Here are the essential Na’vi terms explained before you head back to Pandora in AvatarTheWayOfWater.
Believe it or not, it's not all that uncommon for entirely fictional cultures from pop culture mediums such as film, television, literature, and more to get an entire language created for them. Though this may seem like a simple way to provide world-building, some creatives go above and beyond and seek linguistic counsel to craft an entire vocabulary of words, even if the vast majority of them aren't said in the final product.
Thankfully, the films don't require a ten-week course in Na'vi to understand the films, and the latest installment, Avatar: The Way of Water , makes things easier by having the characters speak English when in the context of the film they're speaking Na'vi. Still, given how intricate the Na'vi culture and language are, perhaps a simple glossary going over the most essential words and phrases of the Pandoran culture could be of help.
Tsaheylu - Bond There's a reason why all Na'vi have a ponytail, and it's not just because of any sort of fashion expectation. Like all living creatures on Pandora, every Na'vi is equipped with a special organ in their hair that when connected, creates a psychic bond called a "Tsaheylu." You may notice that we said Toruk Makto was a person who could ride the Toruk, not tame it.
