So unlike MiniDisc, apparently turn-by-turn navigation systems aren’t going away any time soon (go figure). Thanks to our very own Hrakkar, though, we’ll soon have the option of getting turn-by-turn directions in Dothraki. Pretty wild, right? So this is how it works. Hrakkar found a text file used by Garmin to translate its directions into… Continue reading Finnaan Anha Dothrak?

Indefinite Relatives
Or something close to that, anyway. In honor of the Olympics (though not really in honor of the Olympics), I thought I’d go over a very small, very specific bit of Dothraki grammar.

Today’s season finale had quite a bit of meat on its bones, though, so let’s get right to it! Incidentally, before… Continue reading Ei Mahrazhi’th Drivoe

Or, at least if you’re not a fan of Renly who wasn’t familiar with the books. If you are,… Continue reading Lei Harenhaloon
Halahasar Tolorri
Another week, another episode of Game of Thrones—this week, “Garden of Bones”, which I rendered as Halahasar Tolorri. Yeah…not much we can do with “garden”. Can you imagine! Drogo out with his visor on, water bucket in hand, tending his garden… “Daffodils coming in well this year. Me nem nesa.” Dothraki wouldn’t even have time… Continue reading Halahasar Tolorri
