Verb "to have"

[Vawmataw]

I wanna know how do you say the verb "to have" in Na'vi, please. Thank you for your answers.

[Tirea Aean]

Lu oeru ikran - I have ikran
Lu poru tsmukan - he has a brother
Lu ngaru tì'eyng - you have the answer.

Lu Xru Y - X has Y
Lu Xur Y -X has Y

Like that. There is no verb to have.

[Vawmataw]

WHAT ?!    

The verb "to have" is one of the most important verbs, and there is not any words meaning the verb to have ?! My god.

But it's not a reason to no thank your help.  

Better is know, less mistakes will be done

[Tirea Aean]

No, there is no VERB for have. Just like there is no verb to love. You don't say it the same way in Na'vi.

You just do not say "I HAVE an ikran". You say instead "Is to me an ikran"
You don't say "I love you". Instead you say "You are beloved to me".

Different language, different way of saying things.

[Vawmataw]

Lu oeru Na'vi karyu. hahaha

[Kamean]

Different language, different way of saying things.

And different way of thinking.

This. That's why I love Na'vi - you must think different way, and it is often useful also in real life.

I think we should create a topic with this question (about "to have") and stick it

It's for one verb, I prefer generally, because some other verbs and words do not exist in Na'vi.

Title: Why some words and verbs in English do not exist in Na'vi ?

And then the answer would be this:

Different language, different way of saying things.

And different way of thinking.

This is one of the most important lessons of learning a new language — don't get hung up on the words.  There will always be ways to convey the same meaning, but it may not happen the same way, with the same words, as you have seen here.

hahaha. I already know that. It was my proposition of title, not a question.

[Tirea Aean]

Translate the meaning, not the words!

Pure wisdom.

Here is the Srungtsyìp* slide (mini lesson) that K. Pawl created for "to have" for the Seattle class last weekend.

Tsm. Markì (aka Toruk Makto) will be uploading all of the slides at some point in the future.
