Help saying words

[mehibud]

This might be a dumb question but how do i say words in na'vi?

[Yayo]

Hi!
This is quite a vague question, but you may find this very useful.

Zol'aeiu nìprrte'!

I'm looking at that easyist way to learn na'vi and i cant pronounce the words on the flash cards.

[Yayo]

The document that I linked before offers examples in English that pertain to the pronunciation of Na'vi words.

['Oma Tirea]

Keep in mind things in Na'vi are pronounced much as they are sounded:

Spoiler: A brief pronounciation guide

A: between the a in father and the a in cat.  It does NOT sound just like the a in father!
Ä: the a in cat.  Take care with this vowel at the end of words.
E: the e in bed.  Take care with this vowel at the end of words.
Ì: the i in hit.  Take care with this vowel at the end of words.
I: the ee in see.
O: the o in no.  Keep this one pure.  There is an example from the 'ÌTXTSTXRR in my sig.
U: the oo in moon.  Keep this one pure, too.  There is an example from the 'ÌTXTSTXRR in my sig.

AY: Just like the English letter I, or the word "eye"
EY: Much like in the word hey
AW: Much like in the word now
EW: No real English example for this one since it doesn't exist in English... basically it's an "eh" and an "oo" together.

PX, TX, KX: these are much like P, T, and K, except they explode from your mouth without a long puff of air.
LL: somewhat as in "bull".  Easier said (and done) if you rhyme "bull" with "hull".
RR: this is a tricky one for people to get by... can't easily explain it here...
NG: just as in English "king" or "singing".  Make sure the g doesn't go hard when ng is at the beginning of words such as "nga".
TS: zz in pizza.
': the break in "uh-oh".
R: tapped like a Spanish r.  Can't easily explain this one either...

Everything else is spoken as it is in English.

That is right ... and very important.
