Kaltxì ma frapo,

I'm trying to put a greeting card to Pawl together (http://forum.learnnavi.org/projects/send-your-own-greeting-to-k-pawl!!/).
As I'm still not good with phrases and sentences, I need a check for the small greeting I put together.

I would be very glad, if someone can have a look...

Kaltxì ma Karyu Pawl

Moe lu menumeyu ta ker'mani sì tìm ayatxkxe (neter'lant).
(we are 2 students from germany and netherlands.)

Moe slamu meeylan taweyka ngayä lì'fya nìNa'vi yawne lu moer sì uniltirantokx.
(we  became 2 friends because your language Na'vi is beloved to us and Avatar.)

Moel ngati kameie ulte Eywa ngahu

In the latest Naviteri post Frommer says:
Quote from: FrommerBy the way, notice that to say you come from somewhere, you use ftu, not ta. Ftu pairs with ne: they indicate directions from and to a place respectively.

Germany is usually called toìtslan. I don't know about the Netherlands, but tìma ayatxkxe seems reasonable. And when you create new words, don't use consonant clusters like r'm or r'l. Not only are they illegal, you're also likely to choke to death trying to pronounce them.

The "and Avatar" part isn't even correct in English ;) It should be something like ngeyä lì'fya leNa'vi sì uniltìrantokx yawne lu moer.

Irayo ma 'eylan.

I'm still too easily confused with sentences. I try to get better  :-[

So it would be 'Moe lu menumeyu a ftu toìtslan sì tìma ayatxkxe.' like he did with Va'ru in his Blog?

Yeah, that looks good to me.
I actually didn't notice that he wrote a ftu until now, I though it was just ftu. Thanks for pointing it out :D
