The Dothraki and Valyrian forums has been receiving an unprecedented level of spam as of late. I am doing my best to stay on top of it (in my experience, these go away in time). If you catch a suspicious post that I missed, mark it as spam, or PM me about it - Hrakkar

i forgot where i saw this but it reads :

"Sopagon. Thirat Atthiraride"

i think its dothraki?

anyway, does anyone know what it means?

Sōpagon is an uninflected High Valyrian word for to laugh. Thirat atthiraride is an uninflected Dothraki expression for to dream (more literally "to live a false life"). We might suspect that this isn't very serious attempt at creating text. That being said, given the Dothraki zero-copula syntaxes, the sentence
Sōpagon thirat atthiraride.
could be taken as a person telling in Dothraki what sōpagon means. If we replace Valyrian with Latin and Dothraki with English, we get
'Rirendi' is 'to dream'.
Viewing laughing as a delusional and foreign thing to do cuts close to home, considering GRRM's world.
Game of Thrones is not The Song of Ice and Fire, sweetling. You'll learn that one day to your sorrow.
