Notes

7/12 Script: For the ﬁrst round, we received the version of the script that

was accurate on 7/12/2008. The scenes from there have since

changed, but I've left the translations in for the purposes of

comparison.

Requested Translation: Finalists were given a series of notes to follow in

preparing their ﬁnal proposals. Among these notes were requests

that speciﬁc phrases be translated (these phrases themselves appear

later in the script, anyway, but I translated them separately just in

case that's the way they were wanted). They'll come ﬁrst.

Note: The audio ﬁles in this

section can be found in the

"Dialogue" folder inside the

"Audio Files" folder.

Requested Translation: From ILLYRIO to DROGO (1)

Athchomár chomakaán!

[aT.tSo.»mar tSo.ma.ka.»an]

/respect-NOM. respectful-AGT.-ALL.SG./

"Welcome!"

Notes: The phrase here translates to, "Respect to the respectful!" When it

comes to outsiders, respect is key for the Dothraki: If outsiders respect them

and their culture, they won't kill them. Thus, this phrase has become the

traditional greeting the Dothraki use with outsiders, and which outsiders use

with them.

In this scene, ILLYRIO is greeting DROGO, but it isn't clear if ILLYRIO will be

greeting DROGO only, or DROGO and his men. If it's the latter, the greeting

should properly be in the plural, and not the singular. The greeting above is

in the singular; for the plural, see below.

Athchomár chómakea!

[aT.tSo.»mar »tSo.ma.ke.a]

/respect-NOM. respectful-AGT.-ALL.PL./

"Welcome!"

Notes: As mentioned above, this greeting is the same, but should be used

when the addressee is plural.

Requested Translation: From ILLYRIO to DROGO (2)

Vítiheri máe k'áthzalari.

[»vi.ti.he.Ri »ma.e »kaT.za.la.Ri]

/DUR.-see-DUR.-COM.FRM. 3sg.-ACC. by-desire-GEN./

"Inspect her at your leisure."

Notes: The literal translation is, "Inspect her when you desire". The adverb

k'áthzalari is the basic equivalent of "at your leisure", as the concept of

"leisure" is foreign to the Dothraki.

"Viserys of the House Targaryen, the third of that name. King of the Andals and the

First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. His sister

Daenerys Stormborn, Princess of Dragonstone. His honorable host, Illyrio

Mopatis, Magister of the Free City of Pentos."

Notes: In the speech above, KHAL DROGO's eunuch is pronouncing the names

of foreigners. A question one might ask is just how adept this eunuch is at

pronouncing foreign names. Would he pronounce "Viserys" and "Daenerys"

as Dothraki words, giving them Dothraki stress, or is he ﬂuent in the

surrounding languages, and able to pronounce the names natively? Even if he

can, which is more appropriate? What I've given above is a Dothraki

pronunciation with "common" stress (i.e. the stress I imagine the names have

in the minds of English speakers). I've also normalized the "y" vowels,

turning them into Dothraki i's.

Also, I'd like to note that I've translated the names "Stormborn" and

"Dragonstone" directly into Dothraki (similar to Native American names in

English, where we say "Chief Sitting Bull" and not "Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake"). If

the directors wish, the English names can stay in, untranslated. In this case,

they'd be pronounced with a Dothraki accent (for which, see the section of the

grammar dedicated to the pronunciation of English with a Dothraki accent).

Finally, a quick note about ILLYRIO's title. "Magister" doesn't really mean

anything in English: the title's meaning is unique to Martin's A Song of Fire &

Ice series. What a Magister of Pentos is is a de facto ruler—someone who

knows all the right people and knows how to grease the system, and who, as

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 7

a result, is rich and powerful. In the translation above, then, I gave a Dothraki

translation of what they think of the position: Shilák Vezhvén, which means

something like "Great Busybody". If the actual title "Magister" is wanted,

though, the Dothraki version would be Magístro, Mazhístro, or Majístro

(depending on the desired pronunciation of "g" in "Magister").

I'd also like to note that I've given both "Pentos" and "Mopatis" Dothraki

pronunciations. This isn't necessary, of course, and the f's can be changed

back to p's if the directors/writers feel it's necessary for intelligibility.

A ﬁnal note: As it's written in the script, this speech has kind of a cold open,

starting off right away with the name of the ﬁrst person to be introduced. I

know this is the custom in, for example, formal balls in the late 1800s in

England, but just in case you want more of an introduction, you might begin

with, "Mighty Khal, I present to you…" That would be: Khal vezhvén! Ánha

asshilák sháfka… Then, for absolute ﬁdelity, all the names of those

introduced would be in the ablative singular, but that's not necessary (even in

Dothraki, I'd imagine if one wanted to focus on the full form of a foreign

name, it would be uninﬂected).

From the 7/12 Script: ILLYRIO's Conversation with KHAL DROGO

At this point in the script, ILLYRIO, who has just pointed out KHAL

DROGO to DAENERYS and VISERYS, walks over to DROGO and has

a private conversation with him. It seems likely that the viewer

will not be able to hear this conversation fully, but as some

conversation must take place between the two, I've provided some

samples that can be used by the actors.

Khal vezhvén! M'athchomaroón! Ánha qovák háji kovarikhoón sháfki!

[xal veZ.»ven maT.tSo.ma.Ro.»on »an.ha qo.»vak »ha.dZi ko.va.Ri.xo.»on »Saf.ki]

/khal-NOM. great-NOM.AGR.! with-respect-ABL.! 1sg.-NOM. tremble-1sg.PRES. because.of stance-

ABL. 2sg.FRM.-GEN./

"Mighty Khal! Hello! I tremble in your presence!"

Notes: This is ILLYRIO's greeting to KHAL DROGO. He is obsequious and a bit

foppish, so this kind of an over-the-top greeting suits him.

Athchomár yeraán, Shilák Vezhvén. Yer shári, k'áthtihari.

[aT.tSo.»mar je.Ra.»an Si.»lak veZ.»ven jer »Sa.Ri »kaT.ti.ha.Ri]

/respect-NOM. 2sg.INF.-ALL., gossip-NOM. great-NOM.AGR. 2sg.-NOM. healthy-2sg.PRES., by-sight-

GEN./

"Respect to you, Magister. You seem healthy."

Notes: DROGO's reply is more direct, as he is more reserved (also notice that

while ILLYRIO refers to KHAL DROGO with the formal sháfka, DROGO uses the

informal yer with him, as a way of showing that he is superior to the

magister). His comment—that ILLYRIO appears "healthy"—is a semi-polite

way of saying that ILLYRIO is fat. ILLYRIO isn't going to pick up on this subtle

insult.

As noted above, I've translated "Magister" as Shilák Vezhvén. For a Dothraki

version of the English word "Magister", see the note in From the 7/12 Script:

EUNUCH's Speech.

"Thank you, Great Khal! I have suffered from no sickness, thanks to the sun, the moon

and the stars. The sun is bright today! It is pleased by this marriage. Does it

please you, Khal?"

Notes: Here ILLYRIO has taken DROGO's subtle insult and interpreted it

literally, claiming that he hasn't been sick at all. It's Dothraki tradition to give

tribute to the sun, moon and stars for any good fortune, lest it be taken away,

and so ILLYRIO is paying homage to their culture by including the stock

phrase in his reply. He then moves the conversation towards the wedding,

hoping to pave the way for a successful union.

Kísha vézoki, zhey Shilák.

[»ki.Sa »e.zo.ki Zej Si.»lak]

/1pl.-NOM. FUT.-discover-1pl., VOC. gossip-NOM./

"We will ﬁnd out, Magister."

Notes: KHAL DROGO's reply is curt, at best. He still doesn't necessarily trust or

like ILLYRIO, and is wary of his intentions ("How does this marriage proﬁt

him?" he wonders). By shortening his title to simply shilák, the Khal, yet

again, subtly insults him—and also tells him what he thinks of him—as

shilák by itself is a word for a busybody or gossip. If we go with the Dothraki

pronunciation of the English word "Magister", this subtlety will be lost.

Sek, sháfka vézoe, zhey Khal, ánha asták asqóy! Ma hash sháfka ray tihísh kemokés

"Indeed, you will, Khal, I promise you! And have you seen your bride yet? She's

standing over there, great Khal. Can you see her? She's beautiful, beautiful…!"

Notes: ILLYRIO gives his asqoy, or "blood word", here. He likely takes it

lightly, but such a thing is very serious to the Dothraki, so at this point, if

DROGO isn't pleased with DAENERYS, ILLYRIO's in trouble. KHAL DROGO knows

that ILLYRIO is likely oblivious to this fact, and is probably amused by the

whole exchange.

Tíhi vékhi ma anhoón, vosós?

[»ti.hi »ve.xi an.ho.»on vo.»sos]

/eye-GEN. exist-3pl.PRES. with 1sg.-ABL., no-RED.?/

"I have eyes, don't I?"

Notes: KHAL DROGO, a man of action, grows impatient with this chit-chat.

He's ready for things to move along, and challenges ILLYRIO here, in a way, to

drive him away.

Éste, éste! Vos athzichomezár, Khal Vezhvén! Áse sháfki athdrivár! Ajjín! Hash ánha

"Of course, of course! No disrespect, great Khal! Your word is death! Now! May I

introduce you to your bride-to-be?"

Notes: ILLYRIO now tries to move things along. (Sidenote: What is translated

as "may" is the word for "can". In Dothraki, there is no "may" [so if a Dothraki

asks, "Can you pass the salt?", never respond, "Sure, I can. Are you asking may

I pass the salt?" if you value your life].)

Ánha vifák yéri.

[»an.ha vi.»fak »je.Ri]

/1sg.-NOM. FUT.-walk-1sg. 2sg.INF.-GEN./

"I'll follow you."

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 11

Notes: Technically, this is, "I'll walk beside you." In Dothraki, though, there is

no word for "to follow", as the very notion of following would force a

Dothraki to admit his inferiority. Thus, one can't say, "I'll follow you", so one

says, "I'll go with you", or, "I'll go beside you." Essentially, though, KHAL

DROGO, in good spirits now that he has gotten the appropriate reaction out of

ILLYRIO, is saying, "Lead on!"

Athdavrazár! Jádi, Khal Vezhvén!

[aT.dav.Ra.»zar »dZa.di xal veZ.»ven]

/goodness-NOM.! come-COM.FRM., khal-NOM. great-NOM.AGR.!/

"Marvelous! Come, Mighty Khal!"

Notes: ILLYRIO's taking his life in his hands by ordering DROGO (even

politely), but DROGO will let it pass.

This leads to the end of the scene on the middle of page 17 from the

7/12/08 script. This entire section of dialogue is not the focus of

this part of the scene. This is the dialogue for what goes on between

DROGO and ILLYRIO while DAENERYS and VISERYS are talking

(the section that begins with VISERYS's line "You see how long his

hair is?"). If the viewer is intended to hear, perhaps, snippets of

DROGO and ILLYRIO's conversation while DAENERYS and VISERYS

are talking, this is it. If the viewer is only supposed to hear,

perhaps, the beginning and end, then use only the beginning and

end. If more or less dialogue is needed, but its content is

unimportant, feel free to cut anything or add anything. All this is

here simply to give you the option of having some authentic

Dothraki dialogue that's pertinent to the scene going on in the

background.

GoT Scene 21: In ILLYRIO's Courtyard

The EUNUCH's speech from the 7/12/08 script seems strikingly

similar to this updated Scene 21. My guess is that the updated

scene has replaced the earlier scene. Nevertheless, I've treated the

old scene fully, just as this one. Feel free to borrow elements from

the old scene into this new one, or switch things around as you see

ﬁt. My goal is to give you as many options as possible.

Es! Es! Es!

[es es es]

/yah! yah! yah!/

"Yah! Yah! Yah!"

Hosh!

"Giddyup!"

/easy, easy, easy…/

"Easy, easy, easy…"

Nch-nch!

[NÉí NÉí]

/EXH. EXH./

"Nch, nch!"

Notes: The above are some Dothraki-speciﬁc phrases (all fairly content-less)

to accompany horse riding. In the updated Scene 21, three BLOODRIDERS enter,

followed by KHAL DROGO. All are on horseback and appear to be riding fairly

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 13

quickly. Presumably they'll be giving commands to their horses, so I've

provided commands for them to give. They might not all be called for at this

point in the script, but I've coined them, nevertheless. The ﬁrst three (variants

of es and hosh) are exhortatives, and are used to urge the horse on. Soróh is

used to stop the horse (or a band of horses), and the nonce refrain áffa, áffa,

áffa is used to steady the horse, if necessary. These can be used in any scene

with Dothraki on horses. I've also provided, at the end, a click that can be

used to set the horses in motion again. Clicks defy spelling systems, so please

listen to the provided audio sample to hear precisely which sound I intend

(alternatively, the IPA transcriptions are exact).

Aside from this, there should be no speech from the BLOODRIDERS or DROGO,

as it's upon ILLYRIO to welcome his guests appropriately. As such, his words

should come ﬁrst.

Athchomár chomakaán, Khal Vezhvén!

[aT.tSo.»mar tSo.ma.ka.»an xal veZ.»ven]

/respect-NOM. respectful-AGT.-ALL.SG., khal-NOM. great-NOM.AGR./

"Welcome, Mighty Khal!"

Notes: This welcome is delivered speciﬁcally to DROGO and does not include

his BLOODRIDERS. If the BLOODRIDERS are to be included, chomakaan should

be changed to chómakea. (For more on this welcome, see Requested

Translation: From ILLYRIO to DROGO (1).)

Protector of the Realm, presents his sister Daenerys Stormborn, Princess of

Dragonstone."

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 14

Notes: The main differences between this speech and the EUNUCH's speech

are detailed below:

• As ILLYRIO is now speaking, his introduction (the last line) has been

removed, and the ﬁrst line from the script has been added ("I present

to you").

• "Third of that name" has been changed to "third of his name".

• The verb "presents" has been added after "Protector of the Realm".

• While technically grammatically correct, the phrasing in the script

seems rather awkward to me. If I understand it right, ILLYRIO is

presenting VISERYS who's presenting DAENERYS (but that presentation

is still being voiced by ILLYRIO). As such, I tried to make the phrase

before "presents" sound a bit fuller (in the English translation, anyway;

it's the same in Dothraki).

• Added the adjective jil, "Rightful" (more generally, "correct" or

"appropriate").

• As this speech is now being delivered by ILLYRIO, and not the Dothraki

EUNUCH, ILLYRIO's accent should be used (for more on accents, see

"Accents in Dothraki (Peterson).pdf").

In addition, please see the comments for From the 7/12 Script: EUNUCH's

Speech, as most of those comments apply here.

At this point in the scene, VISERYS is supposed to take DAENERYS

to the pedestal, but she hesitates. There's then some conversation

amongst them, DAENERYS gets on the pedestal, KHAL DROGO

inspects her, and he and his BLOODRIDERS ride off. It seems to me

that the silence of the Dothraki present really makes this scene, but

there might be a few small bits of dialogue. These I've provided and

explained below.

Tihás noréth!

[ti.»has no.»ReT]

/see-COM.INFR. hair-ACC./

"Look at her hair!"

Noréth vízhada ven az!

[no.»ReT »vi.Za.da ven az]

/hair-NOM. silver-3sg.PRES. like blade-NOM.!/

"Her hair is silver like a blade!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 15

Tíhi réaveni ven dan!

[»ti.hi »re.a.ve.ni ven dan]

/eye-PL.NOM. purple-3pl.PRES. like gem-PL.NOM./

"Her eyes are purple like gems!"

Hih! Tihás! Váﬁ qóva!

[hih ti.»has »va.fi »qo.va]

/ha! see-COM.INFR.! ewe-DIM.-NOM. tremble-3sg.PRES.!/

"Heh! Look! The lamb trembles!"

Me rókha!

[me »ro.xa]

/3sg.-NOM. fear-3sg.PRES./

"She's afraid!"

Asp!

[asp|]

/shh!/

"Shh!" or "Shush!"

Notes: Here is what I imagine for this scene. After DAENERYS refuses to go

forward, everyone is bound to notice it. While I'm sure KHAL DROGO would

never comment, his BLOODRIDERS might. Above are some of the comments

they might make either when they see DAENERYS for the ﬁrst time, or when

they see her refuse to move. I imagine that they would whisper these things

to each other, and that the moment DROGO heard them, he would tell them to

be quiet (that's the Asp!). As such, the phrases will probably be clipped, but

I've provided the whole sentence so that it can be cut off naturally. While the

BLOODRIDERS might be silent, I gather that KHAL DROGO takes the ceremony

very seriously; the BLOODRIDERS, less so.

At some point in time after the presentation and before DAENERYS

gets on the pedestal, ILLYRIO says the following.

Vítiheri máe k'áthzalari.

[»vi.ti.he.Ri »ma.e »kaT.za.la.Ri]

/DUR.-see-DUR.-COM.FRM. 3sg.-ACC. by-desire-GEN./

"Inspect her at your leisure."

Notes: Something like Khal Vezhvén, "Great Khal", can be added to the end of

this phrase.

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 16

Once DAENERYS is on the pedestal, the inspection continues

silently, per the stage directions. After it's been completed, KHAL

DROGO and the BLOODRIDERS will likely urge their horses on, for

which see above (the same horse commands will apply). Part of

what makes this scene great is how little the Dothraki say, so I

think a minimum of dialogue here is a good thing.

GoT Scene 36: With Two SENTRIES

This is the short scene wherein one SENTRY tries to get some of the

other SENTRY's jerky.

Hále. Hash anhaán?

[»ha.le haS an.ha.»an]

/hey. Q 1sg.-ABL.?/

"Hey. Any for me?"

Notes: The Dothraki above is extremely casual. It's not polite, per se, but such

a request could never be considered offensive. The second SENTRY, though

(whose mouth is full), slaps the ﬁrst SENTRY's hand away. The speaker above

stands and reaches for his arakh and goes on to speak.

Hash yer záli drivolát asshékh?!

[haS jer »za.li dRi.vo.»lat aS.»Sex]

/Q 2sg.INFR.-NOM. hope-2sg.PRES. die-INF. today-ACC.?/

"Do you want to die today?!"

Notes: Here's the hungry SENTRY's jumpy response.

Hash yer?

[haS jer]

/Q 2sg.INFR.-NOM.?/

"Do you?"

Notes: This is the jerky SENTRY's rather indifferent response. After this, they

look at each other for a time. Finally, the hungry SENTRY sits down and

responds.

Hílekhvaﬁ…

[»hi.lex.va.fi]

/dig-AGT.-sheep-NOM.…/

"Sheepfucker…"

Notes: The jerky SENTRY chooses to ignore this, since he has his jerky and the

other SENTRY has sat back down. Suddenly, one's attention shifts.

/grunt/

"Huh…"

Notes: I'm not sure how long this scene is supposed to go on for, or how

involved it's supposed to be, but at this point, where one claims to see

DAENERYS, you might have the hungry SENTRY subtly steal the jerky while the

other SENTRY is distracted. Alternatively, perhaps the SENTRY with the jerky, in

his excitement, will drop the jerky, and the hungry SENTRY, not caring about a

little dirt, will pick it up and ﬁnish it.

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 19

GoT Scene 37: Opening

Before ILLYRIO, JORAH, and VISERYS converse, there's an

expansive scene with a lot of Dothraki warriors and people milling

about. In this scene, KHAL DROGO gives various commands and

makes some jokes in Dothraki. Below is a sampling of some of the

things he or any of the other Dothraki within range of the

microphones might say. They need appear in no particular order.

Es hazzaán!

[»es haz.za.»an]

/go-COM.INF. there-ALL.!/

"Go there!"

Nakhás!

[na.»xas]

/stop-COM.INFR.!/

"Stop!"

Nákhi!

[»na.xi]

/stop-COM.FOR.!/

"Stop!"

Notes: Regarding the last two "stops", I imagine that the ﬁrst would be used

when a random Dothraki-speaker is telling someone else to stop doing

something (e.g. while setting up), but the latter is used when KHAL DROGO or

his messenger/assistant tells everyone to stop, because something else is

going to take place.

Es anhoón, krol!

[es an.ho.»on kRol]

/go-COM.INFR. 1sg.-ABL., ﬂea-NOM.!/

"Get away from me, pest!" or "Get out of my way, pest!"

Notes: The word krol, "ﬂea" doubles as a word for "pest" (used with annoying

people or children).

Rhelás eyelát jin!

[Rhe.»las e.je.»lat dZin]

/help-COM.INFR. move-INF. this-ACC.!/

"Help move this!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 20

Jadás rhelát eyelát jin!

[dZa.»das Rhe.»lat e.je.»lat dZin]

/come-COM.INFR. help-INF. move-INF. this-ACC.!/

"Come help move this!"

Chakás!

[tSa.»kas]

/be.silent-COM.INFR.!/

"Quiet!"

Cháki!

[»tSa.ki]

/be.silent-COM.FOR.!/

"Silence!"

Acchakás hosk!

[at.tSa.»kas hosk]

/CAUS.-silent-COM.INFR. snout-ACC.!/

"Shut up!"

Notes: Here we have a three-way distinction: The ﬁrst is just a general

command by anyone to be quiet; the second is probably a formal command

from KHAL DROGO; and the third is an insult whose force is much greater

than saying "Shut up!" in English.

Azhás haz anhaán!

[a.»Zas haz an.ha.»an]

/give-COM.INFR. that-ACC. 1sg.-ALL.!/

"Give that to me!"

Vos!

[vos]

/no!/

"No!"

Ái!

[»a.i]

/yes!/

"Yes!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 21

Vosécchi!

[vo.»set.tSi]

/never!/

"Never!"

Addrivás máe!

[ad.dRi.»vas »ma.e]

/CAUS.-die-COM.INFR. 3sg.-ACC.!/

"Kill him!"

Addrivás haz tokikés!

[ad.dRi.»vas haz to.ki.»kes]

/CAUS.-die-COM.INFR. that fool-ACC.!/

"Kill that fool!"

Fichás oggoés anhaán!

[fi.»tSas og.go.»es an.ha.»an]

/take-COM.INFR. head-ACC. 1sg.-ALL.!/

"Bring me his head!"

Notes: I was trying to imagine what the natural course of events would be

after someone said, "Give me that!", and this is what came to mind. Note that

the last command is especially insulting, as the word the speaker uses for

"head" is the word for an animal's head, not for a human's head.

Hoyalasarés!

[ho.ja.la.sa.»Res]

/music-ACC.!/

"Music!" or "Let there be music!" or "Play music!"

Ezhirás!

[e.Zi.»Ras]

/dance-COM.INFR.!/

"Dance!"

Fichás azh rekkaán!

[fi.»tSas aZ rek.ka.»an]

/take-COM.INFR. gift-ACC. there-ALL.!/

"Put the gifts there!"

scene37openpt2.mp3

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 22

Fichás hadaén!

[fi.»tSas ha.da.»en]

/take-COM.INFR. food-ACC.!/

"Get the food!" or "Bring the food!"

Ogás rek oqét!

[o.»gas rek o.»qet]

/slaughter-COM.INFR. that sheep-ACC.!/

"Slaughter that sheep!"

Vittéy!

[vit.»tej]

/feast-ACC.!/

"Feast!" or "Let the feast commence!"

Acchakás hrazéf!

[at.tSa.»kas hRa.»zef]

/CAUS.-silent-COM.INFR. horse-ACC.!/

"Silence the horses!"

Sadatés!

[sa.da.»tes]

/drum-INF.-ACC.!/

"Let there be drumming!" or "Drum!" or "Let the drumming commence!"

Below is some banter intended to be spoken between DROGO and

various assembled Dothraki warriors. Each pair of phrases works

the same way: DROGO calls out to someone with a question or

comment, and the singled-out Dothraki warrior responds. All the

names have been invented for these examples and can be changed

freely (though all are licit Dothraki names).

Áyena yéri áli, zhey Jóno!

[»a.je.na »je.Ri »a.li Zej »dZo.no]

/bell-NOM.PL. 2sg.INFR.-GEN. be.more-3pl.PRES., VOC. Jono-NOM.!/

"Davo! How many girls have you fucked?"

"Try the lamb, Asho!"

"Kino, you stallion! Let's hear your bells!"

Ahah, hah! Khalaán!

[a.»hah hah xa.la.»an]

/ha, ha! khal-ALL.!/

"Ha, ha! For the Khal!"

Notes: Here KHAL DROGO accosts one of his warriors and is, essentially,

asking him to shake his braid around in the air (to show off how many bells

he has in his hair).

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 24

Arákh yéri tih qoy asshékh, zhey Tásho!

/arakh-NOM. 2sg.INFR.-GEN. see-3sg.PST. blood-ACC. today-ACC., VOC. Tasho-NOM.!/

"Your arakh has seen blood today, Tasho!"

Sek, vosma sif ray tího gech!

[sek »vos.ma sif raj »ti.ho getS]

/yes, but shovel-NOM. yet see-3sg.NEG.PST. hole-ACC.!/

"Yes, but my cock hasn't seen any pussy yet!"

Notes: Sif, "shovel" is a slang term for penis, and gech, "hole" is a slang term

for vagina. In addition, arakh is sometimes used to refer to a penis, so this is

whence the reply stems.

Zhey Sakátto! Yer ray ádakho vos! Adakhás! Hash yer chíori?

[Zej sa.»kat.to jer raj »a.da.xo vos a.da.»xas haS jer »tSi.o.Ri]

/VOC. Sakatto-NOM.! 2sg.-NOM. eat-2sg.PST.NEG. not! eat-COM.INFR.! Q 2sg.INFR.-NOM. woman-

"Sakatto! You haven't eaten yet! Eat! Are you a woman?"

Ánha vadakhák éi hadaén ﬁn jínne, majín gángo zin ónira vos! Sháfka átihi, Khal

"I will eat all the food here, and my stomach still will not be full! You will see, Mighty

Khal!"

If necessary, more dialogue like this can be generated and/or

translated in very little time. This will lead into—and perhaps be

heard in the background during—VISERYS, JORAH, and ILLYRIO's

conversation, which leads to the drum dance.

scene37drumpt1.mp3

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 25

GoT Scene 37: Drum Dance and Fight

This part of Scene 37, which comprises the dance, the combat, and

the killing, will be broken into different sections based on the

dialogue required, and who speaks. First will be comments that

might be made by those witnessing the drum dance (both KHAL

DROGO and various audience members below).

Ezhirás! Ezhirás!

[e.Zi.»Ras e.Zi.»Ras]

/dance-COM.INFR.! dance-COM.INFR.!/

"Dance! Dance!"

Es! Es!

[es es]

/go-COM.INFR.! go-COM.INFR.!/

"Go! Go!"

Athdavrazár!

[aT.dav.Ra.»zar]

/usefulness-NOM.!/

"Marvelous!" or "Excellent!" or "Wonderful!"

Khoyás!

/catch-COM.INFR.!/

"Catch!"

Khoyás máe! Khoyás máe!

[xo.»jas »ma.e xo.»jas »ma.e]

/catch-COM.INFR. 3sg.-ACC.! catch-COM.INFR. 3sg.-ACC.!/

"Catch it! Catch it!"

Notes: Regarding these last two, in the book, the Khal periodically throws a

medallion onto the dance ﬂoor for the dancing women to ﬁght over. If he's

feeling jovial, he might say something like Khoyás to accompany one of his

tosses, and I imagine the audience would take up the refrain.

Khal nem állayafa.

[xal nem »al.la.ja.fa]

/khal-NOM. PASS. please-3sg.PRES./

"The Khal is pleased."

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 26

The following dialogue comes directly from the male audience

members. Here, presumably they are talking to the dancers. I

realize it may not have been your intent for the audience members

to try to interact with the dancers, but just in case, I've provided

some dialogue for them.

Hále!

[»ha.le]

/hey!/

"Hey!"

Hále, chiorísh!

[»ha.le tSi.o.»RiS]

/hey, woman-DIM.!/

"Hey, baby!"

Hále, zheanák!

[»ha.le Ze.a.»nak]

/hey, beautiful-AGT.!/

"Hey, beautiful!"

Hále! Hash géchi ﬁn laz ánha hilék vékha ma yeroón?

[»ha.le haS »ge.tSi fin laz »an.ha hi.»lek »ve.xa ma je.Ro.»on]

/hey! Q hole-GEN. COMP.-ACC. can 1sg.-NOM. dig-1sg.PRES. exist-3sg.PRES. with 2sg.-ABL./

"Hey! You got a hole I can dig?"

Notes: Gech "hole" is a very crude term for "vagina", and hilelat "to dig" is

used to metaphorically refer to sexual intercourse with the man in the

dominant role. (This was used previously, as well.)

Tihás rek sov!

[»ti.has rek sov]

/see-COM.INFR. that pear-ACC.PL./

"Look at those breasts!"

Notes: Sóvi, "pear" is a slang term for breast (female).

Ánha zalák ostolát haz sov!

[»an.ha za.»lak os.to.»lat haz sov]

/1sg. hope-1sg.PRES. bite-INCH.-INF. that pear-ACC.PL./

"I'd like to take a bite out of those pears!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 27

Hrazéf ánni dóthrae maán!

[hRa.»zef »an.ni »doT.Ra.e ma.»an]

/horse-NOM. 1sg.-GEN. ride-3sg.PRES. 3sg.-ALL./

"My horse is riding for her!"

Notes: The expression "My horse rides" is another way to say that one has an

erection.

Ánha zalák rek!

[»an.ha za.»lak rek]

/1sg. hope-1sg.PRES. that-ACC./

"I want that one!"

Vos! Réki áﬁsana!

[vos »re.ki »a.fi.sa.na]

/no that-NOM. COMP.-clean-COMP.-3sg.PRES./

"No! That one's prettier!"

Tókiki! Réki áﬁsanaza!

[vos »re.ki »a.fi.sa.na.za]

/no that-NOM. SUP.-clean-SUP.-3sg.PRES./

"Fools! That one's the prettiest!"

Notes: Here the drunken fellows refer to the women as inanimate. This is far

from uncommon—especially since the word for girl, nayat, is inanimate.

Also, the word ﬁs "clean" is slang for "pretty".

Ánha vacchinák ven máe ven tísh!

[»an.ha vat.tSi.»nak ven »ma.e ven tiS]

/1sg. FUT.-CAUS.-be.bent-1sg.FUT. like 3sg.-ACC. like sapling-ACC./

"I'm gonna bend her like a sapling!"

Ekh! Rháesi réddi vénoe yeraán ma galaán réddi.

/eh leg-NOM.PL. thin-DIM. be.like-INCH.-3pl.PRES. 2sg.-ABL. and egg-ABL. thin-DIM./

"Eh… Her skinny legs suit you and your skinny dick."

Notes: Gále "egg" is a slang term for "penis". Also of note, the word réddi

indeed means "skinny", but that isn't necessarily a positive thing in Dothraki

culture. This is the type of insult that could lead to a ﬁght, but if the mood is

right and the insult comes from a peer or a friend, a ﬁerce bloodrider can

laugh it off.

scene37drumpt2.mp3

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 28

Réki ávekha m'anhoón!

"That one will be mine!"

Sajás máe!

[sa.»dZas »ma.e]

/mount-COM.INFR. 3sg.-ACC.!/

"Mount her!"

Sek!

[sek]

/yes!/

"Yes!" or "Yeah!" or "All right!"

Now comes the ﬁght. I've created a kind of sequence for the ﬁght

which may or may not work. Either way, this will give you an idea

of how it can work, and what kind of dialogue can be used.

Eqorasás chioriés ánni, rákhi!

[e.qo.Ra.»sas tSi.o.Ri.»es »an.ni »ra.xi]

/REV.-grasp-REV.-COM.INFR. woman-ACC. 1sg.-GEN., boy-DIM.-NOM./

"Unhand my woman, little boy!"

Notes: Rákhi, the diminutive of "boy", is quite possibly the highest insult one

Dothraki warrior can pay to another. At the very utterance of the word—even

in jest—arakhs should be drawn.

Acchakás hosk, hlefák! Nayát ánni!

[at.tSa.»kas hosk hle.»fak na.»jat »an.ni]

/CAUS.-be.silent-COM.INFR. snout-ACC., eunuch-NOM. girl-NOM. 1sg.-GEN./

"Shut your mouth, eunuch! The girl is mine!"

Notes: Though greatly insulted—and before his Khal, no less—the warrior

here is evidently trying to make light of the situation, and maybe diffuse it

(though he certainly didn't help himself out by calling the other guy a hlefák,

"eunuch").

Tihatés hash az ánni vézzoe yeraán athchomár jíla, rákhi!

[ti.ha.»tes haS az »an.ni »vez.zo.e je.Ra.»an aT.tSo.»mar »dZi.la »ra.xi]

/see-INF.-ACC. if blade-NOM. 1sg.-GEN. FUT.-CAUS.-ﬁnd-INCH.-3sg.FUT. 2sg.-ALL. respect-ACC.

proper-NNM.AGR. boy-DIM.-NOM./

"Let's see if my blade will teach you the proper respect, little boy!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 29

Notes: The ﬁrst warrior has repeated his insult, and has now drawn his arakh.

If the second is any kind of Dothraki warrior, he must respond in kind.

Ánha zalák m'arákh mra qóra áhasana moón mr'áfta, ch'ánha ofrakhók jos yéri!

[»an.ha za.»lak ma.»rax mRa »qo.Ra »a.ha.sa.na mo.»on »mRaf.ta »tSan.ha

/1sg.-NOM. hope-1sg.PRES. COMP.-arakh-NOM. in hand-NOM. CMPR.-be.sharp-CMPR.-3sg.PRES.

3sg.-ABL. in-leggings, or-1sg.-NOM. FUT.NEG.-touch-INCH.-1sg.FUT. thrust-ACC. 2sg.-GEN./

"I hope the arakh in your hand is sharper than the one in your pants, or I won't feel

the thrust!"

Notes: Suggesting that a man has an arákh ﬂech, a "dull arakh" (i.e. he's

ﬂaccid), is a serious insult. Combat is now unavoidable.

Ánha atihák qoy yéri asshékh, tokík!

[»an.ha a.ti.»hak qoj »je.Ri aS.»Sex to.»kik]

/1sg.-NOM. FUT.-see-1sg.FUT. blood-ACC. 2sg.-GEN. today-ACC. fool-NOM./

"I will see your blood today, fool!"

At this point, combat ensues. Below are some things that might be

said by either the spectators or the combatants themselves in the

midst of the combat. There likely won't be time for all of these, as

the combat will be short, but you can peruse them and pick and

choose what will be appropriate.

Addrivás máe!

[ad.dRi.»vas »ma.e]

/CAUS.-be.dead-COM.INFR. 3sg.-ACC./

"Kill him!"

Drozhás máe!

[dRo.»Zas »ma.e]

/kill-COM.INFR. 3sg.-ACC./

"Kill him!"

Atthasás máe!

[aT.Ta.»sas »ma.e]

/CAUS.-fall-COM.INFR. 3sg.-ACC./

"Kill him!" or "Lay him low!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 30

Notes: There are at least three different ways to say "kill" in Dothraki, so I

ﬁgured it'd be best to provide them all. And, of course, you can leave out the

máe and just have the crowd chant, "Kill!"

Yer vósi!

[jer »vo.si]

/2sg.-NOM. nothing-NOM./

"You're nothing!"

Átihaki gaól she sorfosór asshékh!

[»a.ti.ha.ki ga.»ol Se soR.fo.»sor aS.»Sex]

/FUT.-see-1pl.FUT. intestines-ACC. on ground-NOM. today-ACC./

"We're gonna see guts on the ground today!" or "We're gonna see his guts on the

ground today!"

Notes: Originally, this scene took place during the day (and it does so in the

book, as well), but in the revised script, the scene takes place at night. If this

change carries over to the actual production, the word for "tonight" is ajjalán,

which can (and should) replace asshékh above.

Lajás! Lajás!

[la.»dZas la.»dZas]

/ﬁght-COM.INFR.! ﬁght-COM.INFR.!/

"Fight! Fight!"

Virisserás máe!

[vi.Ris.se.»Ras »ma.e]

/DUR.cut-DUR.-COM.INFR. 3sg.-ACC./

"Eviscerate him!" or "Slice him up!"

Me hája!

[me »ha.dZa]

/3sg.-NOM. be.strong-3sg.PRES./

"He's strong!"

Ekh!

[ex]

/ekh/

"Argh!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 31

Notes: Likely said by one who is hit or wounded. I know that the second set

of lines is for the simpliﬁed Dothraki, but really, you need the voiceless velar

fricative to get the true sense of anguish. The kh should be pronounced.

Me zísa!

[me »zi.sa]

/3sg.-NOM. be.hurt-3sg.PRES./

"He's hurt!"

Akkovarás! Yer che mahrázh che rakh?!

[ak.ko.va.»Ras jer tSe mah.»RaZ tSe rax]

/CAUS.-be.standing-COM.INFR. 2sg.-NOM. or man-NOM. or boy-NOM./

"Stand up! Are you a man or a boy?!"

Qoy! Ánha tihák qoy!

[qoj »an.ha ti.»hak qoj]

/blood-NOM. 1sg.-NOM. see-1sg.PRES. blood-ACC./

"Blood! I see blood!"

Rissás jahakés!

[ris.»sas dZa.ha.»kes]

/cut-COM.INFR. braid-ACC./

"Cut his braid!" or "Cut his braid off!"

Notes: This is another way of saying, "Finish him!" After all, in a ﬁght like

this, to lose is death, and cutting off one's braid is losing.

Me arthás!

[me ar.»Tas]

/3sg.-NOM. fall-3sg.PST./

"He's fallen!"

Mahrázh vezhvén! Mahrázh vezhvén!

[mah.»RaZ veZ.»ven mah.»RaZ veZ.»ven]

/man-NOM. great-NOM.AGR.! man-NOM. great-NOM.AGR.!/

"A great man! A great man!"

Notes: Chanted after a one-on-one battle like this, or, in general, when a

crowd is cheering for a single man. Basically they're saying, "Now that's a real

man!" Notice that each word is disyllabic and stresses the second syllable. The

stress pattern lends itself easily to a chant (think of the traditional chant in

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 32

something like "Let's go Dodgers!", except with the stresses reversed [biggest

stress on "go" and "dgers"]. That's how this chant should sound).

Hazák mahrázh jil!

[ha.»zak mah.»RaZ dZil]

/that.one-NOM. man-NOM. real-NOM.AGR./

"Now that's a real man!"

Fichás áyene máe! Móri yéri ajjín!

[fi.»tSas »a.je.ne »ma.e »mo.Ri »je.Ri ad.»dZin]

/take-COM.INFR. bell-ACC.PL. 3sg.-GEN.! 3pl.-NOM. 2sg.-GEN.!/

"Take his bells! They're yours now!"

Hilés haz nayát!

[hi.»les haz na.»jat]

/dig.-COM.INFR. that girl-ACC./

"Fuck that girl!"

Me yéri!

[me »je.Ri]

/3sg.-NOM. 2sg.-GEN.!/

"She's yours!"

Notes: At this point, one of the combatants has won, and is claiming his

"prize".

This leads into the line that belongs to ILLYRIO in the 7/12 script

and JORAH in the revised script about a Dothraki wedding without

at least three deaths being a dull affair. After that, DROGO silences

the crowd, and the scene progresses.

GoT Scene 37: Conclusion

The end of Scene 37 includes all the gift-giving, both scripted and

unscripted, and concludes with DROGO and DAENERYS riding off

together at the end of the wedding. Throughout this section will be

translations of the scripted material (where applicable), and a

number of possible Dothraki snippets to be used in the background

at your discretion. First, I've provided some dialogue that might be

used by crowd members either during or immediately before or

after the gift giving.

"We must wait and be patient. We will see…"

Notes: All of the above may not really have a place in this scene, but it can

always be used as background ﬁller.

Back to the script, this is where DROGO raises his hand for silence.

Jádi.

[»dZa.di]

/come-COM.FOR./

"Come."

Dávra.

[»dav.Ra]

/good-NOM.AGR./

"Good."

Notes: The script seems to indicate that silence pervades this short procession,

but just in case KHAL DROGO wishes to give some verbal instruction to

DAENERYS, the above phrases should sufﬁce.

Once the gift giving begins, the book and the script differ in a few

important ways. In the book, the main characters (Illyrio, Viserys,

etc.) give their gifts; then the three bloodriders offer Daenerys the

three traditional Dothraki bride gifts, which she refuses; then the

various unnamed Dothraki give Daenerys what sounds like

thousands of gifts; ﬁnally, at the end, Khal Drogo gives her the

silver steed. In the script, it seems like the thousands of gifts from

nameless Dothraki come ﬁrst; the traditional gifts are skipped; then

the main characters give their gifts; then KHAL DROGO gives

DAENERYS the horse. In case there is a change, what I've done here

is the following: First comes dialogue for gifts by various Dothraki;

this ends with the three traditional gifts with the traditional

refusals; then come the main character gifts from the script; ﬁnally

it ends with the horse presentation.

Atthirár ánni atthiraraán sháfki, Khal vezhvén!

/life-NOM. 1sg.-GEN. life-ALL. 2sg.FOR.-GEN. khal-NOM. great-NOM.AGR./

"My life for your life, mighty Khal!"

Notes: This phrase, and all that follow (up until I specify otherwise), are

phrases that accompany the giving of some gift by an unnamed Dothraki. For

the giving of gifts (and whenever speaking to KHAL DROGO), the Dothraki use

the formal second person pronoun sháfka.

Athjahakár rhójosori athjahakaraán khálasari.

[aT.dZa.ha.»kar »Rho.dZo.so.Ri aT.dZa.ha.ka.Ra.»an »xa.la.sa.Ri]

/pride-NOM. family-GEN. pride-ALL. khalasar-GEN./

"The pride of my family for the pride of the khalasar."

Notes: Presumably this will accompany the giving of gifts made by a given

Dothraki's family. The word athjahakár, "pride", derives from the word

jahák, "braid": a Dothraki warrior's pride in battle. A note on rhójosor: As it's

the word for "family", it's thought of as inalienably possessed, even though

it's actually not. This is why there is no possessive pronoun following it. It can

go either way, though, so if one wants a longer phrase, just add ánni "my"

after rhójosori, "of the family".

/medallion-NOM. sun-GEN. moon-ALL. new-NNM.AGR. 2sg.FOR.-GEN./

"A medallion of the sun for your new moon, my Khal."

Notes: In Dothraki culture, the sun and moon are deities, and, according to

their mythology, they're husband and wife, respectively. This medallion

evidently has a picture of the sun on it, and when he says, "For your new

moon", it means, "For your new wife", metaphorically.

"A swift stallion for your swift arm, great warrior."

Notes: Qóra dik (literally "fast arm") is a ﬁxed expression that characterizes

the bearer of the swift arm as one who excels in battle, or with a spear in a

hunt. With all of these presentations, I've tried to give you options for how to

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 37

refer to KHAL DROGO (including not referring to him at all). The tag

expressions at the end are, of course, interchangeable.

Dan reavén tíhea réaveni, nísho ánni.

/gem-NOM. purple-NOM.AGR. eye-PL.ALL. purple-PL.AGR. master-NOM. 1sg.-GEN./

"Violet crystals for her violet eyes, my master."

Notes: Just in case the servants give gifts…? I'm guessing nísho ánni, "my

master", wouldn't really be appropriate for a Dothraki warrior, even if he is

speaking to his khal.

/arakh-NOM. sharp-NOM.AGR. son-ALL. sharp-NOM.AGR. ride-AGT.-NOM. great-NOM.AGR./

"A sharp arakh for a sharp son, great rider."

Notes: Here has "sharp" means "capable, effective" when applied to humans

(not "smart" as it does in English, but still complimentary). And, of course, it'd

be appropriate for people to give gifts to the not-yet-conceived son, since the

Dothraki believe that their rituals have sway over whether a new child will be

male or female.

"Painful death to your enemies, master hunter!"

Notes: All the above presentations have been directed to KHAL DROGO. It

would seem odd, to me, for the Dothraki to address themselves directly to

DAENERYS. Nevertheless, these are bride gifts, so the presenters below will

address DAENERYS.

Sháfkea, Kháleesi.

/needle-NOM.PL. thread-ALL. 2sg.FOR.-GEN., star-AGT.-NOM./

"Needles for your thread, Star Child."

Notes: This accompanies the giving of needles (mentioned in A Game of

Thrones on pg. 105). The word Shierakák is probably better translated as "one

from the stars". It seems like an appropriate coinage, given that DAENERYS

looks otherworldly to the Dothraki.

"The most beautiful feathers for the most beautiful Khaleesi, Moon Child."

Notes: This accompanies the giving of feathers (mentioned in A Game of

Child."

Rhaékh rháesea, Kháleesi.

"On account of your wedding, this gown I give you, Good Khaleesi."

Notes: This accompanies the giving of a gown made out of mouse hides

(mentioned in A Game of Thrones on pg. 105). This sentence showcases

Dothraki's variable word order and ﬂexibility (notice the object precedes the

subject, and the phrase háji kemmeyoón sháfki, "for your wedding" or "on

your wedding", comes ﬁrst, whereas it would ordinarily come after the verb

phrase.

Notes: This accompanies the giving of bottles of purple glass (mentioned in A

Any of the above can be used to accompany the gifts given by the

assembled Dothraki. Next come the three traditional gifts given by

KHAL DROGO's bloodriders: HAGGO, COHOLLO/KOHOLLO and

QOTHO.

Arákh rissát tolórro dózgosori.

[a.»Rax ris.»sat to.»lo.ro »doz.go.so.Ri]

/arakh-NOM. cut-INF. bone-ACC.PL. enemy-GEN.PL./

"An arakh to slice through the bones of the enemy."

Notes: This accompanies COHOLLO/KOHOLLO's gift of a leather whip to

DAENERYS (mentioned in A Game of Thrones on pg. 104). A note on the name:

In Martin's books, the name reads "Cohollo". In my respelling, the name

would be spelled Kohollo. For consistency, it should probably appear

everywhere as Kohollo, though to make sure there's no confusion, I'll refer to

him here with both names.

"A double-curved dragonbone bow to penetrate the chests of the enemy."

Notes: This accompanies QOTHO's gift of a double-curved dragonbone bow to

"This is a gift worthy of a great warrior, O blood of my blood, but I am a woman. Give

this to my husband and not to me."

Notes: This is the traditional Dothraki response DAENERYS gives to each

presenter after they've made their traditional presentation (this is on pg. 105

of A Game of Thrones). If you decide to use this in the pilot, I ﬁgure it can go

one of two ways: Either each bloodrider can make his presentation and

DAENERYS responds after each presentation with the above exactly as it

appears, or they can make all three presentations in a row, and DAENERYS

responds after they're ﬁnished. If the latter is done, change memé to memóri,

and the rest should take care of itself (only all the singular referents will be

plural in the English translation, i.e. this > these, etc. Since there are few

formal distinctions between the plural and singular in Dothraki, switching

between one and the other is fairly simple).

Below is some dialogue that may accompany VISERYS's gift (i.e.

IRRI, JHIQUI [or ZHIKWI] and DOREAH).

Kháleesi ánni.

[»xa.le.e.si »an.ni]

/khaleesi-NOM. 1sg.-GEN./

"My Khaleesi."

Notes: This is intended to be IRRI's introduction (said in a pause after VISERYS

introduces her by name, or said before VISERYS's speech).

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 42

Ánha nem allayafák laz ezzolát sháfkea, zhey Kháleesi.

/1sg.-NOM. PASS. CAUS.-be.happy-1sg.PRES. can teach-INF. 2sg.FOR.-ALL., VOC. khaleesi-NOM./

"It pleases me to be able to teach you, Khaleesi."

Notes: This is intended to be JHIQUI's introduction (said in a pause after

VISERYS introduces her by name, or said before VISERYS's speech). Before

going on, a quick note about this character's name. In my respelling system,

the name Jhiqui is spelled Zhikwi. I think this also helps the reader know

how the name is supposed to be pronounced. For the sake of consistency, the

name should probably appear as Zhikwi everywhere (even in the script), but

that probably isn't necessary. For the sake of transparency, I will refer to her

by both names. JHIQUI/ZHIKWI's supposed to teach DAENERYS Dothraki, so I

imagined that she would say something fancy in Dothraki to DAENERYS, and

then translate it for her (speaking both languages with a perfect accent). So in

the actual scene, then, ﬁrst she would say her Dothraki line, and then she'd

follow it up with the translation provided above.

Dávra. Jádi m'anhoón, Khaleéssiya.

[»dav.Ra »dZa.di man.ho.»on xa.le.»es.si.ja]

/good-NOM.AGR. come-COM.FOR. with-1sg.-ABL., handmaiden-NOM.PL./

"Good. Come with me, maids."

Notes: If a transition is needed, I imagined that ILLYRIO could say something

like the above to the three girls and then escort them elsewhere. Also, a quick

note, I provided no introduction for DOREAH, because she's not Dothraki, and

perhaps can't even speak the language. Plus, I think her role onscreen would

be more impressive if she says nothing (that old expression comes to mind:

Better to let them think one is stupid than to open one's mouth and remove all

doubt). Regarding the crowd reaction, they can murmur any of the bawdy

jokes already mentioned when DOREAH is introduced (though perhaps if

they're Dothraki, the idea of such a maidservant would be commonplace to

them, and they wouldn't feel the need to comment upon it).

SER JORAH next presents his gift. Since he and DAENERYS share a

language, they speak in Common. As an option, you might have

ILLYRIO act as an interpreter for DROGO. The actions themselves

are clear, of course, but he might be curious about what JORAH

says, and what speciﬁcally the books are about (after all, books are a

foreign thing to the Dothraki, who have no writing system for their

language).

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 43

Kíﬁnosi réki dávrae?

[»ki.fi.no.si »re.ki »dav.Ra.e]

/how that-NOM.PL. useful-3pl.PRES./

"How are those useful?"

Notes: The utilitarian Dothraki ﬁnd books strange, as they have no obvious

practical application. I imagine this would be said by either KHAL DROGO, or

perhaps someone in the audience (murmuring in the background).

"The knight has given the Khaleesi stories from the Seven Kingdoms in the Common

Tongue. It is a sentimental gift."

Notes: This is ILLYRIO's translation/explanation of SER JORAH's gift for

DAENERYS. The word ázzhori is a compound of ázho "gift" and zhor "heart",

and so is something like a "heart gift". DROGO may not understand what use

these books have, but he will understand the purpose of an ázzhori.

Athdavrazár, Khal! —> Athdávrozar, Kal!

/usefulness-NOM., khal-NOM.!/

"Goodness, Khal!"

Notes: This is another idea. It would seem odd to me for SER JORAH to give a

gift to DAENERYS and then say nothing to KHAL DROGO whatsoever. What

JORAH might do is attempt to say something in Dothraki to DROGO. This is

provided above. Of course, JORAH doesn't speak Dothraki, so what he

imagines means "good fortune to you", or the like, actually means

"wonderful" or "excellent," and makes no sense in this context. In addition, he

pronounces it poorly (using whatever English accent the actor has to

pronounce the words as if they were English words will be ﬁne), and I've

provided the poor pronunciation to the right of the correct pronunciation.

Despite the shortcomings of his performance, KHAL DROGO knows he means

well, and so accepts the gesture in the spirit with which it was intended.

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 44

ILLYRIO's present is next. It seems like he might be able to get away

with being rather ﬂippant in his remarks and behavior, and so

might never intend to say anything about his gift to DROGO.

Nevertheless, I've provided a translation of what he says to

DAENERYS for him to say to DROGO, if desired.

"They're dragon eggs from the Shadow Lands. Quite beautiful… Trinkets? They please

the Khaleesi, you can see. I got a good deal, no?"

Notes: This is less a translation of what ILLYRIO says to DAENERYS than a kind

of off-hand description for KHAL DROGO. As you might be able to tell by the

English translation, he's not putting as much effort into what he says as he's

done previously. Also he coins a word on the spot—tihókh—which has no

meaning in Dothraki. If one breaks it down, it means "an object that's seen".

It's an attempt to explain to DROGO just what the eggs might be useful for.

Clearly, they are valuable to DAENERYS, though, and that's all that's important

to ILLYRIO (plus the fact that they were expensive, which he lets DROGO

know).

Finally, KHAL DROGO is ready to give his gift to DAENERYS.

Es Khalaán!

[es xa.la.»an]

/go-COM.INFR. khal-ALL.!/

"Move for the Khal!" or "Make way for the Khal!"

Notes: This is something that might be said by audience members as KHAL

DROGO makes his way through the crowd. They might also just say Es!

"Move!"

Ash!

[aS]

/ahh!/

"Ahh…!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 45

Notes: An exclamation of surprise for when DROGO comes back with the

horse (again, background for the crowd). The vowel can be lengthened as the

actors see ﬁt.

Vízhadi vizhadaán nórethi sháfki.

[»vi.Za.di vi.Za.da.»an »no.Re.Ti »Saf.ki]

/silver-NOM. silver-ALL. hair-GEN. 2sg.form.-GEN./

"Silver for the silver of your hair."

Notes: Ordinarily you wouldn't need the pronoun shafki ("your"), as hair is

inalienably possessed. In this case, KHAL DROGO is being especially formal

and respectful on the occasion of his wedding. Note, though, that depending

on the exact context of DROGO's words, sháfki might be omitted. For example,

if DROGO is not actually addressing DAENERYS directly, but is instead

addressing ILLYRIO, he wouldn't say "Silver for the silver of your hair", but,

rather, "Silver for the silver of her hair", in which case omitting sháfki entirely

would be appropriate (and grammatically correct). I gather from the stage

direction that he is addressing DAENERYS directly, but just in case.

Eyop!

[e.»jop|]

/(no translation)!/

"Eyop!"

Notes: This is a non-linguistic vocalization that Dothraki speakers make when

lifting something heavy, or lifting something up off the ground. This is the

sound KHAL DROGO makes when he lifts DAENERYS off the ground and puts

her on the saddle of her new mount.

As DAENERYS rides off, there's likely to be some crowd reaction.

I've provided some ideas below.

Es Khaleesisaán!

[es xa.le.e.si.sa.»an]

"Move for the Khaleesi!" or "Make way for the Khaleesi!"

Notes: In addition to comments like this, there will probably be general

laughter (albeit light) as she at ﬁrst appears frightened atop the horse. Also,

recall that any of the epithets used in the gift-giving dialogue above for

DAENERYS can be used here (e.g. Flower Child, Star Child, the Silver One,

etc.).

from the crowd as they see DAENERYS really take to her mount.

Notes: This is how ILLYRIO translates what DAENERYS says to DROGO.

Notes: If DROGO says anything in response to ILLYRIO's translation, he might

say something like the above.

"Giddyup!"

"Hunt well, Khal!"

Notes: The phrase Fonás chek means simply "goodbye" in Dothraki, but the

literal meaning is likely being used as a pun here, given what DROGO is

leaving to do.

GoT Scene 39: DROGO and DAENERYS

After they ride for a bit, DROGO and DAENERYS stop at the grassy

spot beside the stream. There isn't much dialogue here, but there

are a few lines that are murmured softly by DROGO, and I've

provided those below.

Soróh!

[so.»Roh]

/halt!/

"Whoa!"

Notes: Said by DROGO to his horse when they reach the spot.

"My life for your life, my moon; my heart."

Notes: All of the above can be whispered by DROGO while he's caressing

DAENERYS during this scene. Quick note: "to call on the ﬁre" means to

welcome death (the ﬁre he's referring to is the traditional Dothraki funeral

pyre). As mentioned previously, dialogue like this takes very little effort to

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 49

generate, and can be translated fairly quickly. If anything needs to be added

or changed, I can do it on short notice.

No.

[n5ç]

/no./

"No."

Notes: Obviously this is English, but I've put this here so you can listen to

how a Dothraki speaker would pronounce this word. I've provided a narrow

transcription above, but the recording will probably prove more instructive.

Again, to produce the sound, ﬁrst the "n" must be pronounced with the tip of

the tongue in between the teeth (just like for the "th" sound), and the "o" is

more open and shorter. It's not unlike the Spanish pronunciation of "no", but

with a laxer vowel (Dothraki favors vowels that are less precise in their

coloring than a language like Spanish).

Sek.

[sek]

/yes./

"Yes."

Notes: Okay, as a potential viewer, I'm really on the fence about this one, but I

thought I'd give you the option to mull over. At the end of this scene, after a

series of "No"'s by DROGO, DAENERYS turns things around and ends with a

"Yes". This got me to thinking. Sure, the "Yes" is in Common (in our case,

English), but since DROGO is going out of his way to speak Common to

DAENERYS, what if DAENERYS ends the exchange by going out of her way to

say "Yes" in Dothraki? I think it'd be pretty cool! This would help to show that

not only has she been paying attention (she's picked up a word or two during

the course of the day), but that she has now truly accepted her role as the wife

of DROGO, as Khaleesi, and as a Dothraki queen.

Dialogue (Jan. 18, 2010)

1. Jádi kíhatiﬁ, zhey Jórah Andáhl!

"Come forward, Jorah the Andahl!"

2. Jádi kíhatiﬁ, zhey Jórah Andáhli!

"Come forward, Jorah of the Andahls!"

3. Jádi kíhatiﬁ, Jórah Andáhli!

"Come forward, Jorah of the Andahls!"

4. Jádi, zhey Jórah Andáhli!

5. Rháe kíhatiﬁ, zhey Jórah Andáhli!

6. Kóvari hatíf ánni, zhey Jórah Andáhli!

"Stand before me, Jorah of the Andahls!"

7. Némo ásshili, zhey Jórah Andáhli!

"Present yourself, Jorah of the Andahls!"

Notes: Certain of these are very similar; I just wanted to give you some options. The

ﬁrst three, for example, are identical, save the ﬁrst two use the particle zhey which

typically precedes names (though this is optional), and the second two replace Andáhl

with Andáhli. It's the difference between saying "Jorah the Andahl" and "Jorah of the

Andahls". You asked for the ﬁrst, but I thought I'd include the second, as a word ending

in hl might be difﬁcult on the actors.

In all of the above, these elements can be freely substituted for one another as speciﬁed

(e.g. Andáhl for Andáhli), with the accompanying changes in translations (none for the

omission of zhey). I did want to point out something about item 4. The word jádi is

indeed the same as in 1-3, but the translation is actually "approach" in 4, and "come" in

1-3. The lexemes actually differ, but their forms for a formal command are,

coincidentally, identical.

want his line to be.

Jhogo ask if you want him dead, khaleesi.

I've provided a recording of a Dothraki accented version of this English line.

He makes a joke to one of his friends and both men laugh, staring down at Viserys, on his knees,

ﬁngers digging into the leather coils, trying to save himself from being strangled.

Here are some options for Zhogo's joke. If you think of some variation you'd like that I

haven't provided, you can always send me the English version and I can translate it,

record and send it to you.

"You should take his ear. That will convince him to be respectful." (Lit. "You should

take the ear. That will convince him that he will be respectful.")

Note: Here, the word for "to convince" derives from the word for "ear",

whence the joke.

teach him respect!")

K'áthjalari!

[ˈkaθ.dʒa.la.ɾi]

/right/

"Indeed!"

Note: If any of the surrounding Dothraki want to give a response, this

would be appropriate. It means "indeed" or "truly" or "just so". Zhey Zhógo

can be appended to the end if the speaker is addressing Zhogo directly.

Jhogo say you should take ear, to teach respect.

I've provided a recording of a Dothraki accented version of this English line.

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 57

Irri repeats the command in Dothraki.

This is Irri's translation of Dany's line.

Kháleesi vos zálo me Viserís nem ázisa.

[ˈxa.le.e.si vos ˈza.lo me vi.se.ˈɾis nem ˈa.zi.sa]

/khaleesi-NOM NEG want-3SG.NEG.PRES COMP Viserys PASS FUT-hurt-3SG/

"The Khaleesi doesn't want Viserys harmed." (Lit. "The Khaleesi doesn't want that

Viserys will be harmed.")

Should have been vázzisa (zisat is intransitive).

Note: Rather than have a bunch of duplicate sentences, here are some

options for how Viserys can be referred to in the line above. You can replace

the phrase me Viserís with any one of the following:

• memé ("him").

• me gáezo máe ("her brother").

• me sorfák ("the dirty one").

• me zasqák ("the pale one").

• me chiftivenák ("the noisy one").

• me chiftík ("the cricket man").

• me jelavenák ("the sour one").

• me rakhák ("the boy man").

• me sindarinák ("the weak one").

• me kháli ("the little khal").

• me khalákka ("the prince").

• me khalákka nháresi íthka ("the straw head prince").

Jhogo shrugs, pulling on his whip, yanking Viserys like a puppet on a string.

Just in case you want Zhogo to say something here, I thought he might refer to Viserys

derisively by the name Irri uses to refer to him in the line above. Say, something like:

Hnh! Chiftík!

[hʔnh tʃif.ˈtik]

/grunt cricket-AGT/

"Huh! Cricket man!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 58

Zhogo: You walk

I've provided a recording of a heavily Dothraki accented version of this English line.

Jhogo rides off with Viserys’ horse toward the Dothraki horde, visible on the distant horizon,

leaving Viserys standing alone in the tall grass.

Here are some phrases that can be used by the Dothraki riders to urge their horses on.

Es! Es! Es!

[es es es]

/yah yah yah/

"Yah! Yah! Yah!"

Hosh!

[hoʃ]

/giddyup/

"Giddyup!"

Hósha, hósha, hosh!

[ˈho.ʃa ˈho.ʃa hoʃ]

/giddyup giddyup giddup/

"Hyup, hyup, giddyup!"

Nch-nch!

[ŋǁ ŋǁ]

/EXH. EXH./

"Nch, nch!"

Dany speaks to Drogo in halting Dothraki.

Here's Dany's short exchange with Drogo.

DANY: Me…rakh.

[me rax]

/3SG boy-NOM/

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 59

"It's a boy."

Note: There's not much of a way for Dany to screw up the grammar of this

bit: It's just the two words. In the sound ﬁle, though, I have her pronouncing

it incorrectly (pretty much like "May rock" in English).

DROGO: Kíﬁnosi yer nési?

[ˈki.ﬁ.no.si jer ˈne.si]

/how 2SG know-2SG.PRES/

"How do you know?"

Note: If you want to, you can add zhey chiorikém to the end of the above,

which would be "woman-wife".

DANY: Ánha…sékke nésa.

[ˈan.ha ˈsek.ke ˈne.sa]

/1SG really know-3SG.PRES/

"I…just know." (Lit. "I…really knows.")

Note: The above is more ungrammatical. The third person singular present

tense form of the verb is the most common form of the verb, and seems as if

it would be most readily available to Dany.

I've read through both scenes, selecting one option for each Dothraki part. You can

hear it by listening to the .mp3 entitled "summaries.mp3".

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 60

Alternate Take: Dany Orders Viserys to Walk

I noticed that the script, as written, changes an element from the book, wherein Dany

orders Viserys's horse to be taken. In the book, Dany deciding not to take Viserys's ear is likely to

be seen as a sign of weakness by the Dothraki. Dany ordering that his horse be taken raises her

quite a bit in the esteem of the Dothraki, and also eschews any hint of weakness on her part. It's a

slight detail, but potentially important. I've provided a very slightly edited version of the scene

in the script below which retains the content of the original. New elements are in bold. Dothraki

translations are provided below the script text.

The exile knight looks between Dany and Viserys. Both wait to

see what he’ll do.

Jhogo doesn’t speak the common tongue, but he knows enough to

realize a fight might be coming. His fingers tighten around the

hilt of his arakh.

After a final long look at Viserys, Jorah turns to Dany.

JORAH

Shall we return to the khalasar,

Khaleesi?

Dany nods, and moves to mount her silver. Once mounted, she

turns to face Jhogo.

DANY

(Dothraki)

Take his horse.

Jhogo laughs derisively.

JHOGO

(Dothraki)

By your word.

Viserys sits in the dirt and stares with disbelief as Dany and

Jorah ride away.

He rises and moves toward his own horse-- but Jhogo trots in and

cuts him off. He grabs the reins of Viserys’ horse and looks

down on him with stony contempt.

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 61

JHOGO

(heavy accent)

You walk.

Qóraso…hrazéf.

[ˈqo.ɾa.so hɾa.ˈzef]

/claim-COMM.FRM horse-ACC/

"Take…the horse."

Note: The above is actually ungrammatical. What she's doing is simply

repeating what Zhogo says earlier, replacing "ear" with "horse". She's trying,

though. If instead Irri were to repeat the command for Dany, who is

speaking in English, she would say the following:

Qóraso sajoés máe.

[ˈqo.ɾa.so sa.dʒo.ˈes ˈma.e]

/claim-COMM.FRM mount-ACC 3SG.GEN/

"Take his steed."

K'ási sháfki.

[ˈka.si ˈʃaf.ki]

/by-word-GEN 2SG.FRM.GEN/

"By your word."

Note: Per usual, zhey Kháleesi can be appended to the end.

appropriate. If, however, he is talking to Jorah (this is important), change

sháfka to yer, and change sháfki to yéri. Just in case, I've recorded that line

too. (new3_10.mp3)

Notes: If any.

Episode 6, Scene 11

The start of the scene with the high priestess and the rest.

Khalákka dóthrae! (611_1.mp3)

[xa.ˈlak.ka ˈdo.θɾa.e]

/prince-NOM ride-3SG.PRES/

"The prince rides!"

The Dosh Khaleen say the following, which the crowd later chants.

Rakh! Rakh! Rakh haj! (611_2.mp3)

[rax rax rax hadʒ]

/boy-NOM boy-NOM boy-NOM strong-NOM.AGR/

"A boy! A boy! A strong boy!"

At this point, Viserys and Jorah have their talk and there's some action before the crowd

starts chanting. If you'd like to insert some background Dothraki comments from the

crowd and/or Drogo, here are a few suggestions:

Hash me laz ta máe? (611_3.mp3)

[haʃ me laz ta ˈma.e]

/Q 3SG.NOM can do-3SG.PRES 3SG.ACC/

"Can she do it?"

[me ˈa.zi.qwe.he.e ˈan.ha laz ti.ˈhak ˈma.e]

/3SG.NOM FUT-retch-3SG 1SG.NOM can see-1SG.PRES 3SG.ACC/

"She's going to retch! I can see it!"

Kháleesi hája! Me laz ta máe! (611_5.mp3)

[ˈxa.le.e.si ˈha.dʒa me laz ta ˈma.e]

/khaleesi-NOM be.strong-3SG.PRES 3SG.NOM can do-3SG.PRES 3SG.ACC/

"The Khaleesi is strong! She can do it!"

Es! Es! (611_6.mp3)

[es es]

/go-CMD.INF go-CMD.INF/

"Go! Go!"

Tas máe! Tas máe! (611_7.mp3)

[tas ˈma.e tas ˈma.e]

/do-CMD.INF 3SG.ACC do-CMD.INF 3SG.ACC/

"Do it! Do it!"

Now the crowd starts chanting:

Rakh! Rakh! Rakh haj! (611_8.mp3)

[rax rax rax hadʒ]

/boy-NOM boy-NOM boy-NOM strong-NOM.AGR/

"A boy! A boy! A strong boy!"

Next, comes the High Priestess's speech. I've translated the entire dialogue from the

book (leaving off the Priestess's question about what the baby will be called, since it

seems the scene has changed here), and added a bit more. I assume what you have here

is Jorah giving just the highlights. This dialogue can be given to the actress playing the

High Priestess to ululate; should be plenty there for the entire scene.

"The prince is riding! I have seen his face, and heard the thunder of his hooves! As

swift as the wind he rides, and behind him the khalasar covers the earth—men

without number, with arakhs shining in their hands like blades of razor grass. Fierce

as a storm this prince will be. His enemies will tremble before him, and their wives

will weep tears of blood and rend their ﬂesh in grief. The bells in his hair will sing

his coming, and the milk men in the stone tents will fear his name. The prince is

riding, and he will be the Stallion who Mounts the World!"

Next the Dosh Khaleen chant "The Stallion who Mounts the World!" I've recorded that

(shown below) with some ideas about how to chant it.

Vezh fíni Sája Rhaesheserés! (611_10.mp3)

[vezh ˈﬁ.ni ˈsa.dʒa ɾha.e.ʃe.se.ˈɾes]

/stallion-NOM that mount-3SG.PRES world-ACC/

Next comes Dany's line regarding her new child.

/prince-NOM ride-3SG.PRES in-1SG.NOM and 3SG.NOM PASS FUT-name-3SG with Rhaego-NOM/

"A prince rides inside me! And he shall be named Rhaego!"

The Dosh Khaleen (and then the crowd) now chant "Rhaego! Rhaego! Rhaego!" I've

recorded that. (611_12.mp3)

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 70

When Drogo goes to Dany he says, "Khaleesi, khaleesi!" Here are a couple of other

things he might say (in addition to what's written).

Kháleesi! Kháleesi! (d1.mp3)

[ˈxa.le.e.si ˈxa.le.e.si]

/khaleesi-NOM khaleesi-NOM/

"Khaleesi! Khaleesi!"

"Moon of my life!"

[ˈma.i ri.ʒa.ˈan an.ho.ˈon]

/mother-NOM son-ALL 1SG.ABL/

"Mother of my son!"

Lósho élaini! (d4.mp3)

[ˈlo.ʃo ˈe.la.i.ni]

/container-NOM seed-GEN/

"Container of my seed!" (I.e. "Receptacle of my sperm!")

Note: That last one seems a little crude even for the Dothraki, given the

circumstances, but I couldn't resist. Let it not be said that I'm not having

fun!

In addition to Drogo's words, which will probably be subtitled, here are some things the

Dothraki observers could say as they surround the Khaleesi (in addition to chanting

"Khaleesi!" or "Rhaego!" or "The Stallion who Mounts the World!", which are given

above).

Atthirár neák khalakkasaán! (611_13.mp3)

[aθ.θi.ˈɾar ne.ˈak xa.lak.ka.sa.ˈan]

/life-NOM long-NOM.AGR prince-ALL/

"Courage and glory!"

"Excellent!"

Episode 6, Scene 24

At the opening of the scene Drogo is joking with his bloodriders. Here are some

possible jokes.

Rizh ánni: Vezh fíni Sája Rhaesheserés—ma dalén chioriés ákka! (d5.mp3)

[riʒ ˈan.ni veʒ ˈﬁ.ni ˈsa.dʒa ɾha.e.ʃe.se.ˈɾes ma da.ˈlen tʃi.o.ɾi.ˈes ˈak.ka]

"Did you see the khaleesi? She showed that heart no mercy!"

/this-NOM day-NOM day-GEN.PL and son-NOM 1SG.GEN khal-NOM khal-GEN.PL give-CMD 1SG.ALL meat-

"This is day of days, and my son is the Khal of Khals! Give me meat!"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 72

Hash yer char hakeés? Rháego! Rháego Rhaék! (d8.mp3)

[haʃ jer tʃar ha.ke.ˈes ˈɾha.e.go ˈɾha.e.go ɾha.ˈek]

/Q 2SG.NOM hear-PAST name-ACC Rhaego-NOM Rhaego-NOM stud-NOM/

"Did you hear the name? Rhaego! Rhaego the Stud!"

Note: Daenerys names her son after Rhaegar, but in Dothraki, it sounds like

it's derived from the word rhae, which means "foot" or "leg". Rhaek, derived

from that stem, is a word that one uses to mean something like "jock" or

"stud". Of course, there are no sports in Dothraki culture, so it doesn't mean

what it means in English, but it has the same connotation. The phrase

Rhaego Rhaek, then, would be the equivalent of something like "Brock the

Jock" or "Hank the Tank" in English.

In addition, there may be a need for various Dothraki dialogue by those in attendance.

Here are some things that might be said/heard.

Fichás hadaén! (624_1.mp3)

"Is the meat ready yet?"

Master Dialogue Document for Dothraki—David J. Peterson 74

Note: All of the above are random snippets of conversation that might be

heard. If you'd like something speciﬁc, just let me know.

At this point, Viserys comes in with his sword in its scabbard. He hasn't drawn it yet,

but the Dothraki, of course, are already upset by this. Here are some curses for them to

utter (not as virulent as when he draws his sword later).

Tihás jin ifakés! (624_13.mp3)

[ti.ˈhas dʒin i.fa.ˈkes]

/look-CMD this walker-ACC/

"Look at this walker!"

Note: The term ifak, "walker", is kind of like "gringo" or "foreigner" or "pale

skin"—something used by the Dothraki to refer to non-Dothraki they don't

like.

Aresák! (624_19.mp3)

[a.ɾe.ˈsak]

/coward-NOM/

"Coward!"

After Viserys's impertinence, Drogo makes a joke to his bloodriders about Viserys. This

is that joke.

Tihás! Khal Rhaggát: Me ífa! Rháesi zin vos mhári, aá…?

[ti.ˈhas xal ɾhag.ˈgat me ˈi.fa ˈɾha.e.si zin vos ˈmha.ɾi a.ˈa]

/look-CMD khal-NOM cart-NOM 3SG.NOM walk-3SG.PRES feet-NOM.PL still NEG sore-3PL.NEG.PRES eh/

"Look! The Cart King: He walks! His feet aren't sore anymore, eh…?"

[ti.ˈhas xal ˈɾha.e mhar me ˈi.fa]

/look-CMD khal-NOM foot-NOM sore-NOM.AGR 3SG.NOM walk-3SG.PRES/

"Look! The Sorefoot King! He walks!"

Viserys hears Drogo, addresses him, and Drogo tells Viserys where he can sit during the

feast.

Névakhi vékha ha maán: Rékke, m'áresakea nórethi fítte. (d10.mp3)

[ˈne.va.xi ˈve.xa ha ma.ˈan ˈrek.ke ˈma.ɾe.sa.ke.a ˈno.ɾe.θi ˈﬁt.te]

/seat-GEN exist-3SG.PRES for 3SG.ALL there-ACC with-coward-ALL.PL hair-GEN short/

"There is a place for you: There, with the short haired cowards."

Next I have recorded the English that Drogo speaks to Viserys. Unless you feel it's too

short, I would recommend the line be "You no king", rather than "You are no king" (in

keeping with Drogo's level of English). (d11.mp3)

At this point, Viserys draws his sword. Below are some more virulent insults for the

Dothraki (bearing in mind that they themselves are not going to draw arakhs, or

anything like that, giving the proscription about steel in Vaes Dothrak).

Note: Rather than repeating the same phrase over and over again, here are

Dothraki people"; vittéy "the feast"; Rhaegoés "Rhaego"; Vezhés fíni Sája

Rhaesheserés "the Stallion who Mounts the World".

After the general outrage, and a few comments, Irri translates for Drogo what Viserys

says. This is her translation to Drogo.

Note: That last one seems a little crude even for the Dothraki, given the

circumstances, but I couldn't resist. Let it not be said that I'm not having

fun!

Episode 6, Scene 24

At the opening of the scene Drogo is joking with his bloodriders. Here are some

possible jokes.

/Q 2SG.NOM hear-PAST name-ACC Rhaego-NOM Rhaego-NOM stud-NOM/

"Did you hear the name? Rhaego! Rhaego the Stud!"

Note: Daenerys names her son after Rhaegar, but in Dothraki, it sounds like

it's derived from the word rhae, which means "foot" or "leg". Rhaek, derived

from that stem, is a word that one uses to mean something like "jock" or

"stud". Of course, there are no sports in Dothraki culture, so it doesn't mean

what it means in English, but it has the same connotation. The phrase

Rhaego Rhaek, then, would be the equivalent of something like "Brock the

Jock" or "Hank the Tank" in English.

Episode 6, Scene 24

Later on, Drogo makes a joke to his bloodriders about Viserys. This is that joke.

Tihás! Khal Rhaggát: Me ífa! Rháesi zin vos mhári, aa…?

Drogo tells Viserys where he can sit during the feast.

"There is a place for him: There, with the short haired cowards."

Note: This is Drogo speaking to Irri to relay to Viserys. If you want him to

speak to Viserys directly, replace ha maán with ha yeraán.

Episode 6, Scene 24

I have recorded the English that Drogo speaks to Viserys. Unless you feel it's too short, I

would recommend the line be "You no king", rather than "You are no king" (in keeping

with Drogo's level of English. If you want him to be more ﬂuent at this point, "You are

no king" is ﬁne). (d11.mp3)

apologies to Jason for the word for "crown".)

Episode 7, Scene 21B

Dany approaches Drogo, his bloodriders and Jorah. As she approaches, Drogo and

Jorah are talking. This is likely to be just beyond her earshot, but here is some dialogue

for Drogo to speak to Jorah while Dany is approaching.

"And so you tell me this: That this merchant, this…coward from the lands across the

Note: I made this intentionally wordy so that Jason could start saying it,

Dany could walk in, and it could be broken off. I can make it longer—or add

some dialogue for Jorah—if necessary.

Now we'll jump to later in the scene after Dany has arrived. She inquires about the lion,

and Drogo replies below. Their conversation continues thereafter.

Note: I'll note here that Drogo can pronounce Bhárbosi with either b's or v's

(i.e. as Vhárvosi). Having just recorded this, I can tell you it is a mouthful. I

recommend attacking it in chunks. The ﬁrst two sentences will require a bit

of practice. The third and fourth sentences aren't too bad, and seem to read

rather easily, and the very last sentence just requires a little work. It's those

ﬁrst two that require the most work.

Next come the wine merchant's lines. First will be his initial spiel, then his words to

Dany.

"A taste for the Khaleesi? I have a sweet red from Dorne, kind one. One taste and

you will name your child after me."

Then there is some conversation in Common. This goes on to the point where Jorah

instructs Aggo to put down the cask of poison wine. Jorah's line is below.

Ággo: Ázzohi haz khógare. (77_14.mp3)

A short scene between Dany and Irri. Below is the scene in chronological order.

Kháleesi? (721A_1.mp3)

"Khaleesi, no! Your hands!"

egg in the ﬁre. If this is too long, Vos! works ﬁne.

Episode 7, Scene 21B

Dany approaches Drogo, his bloodriders and Jorah. As she approaches, Drogo and

Jorah are talking. This is likely to be just beyond her earshot, but here is some dialogue

for Drogo to speak to Jorah while Dany is approaching.

Note: I made this intentionally wordy so that Jason could start saying it,

Dany could walk in, and it could be broken off. I can make it longer—or add

some dialogue for Jorah—if necessary.

Dany arrives and sees the lion.
