I'd use "fa" instead "hu" (it is for accompaniment). As we don't have word for "forward/onward", I'd use "place before/in front of me":
Pesengne oe kerä? Ne tseng a eo oe, txo syayvi oeru

I can't remember he said something like this, in what part of movie it was spoken?

Couldn't be Krrayä for saying time in future tense?  ??? And Jake in the movie in English says forward when he learns to ride the Pa'lì and fails haha

No. <ay> infix is future tense, but can be put only into verbs. Krr is noun... If you need "future" word, it is zusawkrr (time which is coming)

I'll check this scene tonight. I'm not sure he said it in Na'vi

No, he didn't. Jake says "Forward" in English.
