Learn Navi with Karyu Pawl - Part 1

[@jamesnichols4807]

2022 anyone?! If enough of us learn it and speak it, they'll have to classify it as a real language

[@cipher4137]

Back at it for Way of Water!

[@dylancole1910]

That would be so cool. Can you imagine just walking down the street years later and common people speaking it as their main communicative language? 😄

Kaltxì

[@shayemccartney9256]

Exactly so I’m learning it ahaha

[@laineboysvr987]

I have just watched the new movie and now committed to learn the language I just need to get the basics of conversion then I can practice more 👍

[@felipemoreira8308]

I think they should make up two versions of Avatar 2: one in English and the other entirely in Na'vi. It would be dope.

[@dylancole1910]

YES

[@sladjanajankovic694]

Well no cuz if there is no subtitles then they will not understand a word they are saying

[@sladjanajankovic694]

But yeah i would like to see

[@dylancole1910]

@@sladjanajankovic694 doesn’t mean they wouldn’t. They could include subtitles for people who are just beginning to learn the language.

So excited to learn the Na'vi language over the summer! :) (I'm pronouncing the alphabet letters out loud at the library, the people behind me probably think there's something wrong with me XD)

[@helenemaria2604]

Alicia Ross is there a book for the na'vi language?

[@faeriefatale333]

don worry i would never :)

[@AboGalio]

can you speak it now

[@AMWZPN]

@@AboGalio I have memorized certain words and phrases. I can pronounce words and sentences pretty well. But I’m not fully fluent like how I want to be. Oe nìnew sngä’i ye’rìn!

[@ariumblackbird8080]

good to see people still want to learn Na'vi, I thought everyone had given up.

[@AnonyMous-gs2gw]

I'm always thinking why someone would learn Klingon because it's a made up language and here I am trying to learn Navi

[@wva6809]

Anony Mous Welcome to the club pal!

[@thejava.witchiswhispering]

And then theres Tolkien elvish, with two distinct dialects 🤣🤣 nerds don't make it easy on ourselves

[@TR-ru7tb]

Klingon has a lot of Gaelic words..I was Gere cause I thought it was cherokee Anisha navy nevermind😂

[@superdeadlyhuis]

Every language was made up once 😌

[@blazemourn]

Na'vi sounds more beautiful if I'm honest. Klingon sounds harsher.

[@Jakkunouno]

I wish they would have uploaded this with out the class it’s pretty hard to follow with all the other sounds and voices but this is the best I’ve seen without teaching yourself so thank you thank you

[@lmlmd2714]

I agree. It'd be nice to get some updated content too. I learned a little bit a few years back and come back to it now and I imagine we'll get a new influx of learners from the new movie, and it's a shame there's no up to date material for them that I'm aware of - esp. as my language is now super rusty. Hoping we get some meet ups arranged in Australia.

[@Rosie-fe4zh]

@@lmlmd2714 There is actually a lot of updated content - google "Kelutral Navi" and you'll find links :)

[@lucidfairth1879]

im learning already! i found this after looking at some sites, and im glad ive gotten into the language. its a beautiful language that im dragging my friends into. herherher. im excited and im freaking out over this language. hoping to have a little fluency by the time the second movie comes out.

[@ishzsbxux]

Second movie is around the corner how is your fluency

[@tapinix]

Second movie just came out, did u stick to it or lose motivation? I'd love to know where u got to

[@timt2708]

You did you stick with it?

[@Breemma]

Why is Na'vi not taught in school yet

[@hughmungus99]

because it's a constructed language for us language nerds and not enough people speak it a for it to be taught in school. And it's not even region specific to anywhere. Like even tho Anishinaabemowin doesn't have a lot of speakers it is still a Native American Language specific to the Great Lakes Region so in some schools especially in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and in some parts of Canada the language is taught in schools. Same with Hawaiian in Hawai'i. It just wouldn't make sense to teach such a small language with no geographical location attached to it. Not until we have schools on Pandora I'm afraid. :(

[@faeriefatale333]

AAAAAH IKR

[@mothercrow1]

this is so awesome to find these vidoes. i have wanted to learn Na'vi but i have to have it in a type of classroom environment or i will never remember and with these i can keep going back till i do understand each part.

[@threewilds]

ah this language is so beautiful- me and my friend actually communicated like this in school yeah everyone thought we were retarded. But it's still awesome

[@BlackMoridin]

My gf and i are learning it now XD

[@blovlh6258]

Sorrel Cat I lol'd at that last sentence.

[@faeriefatale333]

ik, and for a short period of time me and mah fren did too

[@Neytiristree]

@@BlackMoridin update?

[@BlackMoridin]

@@Neytiristree i'll be honest. We broke up and I ended up learning Russian and japanese instead 😅 figured I'd get more use out of those languages. I still wanna learn a con lang, and Na'vi is still up there on the list.

[@GirlsSoDifferent]

Irayo (Thank You) for showing this video!

[@chelsea_playz2104]

I’m learning and pronouncing the letter out loud, I’m hoping to be fluent bu the time the 3rd movie is out in 2 years, or less, it is easier if you are fluent also because you can confuse people if your fluent haha

[@sickhawkz1]

If you know Thai, you can say almost every word in Na'vi easily.

[@pige0223]

Lucky me

[@월드티타]

I wish more people knew about this!

[@i_am_supernowa]

Me here after watching way of water so I can be able to be fluent till next part comes out

[@lmlmd2714]

So disappointed they didn't really use the language to it's full potential in TWOW. I love the film, but I've been waiting over a decade to see more Na'vi language on the big screen.

Could you please do more videos if you can because the language is beautiful and I would love to learn how to speak it

[@t.n.1116]

Why is this Alphabet different than the one on the Wiki and websites? I'm a little confused on which to follow the 😅😭

[@kaylavasquez7994]

I would follow this one since he’s the creator of the language

[@Jovak_art]

i think they have to develop a writing system for Na'vi, 'cause i don't think aliens will use Human alphabets...

[@evadan100]

Na'vi is an oral language, like some languages on earth ;)

[@cauchyhorizon5983]

The Na'vi never had a writing system, so the humans gave them their own.

[@mayazeewonder6349]

Jowyerv Akifumi Na’Vi is a verbal language, not a written one.

[@sorettaray8829]

I would say that like with Maori (which Na'vi is partly based off), the written language was written by English speaking humans. Before the British came to NZ it was only a spoken language, Na'vi will be the same.

[@bruhmomment2999]

It is oral language they don't need writing.

Finnish (my native language) is quite similar in some aspects. Like Ä is totally same and popularly used, same with E and F(fä), or same tone of voice or "alaksi" literally means "are you going?" in Finnish or "käydä" is "go", etc. etc.

[@bredeleven4132]

Is there a practical side to knowing this language? Can you put it on your CV? 😂 I'm genuinely curious

[@forint9654]

Bred Eleven Hello man. Iam learning and also teaching Navi language. You can find some grammar and helpful things on web site learnnavi.org and also on web site dict-navi.com . This web sites are both very good. Try to use them.

[@lmlmd2714]

Not solely by learning it (though it will make it easier to learn other languages, which is invaluable). However, if you learn the language intricacies then contribute to the expansion of the vocabulary and grammar as part of the overall language expansion project, following the existing rules of the language then absolutely - same as any other non-profit work, like open source software development. It shows excellent analytical skills, and ability to understand and build complex models and work effectively on a dispersed collaborative project.

[@livvyreidenbach6292]

Is there digital copies of these handouts anywhere?? Like is it on the website or somewhere else? I've only ever seen the first movie this year so I'm new to it all lol

[@ProZergs]

is this the language of the avatar the blue guys?

[@nla8700]

the way navi language sounds it's so much like Indonesian

[@ricardofernandez9839]

na'vi language is the only language that were spoken by na'vi and all alien races from star wars can't understand it.

[@Mrscud119]

Some of the letter's sounds sound like Spanish

[@xoLoveMatters]

***** They have many vowels, but I'm afraid ë is not one. They have 7 vowels: a, ä, e, i, ì, o, and u, which all have different sounds. :) Slightly confusing language, but so beautiful and it does have its similar moments to Spanish, just like it does to many other languages.

[@xoLoveMatters]

***** I've only been studying for a week or so. It's so much fun though, I can't stop wanting to learn it! :D Yes the grammar is very confusing.

[@hughmungus99]

that's because spanish uses fairly common phonology and its kinda hard not to use human sounds in a constructed language if you want humans to be able to speak it. In fact every single vocalized language on this planet has to use at least 1 or 2 sounds from spanish at the least because of how common those sounds are lol.

[@starlightart5147]

2024 and still at it

hey i thought eo meant "I" or "me"
