Well, good idea for those who want to learn!
First - some repairs to rules:
1/ Oel omum eyawra lì'fyavit.
you used agentive and patientive case correctly on nouns. But "eyawr" is adjective and these never take case endings. Instead, if it modifies noun (like here), you must add -a- suffix/prefix to the side where noun is (you can write also Oel omum lì'fyavit aeyawr)
3/ better is to say Txo tì'eyng ngeyä eyawr lu, ... If your answer is correct,.... here "eyawr" doesn't modify any noun, so -a- is not added.

And now correct phrases:
1/ Oel ngati kameie ("kame" is transitive, so object takes patientive case (-ti), not dative (-ru))
2/ Oeru sunu Eywa'eveng ("sunu" is intransitive, so object takes dative case, not patientive)
3/ Txo ngal run kxeyeyit, oeru peng rutxe (patientive case is -it, not just -i, and agentive is needed too)

To be even more correct, the last sentence should be: Txo ngal rivun kxeyeyit, oeru piveng, rutxe, but it requires more complex explanation.

Good answer to Blue Elf ! I gave one karma to you.

And yes, I did not make those mistakes accidentally. I have tested your knowledge. :)

Now, new game and new instructions.

New INSTRUCTIONS
1. Run lì'fyavit hu kxeyey.
2. For the correct phrases, say why we write this phrase in this manner.
3. I send one karma for the person who find the right answer, with the rights explanations included if necessary. If you only have the right answers, no karma.

Lahe lì'fyavi:

1. Oeru lu yuey syulang.
2. Oe yom nìltsanit.
3. Ngal lu yawnet oeru.
4. Oel new naerit, rutxe.

Have a good game !

P.A.'li makto

I'll give a try...

1. Oeru lu yuey syulang. Lu oeru lora syulang. ("Yuey" is for inner beauty, so "lor" is better, and also "-a" was missing from the adjective.)
2. Oe yom nìltsanit. Oe yom nìltsan. ("Nìltsan" is not a noun, so can't have an "-it" at the end.)
3. Ngal lu yawnet oeru. Nga lu yawne oeru. ("Lu" is intransitive, and "yawne" is an adjective so no "-l" and "-t" are needed.)
4. Oel new naerit, rutxe. Oe new naerit, rutxe. / Oe new niväk, rutxe. ("New" is a modal verb, that's why there's the "<iv> in the verb.)

Well?  :-\

3. Fi'u lu sven.

1. Nga tsun uvan sivi uvan
-no l behind nga, <iv> in uvan si as tsun is modal, an no -it behind uvan as uvan si is intransitive
2. Ayoeng pamrel si san Lu oeyä Ikran sìk hu san ru sìk talun Ikran lu oeru, ke ngaru.
-no ur in ayoeng, better use san..sìk instead of "", oeyä ikran, and also the statement is not true because of "ru" not being used. ;)
3. San sven sìk ke lu lì'u leNa'vi, oel fpìl futa nga new pivltxe san syen.
("sven" is not a Na'vi word, I think you want to say "syen".)
Krr a lì'fya lam sraw, may' frivìp utralit.

Ngopyu ayvurä.

Sorry Puvomun, you failed the number two.

The good answer was: Ayoeng pamrel si san Lu oeru Ikran sìk hu san ru sìk talun Ikran lu oeru, ke ngaru. Lu oeru Ikran means "Is to me an Ikran", or "I have an Ikran".

The others are good.

No karma for you, but you tried.


OTHER GAME

Same instructions.

1. Nga lu oeru.
2. Oe pamrel si san Eywal tse'a ngati sìk sìn fi'u kxemyo.
3. Oeru 'i'a tsa'u uvan.

I'm not sure, but...

1. Nga lu oeru. Nga lu pum oeyä. ("Pum" is needed to express "mine" too.)
2. Oe pamrel si san Eywal tse'a ngati sìk sìn fi'u kxemyo. Oe pamrel si san Eywal kame ngati sìk sìn fi'u kxemyo. (I don't think Eywa can "tse'a" but rather "kame".)
3. Oeru 'i'a tsa'u uvan. Oe 'i'a tsauvanur. ("-ru" is needless on "oe" but necessary on "uvan" since 'i'a is intransitive, and also "tsa-" means "that..." , so if you meant to say "this game" you should use "fì-" instead.)

As I said I'm not certain... What do you say?  :-[

The first phrase, you are right.
The second phrase had no errors, but your precision is right. You did not fail.
The third phrase is doubtful. But I accept because of your explanations.

I send one karma to you.



Another game soon...

Thanks for karma, Na'vi a Kepekmì  :) Seems that game gets popular, what is great.
I show some mistakes you and others made to help you be better:
QuoteRun lì'fyavit hu kxeyey.
Although grammatically correct, meaning is strange: Find expression while mistake is with you. "Hu" is used for accompaniment, so much better version is
Run lì'fyavit a nga' kxeyey -> Find expression which contains mistake.
QuoteLahea lì'fyavi:
don't forget - when adjective modifies noun, add -a- to adjective
QuoteOel new naerit, rutxe.
Original statement was correct. Although "new" is modal verb, it can be used as standard verb and in this case is transitive.
QuoteNga tsun uvan sivi uvan
Second "uvan" is indirect object of "uvan si", so dative should be used, but I prefer remove the second "uvan".
QuoteFi'u lu sven
I have no idea what word fits instead of "sven", but use fì'u - accent marks are important.
Quote
Oe pamrel si san Eywal kame ngati sìk sìn fi'u kxemyo
I write "Eywa See you" onto this wall. To say "this X", Na'vi use prefix fì- (so fìX). your version say ... onto this thing wall, what is not correct
QuoteNga lu oeru.
Nga lu pum oeyä.
First should be correct too, second not fully. Why: "pum" has nothing common with possession. It was initial mistake based on example from Paul. "Pum" is "repeater" - refers back to some word from previous sentence (to avoid necessity to repeat it again), like English "one":
Fìfkxen lu 'om, fìpum lu rìkean -> This "vegetable" is purple, this one is green.
So exact meaning of "pum" is always context dependent. And it is missing for the second sentence.

Rini lu muntxatu Va'ruä. Nga lu pum oeyä (now correct)
Oe lu skxawng skxakep. Slä oe nerume mi.

You can't say oe 'i'a tsauvanur. You just say tsauvan 'i'a. That's what it means to be intransitive. ;) perhaps then you mean oel tsauvanit 'eyki'a :)

This. If word can't be found in dictionary, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist - it can contain prefixes, suffixes, infixes.... and it can change the word by unbelievable way :)
Quote1. Oe kem sìmi video mì Na'vi.
To say "create something" we use ngop or txula ("kem si" means just "to do action" without any specification):
Oel ngolop ayrelit arusikx a sar lì'fyati leNa'vi -> very literaly: I created moving pictures which uses Na'vi language.
"Na'vi" itself is just noun, so if speaking about language, use lì'fya leNa'vi
Quote2. Polpxay pamrelvi mì snapamrelvi ?
To create question, use -pe- affix:
Polpxaype pamrelvil nga' snapamrelvit? -> How many letters contains alphabet?
Quote3. Neyritil œti kameie.
On first look seems to be correct, but "œ" is not part of Na'vi alphabet - use "oeti"
