Is there a word for "loyal"? I've looked in the dictionaries and I haven't seen anything that directly translates to "loyal".

Unfortunately, there is no Na'vi word for "loyal" yet. :(

Yeah, we still have not many words. I tried to find some another with similar meaning, but not successfully :(

Okay, thanks anyway. Where can I find new words when they are created/added?

I forgot to ask:
What do you attempt to say or translate? Perhaps, there could be an alternative way of translating a sentence/text. :-\

I was thinking about translating "Just and Loyal". I don't know if there would be any alternative since it's so short and specific.

Yeah, it's really specific... I have not idea for some alternative Na'vi word here :(

Kea tìkin :) I have similar problems with missing words too.

 I'm surprised that "loyal" hasn't been created yet. It seems like it would be an important adjective for describing someone's personality.  :)

Yeah, I would say that we really should to have this word.

Sometimes is possible use some alternative words but often sadly not. For example when I wrote some poems in Na'vi, I missed word for "the Moon" so I call the Moon like as "Tsawke txonä" (the sun of night) xD But luckily now we already have nice Na'vi word for the Moon: Oare.

Cool! :)

Hopefully "loyal" will be made sooner rather than later. It's one of the words that best define who I am, but I understand that it's not easy creating a language.

Yeah, we have to wait. But what I can say, a word for "loyal" was submitted to Paul, if I remember me correctly.

Yeah, I think that it was subbmited.




I was also shocked that we had not word for "Polyphemus" - I was not able understand that Na'vi have not name for that huge object on their sky ;D But now we already have also word for this: Naranawm.
