probably I'm missing something and I'm completely wrong...

Steve Winwood

My attempt:

There must be a higher love that is discovered in the hearts, or that fights (itself in)/(among?) the stars.

Tanri · May 31, 2011, 05:35:58 AM

Kemlì'uri alu w<äp><ol>em, lu oeru yayayr nìteng.

"Love that fought against itself in the stars?"
Sanhìmì is clearly "in the stars", not between or among stars.

"Zene livu tìyawn akxayl nì'ul" i read as "There must be a bigger love", but it doesn't make sense to me without some comparison (bigger than something else). The worst thing is that comparative to cannot be used together with nì'ul.

Srane, this made and still makes me wonder... $:-\$

I did not want to cheat. But now it is time.

Ma Blue Elf, it was merely luck that I saw "Steve Winwood" as I quoted my reply. I know he is a singer and that there is a song 'Higher love', and when I saw his name, it started to make some sense. But I did not go and find the original immediately, as I want to learn Na'vi, not that song.
