Hi! Could you please check the lullaby I wrote?

Zaldrīzesse ēdrusi.
Bantis zōbrie issa.
Qēlossi albie issi.
Se ñāqes tolmiot issa.

Dōna ēdruryssi
Ñuhor raqnon
Jaehosi ao amīsagi
Sīrgo ao kiragon.

Ñuhyz rūs sir ēdrus
Hae zaldrīzesse ēdrusi.
Drūr kostā sōvegon
Iemnȳ kasta rōvor jēdar.

The dragons all have their English and HV spelling but the names are all their own words (except the newer ones) but where are the names from and what do they mean?

Very little exposure to High Valyrian at the moment and not sure if I have the capacity to learn it completely but I'm interested in learning how to translate short phrases. Not only from Latin, but since High Valyrian seems to occupy a similar societal niche (if not completely identical or analogous) this is something I am particularly interested in. Some ideas I have already (feel free to correct errors) which I might keep adding to via edits.

et cetera (etc./&c.): se ilzilla (abbrev. se il.)

As opposed to cetera which means "other things", ilzilla has more negative connotations, referring to "irrelevant matters" (while "matters" and "things" are also not exactly the same thing) . However I could easily see this kind of phrase slowly experiencing semantic drift to become something similar to etc. in Latin/English.

mutatis mutandis: arlinta arlinilare (or arlinta arliñilare)

Active as opposed to passive, so I think the Valyrian version would be more accurately translated as "I will have changed the things that I must change".

videlicet (viet., vi&. viz.): urnēs (abbrev. ur.)

"Urnēs" only refers to "see" in the second person imperative, although active so something like "[you] see this"; not sure if I should be using syt here (would it mean "for you to see this"). It seems that the word for "permit" in HV is often left out so I did not include a licet equivalent.

Are these well-formed and do they mean what I want them to?

It happens with kepi and kepī, ābri and ābrī, vali and valī etc

He says something to Rhaena at the mouth of the cave, no subtitles, “Embrae ke mi terrif”??
I’ve listened to it several times but I can’t make it out all the way.

Anyone have any idea what he said to her? It was in response to Rhaena asking “Does she suffer?” - asking after Rhaenyra’s response to losing Jace.

Hi all! Looking for Duolingo friends also studying High Valyrian please add me ☺️🙏 Here’s my profile – let’s be friends

Hi everyone,

I’m starting High Valyrian from zero and I’m currently using Duolingo.

The problem is that Duolingo doesn’t really explain the grammar, so it can be a bit difficult to understand what’s going on without extra explanations.

Should I use the Wiki material lesson by lesson alongside Duolingo? For example, should I read the related “tips and notes” for each Duolingo unit while I’m doing that unit?

I’m trying to understand if that’s the best way to study, or if I should first go through Duolingo and then study the grammar separately later.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’d like to start learning High Valyrian from zero, but I’m not sure where to begin.

I know Duolingo exists, but I’d like to know if there is a more structured learning path or study program I can follow. I’m especially looking for materials to study grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and sentence structure more seriously.

Are there any recommended resources, websites, books, PDFs, courses, Discord servers, or study guides for beginners?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm trying to learn some sentences in High Vayrian and there is some in particular that I need to know.

/!\ Spoilers for season 3 episode 1 of House Of The Dragon /!\

In the battle of the Gullet, when Jace wants to help Baela and Moondancer from Sheepstealer's attack, he says "kill the rider, Vermax" and when he see it's Rhaena, he says "daor, Vermax!" and ask him to fly away.

Also, when Rhaena tries to claim Sheepstealer, she sings a song. Is there any way someone knows it?

These are the expression I would like to know in Valyrian. I know I'm asking a lot but.. please if any of you know to say these, I would be thankfull if you could let me know them. Thank you!

Does anyone have the link to the discord server “the languages of ice and fire” apparently its dedicated to high valyrian and id like to join it to talk to others!

please can some one help with "thief" or "thieves" and "country" please. to make prhace like "And so I will see my country die at the hands of liars and thieves"

Rytsas! I'm working on a writing project, and have come across an obstacle when it comes to translating to Valyrian. In English, auxiliary words are used to modify other verbs in a sentence, such as "could," "must," and "would." For the translation I want, I want to say "she must have ___" in a speculative/deductive context. Would the verb "bēvilagon" be used for this, and if so, how would it be conjugated? Or would it have a different word? There is no word for "probably" on the wiki that I could see, or I would have used it. I'd appreciate help from someone more knowledgeable than me!

Thank you for any advice you can offer. 🙂‍↕️

Today I tried to open the High Valirian wiki and the website doesn't seem to load. Nor from my country, nor with vpn (multiple countries). Other website load perfectly, so it's not a connection issue.

Have you experienced the same? If so, are there any solutions?

Hey, where i can find a High Valyrian course?

I am currently desiging my newest fantasy blade, id like to put an inscription on both sides but i am not sure how to write the words in high valyrian. Could some one here show me what it would look like if you write Valar morghulis and Valar dohaeris in high valyrian?

Is the H supposed to be silent? I have seen some people claiming that it should be pronounced as Va-ha-gar rather than va-gar

English is not my first language so its difficult to do these translations. I used different translators but I receive different answers. Can someone help me which is correct? I want to say “I want to talk.” But it seems there isn’t a word for want?

- “nyke vestri toli”

- “Jaelan naejot ȳdragon” ???

what would the translation be
