The Na'vi live across various biomes of Pandora in territorial clan societies. They have an egalitarian social organization built around hunting, foraging, and handicraft. Common roles within a clan include hunters, gatherers, and artisans, as well as warriors; however, warriors are not called such because they fight as a career - all warriors are hunters first and foremost, and only serve as warriors when they are called upon to fight for their clan.

Humans are known to refer to them as "the natives", "aboriginals", "indigenous" and "the locals". More disparaging names include "blues", "savages" and "hostiles". Parker Selfridge at one point refers to them as "blue monkeys".

The Na’vi are strikingly similar to humans, morphologically, even down to eye placement, hairlessness, and details of musculoskeletal biomechanics such as pelvic structure, finger and toe articulation, and so on. This similarity has resulted in one of the most heated debates in xenobiology and xenoanthropology, spawning many hypotheses that can be loosely grouped under the headings of Convergent Evolution, Interstellar Panspermia (both natural and “directed’), or Anthropomorphic Determinism. Despite the outward similarities, humans and Na'vi are very different internally. Dr. Cordell Lovecraft has stated that humans are far more closely related genetically to garden slugs than to Na'vi. I must admit that it has been a while since I have used eana eltu navi_translate im sure it has seen much editing and improvement since I last used it...i may just go and try it out...and then edit my post.

Paul Frommer's constructed language for "Avatar" serves as the basis for the Na'vi Translator. This provides an accurate representation of Na'vi grammar and vocabulary, but may not cover all nuances and variations. swoasey [ˈswo.a.sɛj] n. kava bowl (constructed from seed pods, used for drinking intoxicating beverages), handsizedThe look of the Na'vi was inspired by a dream that James Cameron's mother had, long before he started work on Avatar, in which she saw tall blue people, the women having six breasts. Cameron tried drawing the six breasts but admitted it looked too strange. [20]

Nouns in Naʼvi show greater number distinctions than those in most human languages do: besides singular and plural, they not only have special dual forms for two of an item (eyes, hands, lovers, etc.), which are common in human language (English has a remnant in "both"), but also trial forms for three of an item, which on Earth are only found with pronouns. Gender is only occasionally (and optionally) marked. I copy pasted Paul Frommer's earth day message(and replaced dashes with commas so it didnt get confused.) it did NOT catch/understand the following: A female Na’vi will typically produce from one to ten offspring, often spaced widely apart in time. Female Na'vi have two breasts and nurse their infants for up to four months. Directly after birth, newborn Na'vi perform their first instance of tsaheylu with their mother to form a strong emotional bond and with her, then they are brought to the Tree of Souls to connect to the Pandoran collective consciousness for the first time.hawmpam [ˈhawm.pam] n. noise. sound that is excessive, unnecessary, inappropriate, unexpected or startling 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". When Na'vi encounter or greet one another, they gesture with their hand from their forehead, extending one hand down toward the other. They marry this gesture with the phrase "oel ngati kameie" (I see you). Connect with others learning the language, or who are fluent. Conversation with a language partner can help your speaking skills.
