Some Minor Info About The Na'Vi In Fop
Posted by tekre on 12/14/2023
It's not really much, and nothing really unexpected, but I thought I share it anyway.
First of all, Pawl's comment on the usage of the word yawntu in the game:
Quote:
As for "ma yawntu," it's rather like the way some people say "my dear" in English, even to people they hardly know. I believe it's mainly Nefika who says that a lot, which may be a personal idiosyncrasy of hers. It doesn't necessarily imply a love relationship.
Not unexpected, but still news, as he had specifically said before that "Your yawntu is your beloved, the person for whom you feel serious, mature, deep love"
Next, about "Eetu":
Quote:
As for Eentu, well . . . we can say it's a dialectal possibility among the Aranahe.
(I misspelled the name as "Eentu" in my mail to him, I guess that's why he also answered with the same typo <:derp:841785864136556597>)
Then, about some spelling errors in the game:
Quote:
I wasn't aware of the spellings "p'asuk" and "ma'yawntu". I didn't even know there would be written Na'vi anywhere in the game. But I think those are things one can live with. I have no idea whether or not these minor little glitches can be corrected in future editions, but if and when you and others have a chance (no rush!), perhaps you can compile a list of such things, and at some point I may be able to convey them to the producers and directors.
I'm already working on that list (have been since the moment I saw the first trailers hrh), if someone finds something I would appreciate if you could tell me :)
