M'ath, zhey eyak.

Not too long before the time of writing of this post, I ran into a channel on YouTube, Dothraki001, that supposedly does Dothraki tutorials. In my opinion, it could rise to the top with some effort. The people in the channel's videos tend to mispronounce words, pronouncing them as if they were English words. There is also a lack of grammar topics, which I believe is crucial to learning and using a language.

I'd like to see what everyone's thoughts are on this channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Dothraki001

Dothras chek.

General Discussion / Os Gangnam (Dothraki Gangnam Style)
« on: December 03, 2012, 07:41:12 pm »
I translated "Gangnam Style" into Dothraki. I do not understand Korean, so I used an English translation of the lyrics.
Just to warn you, this is not an exact translation; some words are not in the dictionary.
Someone please check this for grammatical errors:
Nayat fini afazhie ma vos ivezho kash asshekh
Nayat fini shila kifinosi indelat koffi
Nayat fin afazhoe zhor kash ajjalan
Nayat fin me

Anha mahrazh fin afazhie ven yer kash asshekh
Anha mahrazh fin indee koffi hatif meme fishoe
Anha mahrazh fini samvoe zhor kash ajjalan

[Chorus]
Yer zheanae ma laz nem zhili
Sek yer, zhey yer
Elates kash athnakar
Os Gangnam!
Zhey nayat mezahhe!

Nayat fini ish chaki vosma lajie kash me lajie
Nayat fini jahak esina mra qora kash me jila
Nayat fini nemo qemmoe vosma amezahhen nayatoon fini eqemmolat khado
Nayat ven me

Anha mahrazh fin chaki vosma lajie kash me lajie
Anha mahrazh fin yofie kash me jila
Anha mahrazh fin dirge vezhvena mra qora, vo khado

[Chorus]

Mahrazh ovethay oleth mahrazhi lanay.

Hello everyone,
I am sunquan8094. I make and upload the Dothraki lessons on YouTube along with lessons for other constructed languages. I made an account here because of a suggestion from someone in the IRC chatroom. If you have any suggestions on what I should teach on YouTube, or just want to practice speaking Dothraki with me, feel free to contact me. I also have a channel Facebook page if you would like to stay updated. Thanks!
