'Itan Atxur

Keye'ung (or whatever the proper spelling is for insanity) has become my word of the moment again.

Hmm, thinks.

Ke ye'ung, notYe'ung
So Ye'ung = sane?

Just noticed this is my 200thpost, I'm now a child, possibly in my Munvi evengyä

Looks totally possible, but I'd still wait until we get an actual word for sane before using ye'ung

Defo.

I can see this being one of 'Don Archaic's' black market vocab words.

We so need somewhere to post words that might be OK, to get them verified, do we have such a place?

Not that I am aware of... however I have noticed that in the often updated dictionaries there are sections for 'Illegal words'. Words that come from maybe not totally unreliable sources... or something along those lines... take a look at Taronyu's dictionary in the Intermediate section.

Na'viyä is the winner for me at the moment... still along with all the 'Neytiri words'

I assosiate keye'ung with Mo'at even though she never says it.

Yeh I know what you mean, I'm sure she says something to Keye'ung though. I'm pretty sure is starts with a K and ends with an -ung or and -eng

She says insanity in English, so I think that's why.

Yeh... maybe I imagined that then...

Lol. For all I know you could be right! She speaks a lot of Na'vi!

:O I'll just have to watch it again... but my cinema isn't showing it anymore!! *cry*

Bad times indeed, hoping for a re-release though! With deleted scenes!

and to stay on topic... a favourite Na'vi phrase:

Maweyä tsmukan

Or some variation, some have debated what the phrase actually is, but I prefer this one.

I'm not really a big fan of the 'rr' trills to be honest, I love the way the Na'vi pronounce singular 'r's though, very slightly trilled... makes me love Neytiri even more!

I have a new favorite phrase that I came up with helping another member translate a heavy metal song:  zera'u atanta

I'll let you guys figure out what it means ;)

Not quite.  za'u + imperfective infix ‹er› = z‹er›a'u.

"Light" is atan.  There's an adposition in there.  ;)
