Skiva'a

[Esperanto]

It has been bugging me since I saw the movie and cannot pinpoint anywhere what the hell it means. What does Jake mean when he's shouting "Skiva'a"?

Sk<iv>a'a

Destroy[SUBJ]

so something like 'in order to destroy' or 'to destroy!'.  He's essentially just repeating the same word from the previous sentence for extra emphasis, where it makes more sense being combined with 'fte' (so that).

Kaltxì,
so same kind of question just for a different word, all through the movie Tsu'tey keeps saying "Ibanko!" (i dont know how to spell it) i cant find out exactly what it means...

[omängum fra'uti]

I believe he's saying "Kivä ko"

[Na'viyä Tsamsiyu]

I believe he's saying "Kivä ko"

I agree. I was wondering the same for a while, especially from seeing the movie 8 times.

No, they definitely say "Skiva'a". They also say in English "Will destroy". "Skiva'a" basicaly means "Will destroy" because it is the word "Ska'a" (destroy) with the "iv" infix, which expresses uncertainties/possibilities.

It does not really mean "will destroy."  The use of ‹iv› here is required by the grammar.  Here's the full sentence:

  Sawtute zera'u fte fol Kelutralti skiva'a The skypeople are coming to destroy Hometree

This second clause, after fte ("(in order) to"), is a purpose clause, and a purpose clause introduced by fte must take the subjunctive.
