Contribution from the li'fyaolo' I want to tell you about a special friendship. Why is it special? It's special because it's a friendship between a man and a Prolemuris. That had never happened before. Listen now how this friendship came about …
Contribution from the li'fyaolo' Finally he came upon a Prolemuris youngling that had a deep wound on its back from its right shoulder to its two left arms. It seemed the wound came from a bite of a viperwolf. Blood was coming out of it.
Contribution from the li'fyaolo' One night, while a young man named Ìstaw had the watch at the border of his country, he suddenly heard a strange unexpected noise in the forest. He knew that there was no viperwolf pack nearby. But as a matter of fact he was familiar with every animal cry of the forest; therefore he knew that this cry had come from a Prolemuris. He decided to carefully step to the source of the sound.
So I want to say to all of you: Courage! This disease will not disrupt our lives forever. The current difficulties will vanish, ordinary life will appear again.
Needless to say, due to the coronavirus, the world has changed, life has changed. And many people fear for the future. Perhaps the most difficult thing of all right now is the social distancing. We have to stay at home. We can't go out to work. We can't hug each other.
In the meantime, brothers and sisters, please follow the new guidelines and rules. Stay home as often as possible. Wash your hands many (times a day). Keep back a bit from other people. And if you know older folks, whether in your family or as friends, contact them to find out if they're well.
I have no contact with him whatsoever.

O beautiful forest,
There are tears in the forest.

The forest is singing.

KEEP YOURSELF AND MO'ARA SAFE

It is dangerous to stay here.
Until next time, brothers and sisters.
Lukan, the little brother, and Palu, the little sister, are still babies, and I'm happy to say they're very beautiful and cute. But unfortunately they're also shy, almost like a touched helicoradian. They arrived at our house last night, and needless to say the new place and likewise the two new men are very strange to them. For most of the time today they were hiding. We hope they'll soon become brave enough to come out and play with us. Feeling calm and happy in a new environment takes time, so we have to be patient.
I wanted to tell you about two new members of John's and my family. They're two little cats named Palu and Lukan. They're brother and sister. I think you can understand what source those two names come from. It's clear, isn't it?
Neytiri is aiming her bow at a hexapede.
He raised his bow against the enemy.
There are bubbles on the surface of the river.
A: Where's my knife?
B: It's on the table.
I'm studying Na'vi, but I'm afraid I still can't speak it luently.
This chair is really uncomfortable. I can only sit on it a few seconds.
I spent last weekend with Ralu and had a good time (literally, that time was pleasant to me)
Ninat just made an exception so that Ralu can go with the hunting party.
I always feel very comfortable as a guest in your home, brother.
Children roll pebbles as a game.
Entu is an incredible hunter. I've never seen anyone like him before.
By scaling the highest wall, he proved to us that his climbing ability had improved.
What animal can live both in the sea and on the land?
Rini tried to escape but her foot got caught under a rock.
The ball rolled towards me on the ground.
Because of the drought, Californians have to use less water
I don't enjoy that kind of music.
Jake rolled under the fallen tree to escape from the thanator's teeth.
Unfortunately, the lack of good leadership in our clan is a problem.
Forgive me. I didn't notice that your tail was in front of me.
The Sky People say that their world is in the great space among the stars.
Last night I dreamed I was flying with Neytiri.
I throw a stone to/towards you.
(Ne does indeed imply the physical act of throwing towards someone, keeping with the idea that verbs of motion use ne as the place towards which the motion is directed.)
I throw a stone at you.
(And wä would have an aggressive connotation.)
Proverbial expression or phrase (like) a fan lizard in gel
(The sense is one of being in an environment where you're prevented from acting naturally or doing what you want to do.)

She has a beautiful voice, but she's extremely shy. She can't sing in front of people.
I wanted to show them the beauty of the forest, but sadly, they weren't able to understand. I felt completely stymied.
Ralu made medicine from flowers of the Mantis orchid.
If you run noisily in the forest, the animals will hear.
It's healthy among friends to discuss feelings.
Neytiri is under obligation by/from Mo'at to teach Jake the ways of the Na'vi.
The Omaticaya assumed that Jake would never return after his treachery
That obligation comes from Eywa.
These two beautiful gifts are now hanging on a wall in our home.
During the evening we received a wonderful gift from the participants—actually, two gifts: two beautiful pictures of John and me. You can see both of them here:
They're excellent, aren't they? The two portraits were created by our Master of Visual Arts, Alan. As you can see, the style is very interesting. Alan created my portrait out of little Na'vi words; John's he created out of trains. (John likes trains a lot.)
He studied Na'vi for a day.
One day Ralu came to meet with me.
As you know, during the Avatar Community Meet-up in Los Angeles last month, all the participants came to our house one evening to have dinner, study a little Na'vi, hang out together, and have fun. For John and me, that evening was a real treasure.
After rain, there's a lot of mud in this part of the forest.
Sand covers this expanse all the way to the ocean.
The sun became dark due to dust in the air.
Txewì removed the dust from inside his house.
They brought us the seeds in a large container.
He shoved the two of them and they fell down.

I gave you meat in exchange for vegetables.
She bought a little cap for $16.
Tsenu will receive three arrows in exchange for a pair of shoes.
I fly over the Tree of Souls.
Ralu walked under the large branch.
We must continue in this direction. We must not go astray.
The path ahead of them was full of rocks and irregular.
Stop at the next fork. Do not proceed further.
The People were standing in a circle, singing.
Proceed straight ahead. When you arrive at the pond, turn to the left.
Ìstaw drew a line on the ground to explain his plan to everyone.
I'm afraid there's nothing new in this post.
We are walking your way
We are coming
We are singing your way
So choose
Choose one among you
Who will feed the People.
The (5-day) week I spent with my friends in Berlin is a treasure that I'll never forget.
We found three little white eggs in the nest.
A mother feeds an infant with her milk.
If you had helped me, I wouldn't be going to Washington next week.
but you didn't, and I am
Hang the choker on the branch and come here
The bib necklace hangs from the woman's neck.
This kind of bird builds its nest in a tree cavity so as to protect its young from predators. For this purpose, a hole going right through the tree trunk isn't suitable.
Be careful! There's a lot of water on the ground. Don't slip!
We let him slide through the tunnel.
Blood is coming out of (literally: exiting from the inside of) the wound.
The stingbat flew out of the cave.
Where these two walls come together there's a gap through which insects can get in.
They tied a knot in the rope so it wouldn't slip through their hands.
Wherever you go, I'll go there too.
You speak really well now. As your teacher, I'm proud of your improvement.
Without practice there is no improvement.
Although the two of them have been mates a long time, they still have all the adorable tenderness of new sweethearts.
Even a warrior must be gentle with children.
I hunt yerik as well as you.
How good are they at cooking teylu?
Mo'at came down the (natural) stairway saying, “Get back, all of you!”
Put your bow on that ledge and come here!
He runs at an incredible level, faster than anyone else.
They're at a beginner's level, but they're getting better and better.
That yerik is standing on a high ledge.
When an ikran bonds with a person, it ceases to be wild.
No, but I have been to Washington.
Loak promised he'd teach me how to vanish into the bushes.
He said there's a special trick to it.
I want to find a quiet place nearby where I can chill out and rest to get my head back on straight.
Who designed that necklace of yours? I think it's very beautiful.
Have you ever been to New York?
No one can live without hope.
She refused to leave with them.
Ralu smells like a hexapede to me.
Ralu smells (looks? sounds?) like a hexapede.
While playing with my cat I felt something hard and rough on his skin.
That old woman's hearing is poor. A conversation with her is very difficult.
Do you think we can avoid a war with the Sky People solely by talking with them, my brothers? That won't work!
Contribution from the li'fyaolo' Night of Pandora. The forest is full of life. Many creatures and beasts walk, hunt, and fight to survive. Plants glow to give wonderful bioluminescence to the forest. Fan lizards turn, water flows under the blue bioluminescent light. A Na'vi boy walks aimlessly through the forest to feel peace and to see the night's beautiful life. He makes glowing foot tracks on the strong branches of a tall tree. A beautiful skin-blue color fills the sky, the large world stands strong with his siblings and the stars which seem so small. The boy approaches a lake and thinks about the beauty of the world. Eywa smiles upon this one, who is called Zuvo.
I want to work together with you–I don't want us to compete.
The Skypeople's culture on earth must truly be flawed.
The ran of each thing arises from the totality of its attributes.
After most of the Sky People left, order finally returned to the People.
Loak is still really just a boy but he can hunt the same as an adult.
I'm very disappointed you can't hang out with me the day after tomorrow.
Three things about the thanator must always be kept in mind:
• It can move silently through the forest.
• It's big and strong.
• It wants to eat you.
Peyral treats a cool cooked meal like garbage.
(Peyral won't eat a cooked meal that isn't still warm.)
He's treating me like a person who doesn't read him.
(He's treating me like I don't know him.)
He treated my idea as one—i.e., an idea—that creates a problem.
(He treated my idea as though it created a problem.)
When I'm in that beautiful hollow in the forest, I feel calm and happy.
Va'ru treats his ikran like a member of the family (and I don't approve).
From the air you can see the grace of the river's form but from the ground it's hidden.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to our Na'vi language class.
As you know, we created this class for beginners. Therefore, the lessons and expressions we're about to teach are simple. Nevertheless, I hope the class will be useful even for those who have already learned a lot about Na'vi.
For the majority of people, it's not possible to learn to speak a new language well simply by listening to rules. You have to use the language. Accordingly, we've prepared several small dialogs for you that you can use in daily life. And you won't hear any complicated rules today. We hope you'll find this class fun and interesting.
Although I found a few errors, this piece of work is generally excellent.
For Grace, the stories in that book relating to Earth are personally meaningful, but for me, although interesting, they're simply instructive.
The forest begins to glow at night with bioluminescence.
The Na'vi regularly eat dinner together around a communal fire.
At the beginning of the word 'eylan there's a glottal stop.
Please do this exercise in pairs, everyone.
Please phone me tomorrow.
Sadly, there are only dead trees where the fire has been.
Everybody inside! A big storm is approaching!
I hope you'll participate in the upcoming Na'vi class in Seattle!
Spotting a thanator, the hexapede panicked and escaped through the grass.
At the SETIcon II conference I learned a lot about the possibility of life on other worlds.
Success depends on whether or not one follows instructions.
According to Peyral, Ralu and Newey were secretly married the day before yesterday.
The oceans on Earth are vast.
I'm excited about going with you tomorrow
I got (won) the prized piece of jewelry in the game!
That place is so dangerous we never go there.
If one does not seal a boat against water, one must swim.
She used her tail to point out the tree Loak was hiding behind.
I bet they'll take the river rather than the forest.
The rocks in that pile are very heavy.
As Tsahik, I cannot weep over this matter; as a mother, I can.
Eight hunters met together in the forest.
We found a new island in the river.
The banshee took to the air from the edge of a cliff.
At mid-day it seems that the stars in the sky have all vanished but they just can't be seen then.
Thank you so much for your leadership, your support, and most importantly your friendship throughout the years.
I held the knife in my teeth.
Last night as I was walking through the forest, a frightening demon appeared in front of a big tree.
At the end of the war, the Sky People had to give up due to the power of Eywa.
Until Jake Sully arrived, the Toruk Makto that was Neytiri's ancestor was the most famous among the Omatikaya.
Without the respect of the clan, no leader can succeed.
I don't want to work with Ralu on this important project. He's not trustworthy, unfortunately.
Warriors typically share the arrows of their defeated enemies among themselves.
Where's the thing you borrowed from me?
Rini left with that guy without thinking twice about it.
My dear mother died yesterday. We buried her under a beautiful tree beside the river.
Those stars will soon set.
We can share our land with the Skypeople.
Scaling Iknimaya and bonding with a banshee is a test that every young hunter must pass.
In my opinion, this acquisition of yours is dangerous and can hurt you.
A: Let's meet on the hill tomorrow at nightfall.
B: Perfect! See you then.
Taking off from the ground is harder than flying off a cliff.
You can hear a lot of echoes in this cave.
They're constructing this gift for the chief. It must be perfect without a single flaw.
In this art it's impossible to arrive at perfection; the only thing that matters is the attempt to arrive there.
After a short flight we landed in a field beside the river.
The words mungwrr and nìfkrr rhyme.
Rini and Ralu want to marry, but I feel they're not compatible.
I replaced my direhorse with a banshee, and now I ride a banshee all the time.
Can you find the humor in this situation?
I sent the gift for you.
(i.e. I sent it to someone else for your sake. (Perhaps you were sick and not able to get out, so I sent it on your behalf.))
I did it for you.
(i.e., for your benefit.)
On keeping this beloved language alive.
It's necessary to check the thickness of the ice before walking on it.
We live beyond the flying mountains.
They were chatting with me at a bad time.
They live across the lake.
(That is, on the opposite side of the lake, on the other shore.)
They live beyond the lake.
(That is, a great distance beyond and out of sight of the lake.)
I don't like to work with Ìstaw; he's famous for his laziness.
It was opportune that they didn't chat with me.
(That is, 'They chose a good time not to chat with me.)
After the rainstorm, his crossbow was under a lot of leaves, so we uncovered it (removed the leaves from it).
A hug will show him that you've already forgiven him.
I can go there with you, but I prefer to travel leisurely.
Leave the animals! Get outside! Run!
Don't be shy! Talk to her!
I offered my life for the sake of our clan.
He said that sadly, he can't avoid meeting with his enemies.
The Sky People arrived five years ago and left two years later.
Jake flew with an ikran before; therefore he tried to do it with a toruk in a similar fashion.
He started to use the bow several days ago.
The Sky People will come to destroy us three years from now!
A: What is father doing?
B: He's reading writing. (He's reading.)
A: What kind of writing? (What is he reading?)
B: He's reading a book about the wars on Earth.
Watch out! There's a hammerhead track under this tree!
As far as I know, he reads the forest well.
to my knowledge
(as far as I know)
I don't know where they're going.
He asked, saying, “Where is Neytiri going?”
(He asked where Neytiri was going.)
He asked where Neytiri was going.
I asked where Neytiri was going.
He requested the where-is-Neytirigoing answer.
(He asked where Neytiri was going.)
Va'ru is the one who created the necklace she was wearing.
After they put on their goggles, they left

Around his arm is an armband.
The parents adorned that pretty little girl with earrings.

There was a great meeting in Seattle.
I really enjoyed the great meeting in Seattle
