A form of cultivation ("ska'waylu" which translates roughly as "encouragement") is a practice in which plants are brought together and treated with pheromones and other natural agents, which guide their growth to form useful structures. [14] When the film was released in 2009, Naʼvi had a growing vocabulary of about a thousand words, but understanding of its grammar was limited to Frommer. [1] To date, it has roughly 2,656 words [2] and a fully fleshed out grammatical system, thanks to the work of Paul Frommer [3] and a robust fan community [4]. The goal of this book is to make what is known of Naʼvi grammar available to fans who are attempting to learn the language.

The Na'vi do not follow stereotypical gender roles. The common roles within a clan are not divided by gender, only by ability and necessity. For example, many male Na'vi do not become warriors or hunters, only learning essential self-defense in the wilderness, and instead often choose to focus on child-rearing or crafts such as weaving. Likewise, female Na'vi are known to be active hunters and clan leaders. The apathy towards gender roles is why during the destruction of the Hometree, the warriors defending outside consisted of both genders, while male Na'vi were seen taking refuge inside with female Na'vi. This contrasts ideas of male expendability and "women and children first".It is either the father's or the mother's. Here we would need to know if Na'vi families are patriarchic or matriarchic 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. Various Na'vi clans have developed sophisticated forms of medicine. The Na'vi have been known to reject offers of medical supplies from humans, implying their current medical advancements suit all of their needs.

Everybody has a Na'vi name, so choosing something unique about yourself gives you a more unique name, and a name that will be less likely for someone else to already have. The Na'vi do not share typical human gestures. For example, they do not nod their head to mean "yes" and they do not shake their head to mean "no". When Jake Sully went in for a handshake to greet Eytukan, the Omatikaya viewed this action, which was supposed to be polite and well-intentioned to Jake, as being offensive and out-of-place, causing the clan to become alerted.

vrrìn [ˈv·ṛ.·ɪn] svin. be busy (negative sense): be tired out and overwhelmed by an activity that’s keeping one busy Many religious leaders have used the Na’vi similarity to humans as a demonstration of “intelligent design” but this has triggered its own controversy as to whether Na’vi should be considered “human”, if they have an "immortal soul", and should therefore be accorded the protection and recognition of the church. [5] Lifecycle [ ] Reproduction [ ] The Na'vi translator can be a helpful tool for learning the basics of the language. However, it is recommended to study resources dedicated to learning Na'vi for a more in-depth understanding. 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.

Early concept art of Neytiri was inspired by actress and activist Q'orianka Kilcher in the film The New World. [23] He created artwork of a female Na'vi face which became very similar to her final design.
