Beginners / 'ȳdragon' - 'to speak'
« on: June 24, 2014, 05:56:17 pm »
Hi!
I'm slightly confused:
1. According to wikipedia http://wiki.dothraki.org/High_Valyrian_Vocabulary#Y
'Quptenkos Ēngoso ȳdrassis?' stands for 'Do you speak the Common tongue?'.
So I found out "ȳdrassis" is the Aorist form, 3rd person singular of ȳdragon. But WHY?
'Do you speak..' would be 'ȳdrā', wouldn't it?
2. Another one with 'ȳdragon', according to http://www.dothraki.com/2013/04/sesir-urnebion-zȳhon-keliton-issa/ would be:
'Ydra ji Valyre?' - 'You speak Valyrian?'
What does "ji" stand for? ..as I can't find it anywhere:/
THANKS.
