Westeros is a grave place , whether you ’re seeking the Iron Throne yourself or just a humble tourist in search of some good skiing weather and a souvenir “ I survive the Night ’s Watch ! ” T - shirt . But this traveler ’s phrasebook may just give you a fortune at making it out of Westeros alive .
Today , we were joined by linguist and creator of both Dothraki and Valyrian for the HBO Game of Thrones series , David Peterson . Peterson answered our interrogative about spoken communication founding and also generated this ready to hand pocket - guide to conversational Dothraki for us :
Hello
M’athchomaroon
Goodbye
Fonas chek
Please
no word for “ please ”
Thank you .
no tidings for “ give thanks you ”
“ Where is the bathroom ? ”
Finne anha navik ? “ Where do I relieve myself ? ”
“ Take me to the hotel . ”
Fichas anna vimithreraan . “ Take me to the camp . ”
“ I do not speak Dothraki . ”
Anha vos astok ki Dothraki .
“ I beseech thee to spare my life , oh great and powerful drawing card . ”
Azhas anhaan atthirar anni , zhey khal vezhven ! “ Give to me my life , mighty khal ! ”
“ You bonk what , I do n’t really want a crown . ”
Vosma , anha vo zigerok firikhnharenoon , k’athjilari .
Of course , not every phrase translates so easy between English and Dothraki . Our preferent nominee for the first Dothraki loanword is lanlekhi , which Peterson describes as “ when you take a bite or eat one of something , and of a sudden you just want to deplete that and nothing else . ” We require this password yesterday , English !
you’re able to translate his full Q&A — which include information about the parentage of Dothraki and on the words he came up with for Defiance and Dominion — right on here .
