Athchomar chomakea. Hake anne Jasati. Anha jasak hajinaan mezhilak erin asti. Anha, zhey Jasati, atak nesolaan Dothraki.
Hello everyone; I know I probably made plenty of mistakes, but I hope I did okay for my first attempt (this is my first time learning a conlag). I built my name using the examples David gave on his blog (http://www.dothraki.com/tag/names/), instead of with the Wiki. If I got this wrong... well, I hope I can still change it. :P
I went with, "jasak" because I couldn't find a word in the English to Dothraki dictionary purely for laugh, and the rule in tutorial 1 to reduce a word to its base was to drop to be (at/lat). I tagged, "-ak" at the end because I've noticed it tends to follow Anha (i.e. anha qiyak, anha sajak, etc.). "me-" before zhilak because it follows hajinaan, and I couldn't find "to love something" so I chose "to love someone". I used erin asti because asti seemed an acceptable root of astilat (or would it just be ast?). That's the sentence I had the most difficulty with, and would greatly appreciate it if someone could come along and give me a play-by-play of what I've said.
"I was shooting for, "Respect to those that are respected. My name is Jasati. I am (laughter) because I love a good joke. I, Jasati, will learn Dothraki."
Thanks for correcting me. :D Here I was thinking I was awesome. Still awesome, only slightly diminished. 8)
If I could change my username I would; instead I'll roll with Jasi for what people can see and gnash my teeth every time "Jasati" pops up. It'll act as a reminder for where I come from when I've gotten better at Dothraki. What's funny is that my name is Josie, so it works that way too.
Josie --> Jasi
Soooo... davra instead of erin. I missed it below erin, but I can see what you mean in that it'd be better suited in there.
With your corrections it would be...
Athchomar chomakea. Hake anni Jasi. Anha jasak hajinaan m'anha zhilak asti davra. Anha, zhey Jasati, ashilok lekhes Dothraki.
I understand why lekh would be necessary; I suppose if the Dothraki were explaining their language to someone else they'd need to differentiate between their people and their language.
