it is defined pretty well in my opinion. but the definition in the dictionary is awful.
pum means in English one like in the sentence "I think this mountain is more beautiful than that one". it refers to a kind of thing that was already mentioned in the text. in the sentence above, it's obvious that we are talking about mountains so I don't have to say "mountain" twice. Sireayä Mokri, by his pum, refered to your song since it's obvious we're talking about songs.

Yes, the dictionary description messed it up for me. possession, thing possessed. That seriously threw me, as yes, it was about a song, not about something I own/possess.

Now I know he meant "it's a good one you have". That is plenty clear.

In Dutch we even make this less elaborate. We can say "that's a good!"; we leave out the 'one' that is used in English.

Thank you for the extra clarification. I should ask Tirea to change the English pum-description, and I will look at the Dutch one.

Cuuute!

Oh, this is good. I'll think about the Dutch one first, and then discuss it there.

Guys, as much as I desperately love everyone who posts in Pamrel nìNa'vi nì'aw and hate to question them in any way, do you think the dictionary updates and the new words are really closely related to the original song?

LOL!

Easily fixed. And yes, this went off on quite a tangent.
