Entu and Ralu were considered "on the cusp of adulthood" a 14 years of age; Jake's avatar was "fully mature" at an estimated age of 17 Earth years; Neytiri was considered an adult woman at roughly 18 Earth years.

Lo'ak, Jake and Neytiri's biological second-born, has eyebrows and five fingers, but their other two children, Neteyam and Tuktirey, appear mostly native. Connect with others learning the language, or who are fluent. Conversation with a language partner can help your speaking skills.For the men: te 'itan. Example: Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyo'itan Although lifespan data is incomplete, it is estimated Na'vi live 30% longer than the average human. [4] Once born, Na'vi children mature more rapidly than humans, reaching mental, physical, and cultural adulthood between the ages of 15 - 17 Terran years. [8] Afterward, Na'vi experience a "plateau" of adulthood without physical decline. After their death, a deceased Na'vi's remains are laid to rest by their clan's traditional method. http://web.archive.org/web/20200105144207/http://www.movies.com/movie-news/james-cameron-avatar-painting-1976/13238?wssac=164&wssaffid=news One of the most famous Na'vi legend tells of the adventures of Omatikaya clan members Entu and Ralu, along with Tsyal of the Tawkami clan. These three youngsters set out on a quest across Pandora and the various Na'vi clans to save the Tree of Souls from the threat of an erupting volcano. Entu, with the help of the artifacts borrowed from various clans, became the first Na'vi to ride the deadly winged toruk, gaining the title of Toruk Makto, uniting all of the clans, and saving his people. Generations later, the tale of Toruk Makto is still sung and influences the actions of a new generation of Na'vi. Since this event, only six other Na'vi have become Toruk Makto, including Jake Sully and Neytiri's great-great-grandfather. The opening of the non-canon Wii/PSP game mentions, "20,000 years of peace, balance and harmony has come to the end." However, the Na'vi are older than this, implying that Na'vi would fight large wars similar to humanity, but grew out of this 20,000 years prior to Avatar.

A female Na’vi will typically produce from one to ten offspring, often spaced widely apart in time. Female Na'vi have two breasts and nurse their infants for up to four months. Directly after birth, newborn Na'vi perform their first instance of tsaheylu with their mother to form a strong emotional bond and with her, then they are brought to the Tree of Souls to connect to the Pandoran collective consciousness for the first time. Na'vi are monogamous creatures who mate for life and the process of their reproduction is similar to Terran mammals; however, though they nurse their young and possess belly buttons where they were once connected to an umbilical cord, the Na'vi are non-placental, thus the details of their internal biology and gestation period are unknown. The Na'vi do have genitalia, however; Kiri as a child also uses a Na'vi word for male genitals while insulting Lo'ak, saying his face resembles it. [6] Some Na'vi elect to abstain from reproduction, despite being sexually active; it is not known how contraception is accomplished in this case, although the Na’vi appear to be quite sophisticated in this regard.I See you, Brother, and thank you. Your spirit goes with Eywa, your body stays behind to become part of the People." Tense and aspect need not be marked when they can be understood by context or elsewhere in the sentence. Immerse yourself in the sounds and culture of Na'vi. Listen to recordings, watch movies and join in with the community.

Yes-no questions are asked with the final question marker srak? Information questions are asked with question words based on the leniting morpheme “pe” (which?). These correspond with demonstratives in fì (this) and tsa (that) (accusative tsat). The non-canon Pandorapedia in Avatar: The Game claims that the Na'vi cell nucleus does not use nucleic acids to encode genetic information. Therefore, their genetic makeup is not considered DNA (thus they most likely do not utilize RNA in synthesizing proteins) as opposed to what Jake Sully says in the film. A problem that many beginners have is that they want to make their Na'vi name before they learn the grammar of the language. To make sure that your name is grammatically correct, here are a few basic pointers. When using adjectives in Na'vi, you must put an a on the side of the adjective that the noun it modifies is on, for example: Tsawla Uniltìranyu OR Uniltìranyu Atsawl ( tall dreamwalker). A detailed account of Na'vi grammar is available in the Na'vi in a Nutshell.

Mo’ara [mo.ˈʔa.ɾa] prop.n. a valley on Pandora (Note: Also the name of the Disney Pandora location) These regions respond only to language, and not to anything else,” said Malik-Moraleda. “Itdoesn’t do math, it doesn’t do music, it doesn’t do any other tasks.” There are people around the world who don’t speak English, but have learned Na’vi,” said Wright, “I have a common language with them and can communicate with them even though I may not speak their native tongue.” As sentences become more complex, some words, like adjectives and negatives, will have to stay in a more or less fixed position in the sentence, depending on what the adjective or negative is describing. Naʼvi syllables may be as simple as a single vowel, or as complex as skxawng "moron" or fngap above (both CC VC).
