I was thinking about idioms along the lines of "dog tired" and how they might look nì Na'vi.
The idea I arrived at was "drooping tail", and the best translation I managed was "Kxetse sìn kllte.". I though this sounded like quite an appropriate idiom. This is one thing I don't remember seeing in the past, is this my first original idea?!
Any thoughts?

zup is intransitive though so <awn> can't be put in it. I'd say "kxetse a zolup" instead for the same effect.

Or you could use <us>.  Kxetse azusup.  Kefyak?

Although personally i think zusupa kxetse is more fun to say.

I thought about that actually but that seems to imply to me something more along the lines of "I am getting tired" as opposed to "I am tired". I'm not sure that that's correct, but it certainly seems that way to me.
