Kaltxì,

I need some help with a few sentences I built.
I'm not sure whether they're grammatically correct or whether they're kind of rubbish ;-)

These are the sentences:

Oe slu ayli'fya rolìy
Ilä pxay I'en me'em law si
Oel ngati kameie

What I want to say is, freely translated:

I want to sing in many languages for you
And play on every instrument to tell you
I love you - or in Na'vi rather "I see you"

I tried to make the sentences rhyme.

Please tell me if those sentences are ok or correct me if they're wrong.

Thanks a lot ;-)

I, just me personally, would translate this as:

New oe ngafpi rivol fralì'fyafa
Ulte pamtseo sivi fte ngaru fra'i'enfa
piveng san lu yawne oeru nìtxan nga

I like your intended meaning. ;D

Ataeghane

Ngaru new rivol fralì'fyafa oe, 11
Pamtseo si fa au sì i'en fte 11
Tsivun ngaru pivlltxe 7
San nga oeru lu yawne. 7


Or sth like that.

Oer wivìntxu ngal oey keyeyt krr a tse'a sat. Frakrr.

Tirea Aean

ah yes. Nice ma Ataeghane. I like that one ;D probably more than my own actually.

Ma tsmukan, fralì'fya means "every language", kefyak? If you want to say "many languages", I think you should use pxaya lì'fya :)
Nìrangal frapo tsirvun pivlltxe nìNa'vi :D

Ataeghane

Yours is also really good. :) I'm just trying to do my best.

Totally mllte, but it's not said that translation must be literal.

BTW, I've been thinking about sht like nìlì'fya apxay. Isn't that allowable, is it?

oh woopsì

I thought he really did say every. Now I go back and see many. sorry about that, Pxaya is correct over fra-

I second Ataeghane's latest with approval. though there are MANY other valid ways to say this. ;)
