Beginners / Re: Vo or vos?

Ah good.
Firstly I thought about consonant/vowel case too, but like you said "vo" there is in both cases, so I discard it immediately, but if the "vo" ahead of a vowel could be considered a mistake, so...it makes sense

By the way, it's:

if the word that follow the negation starts with a consonant, it could be used "vo" instead of "vos" to help the pronunciation but it's optional, while it would be an error to use "vo" ahead of a vowel.

Right?

Beginners / Vo or vos?

« on: June 08, 2011, 02:20:06 pm »

While I was reading the episodes scripts, I saw:

"Rakharo: Vo mawizzi vekho jinne -There are no rabbits. "
"Rakharo: Dothraki vo ondeo shori tawakof. - Dothraki don't wear steel dresses. "
"Rakharo: Hash yer ray tih loy alegra zhey vikeesi? Vo mawizzi, vo alegri."
"Drogo: Vo sorfo. Rhaeshi. - Not dirt. Lands"

and some more

But in the dictionnary I found only "vos" as "not".

Why in some sentences there is "vo" and in others "vos" ?
I was wondering it was for the future tense, but that's not true 

I didn't find anything in the wiki, but I don't know if I missed that or if there isn't nothing at all.

Thank you so much! Now I check what kind of disaster I created transcribing a part of a speech XD

Hi there!
I'm Christian, I'm Italian and though I've not read Martin's books yet, I'm in love with Dothraki's language
I'm very fascinated by conlang also if I've only studied the LOTR Sindarin some years ago and nothing more (and I don't actually remember almost anything! XD).

Sorry in advance for any grammar mistake I could do but I'm quite rusty in written English, 'cause I don't write/speak it so often. I listen to it much more because of tv series and movies. So I will try here to kill two pigeons with a stone..learn Dothraki and dust off a bit my English 

I've to admit I've been studying Dothraki for some weeks, with all the thing on this site, before writing here and now I'm updating myself with the last things added
The last episode of GoF has been fantastic, with the great Dothraki (spoken) part!

But..is there somewhere the Dothraki speeches transcriptions? 
I got something listening to them, but I'm so far from understand all perfectly  XDDD

BTW, you've done a great work with this site!
