Words and phrases in Na'vi

oél ngáti kámeie "I See you." (Similar to Namaste. It means seeing into the person, their soul/essence/true self, and understanding/connecting.)

Eywa ngáhu "Gaia be with you" Their mother earth is the energy that is existence, along with recognition and response to that connection of energy.

káme "to See"

Kìyevame ulte Eywa ngahu. "See you again, and may Eywa be with you."

’Awve ultxari ohengeyä, Nawma Sa’nok lrrtok siveiyi. "May the Great Mother smile upon our first meeting (yeah!)."

Now, besides American Sign Language, I really want to learn the language of the Na'vi. I'm not sure what the actual language is called. According to an interview, it's the only language on Pandora but has varying dialects. This film is bringing out my inner nerd like Star Wars never did. <3
