sotey dealing with a language barrier!
so i’ve been thinking, you know how it’s implied that in the movies everyone is speaking na’vi, and we hear it in english because jake understands it now? yes? okay!
so i’m thinking what if this is kind of the same with tamtey, obviously so’lek and other na’vi have learned english but you know with growing up in tap they probably weren’t able to speak in na’vi.
so when tamtey gets out and she’s around other na’vi she’s trying her best to keep up with the conversations but she’s struggling, of course so’lek notices, so every now and then he’ll tap her shoulder or brush against her arm and whisper whatever she needs translated into english.
just imagine her face lighting up and a bright smile directed to so’lek as a thank you! i just find this so sweet!
i’m also remembering the scene from secret of the spires when she’s talking to zat, (the ke’awa kame’tire cook), and he mentions the blade-wing moth and he gets a little frustrated when she says blade-wing moth and not reyknap! please tell me y’all see the vision 😔
