Hi, it's me again,

I just wanted to ask, how do I express the english "than" in dothraki. For example, if I want to say that Drogo is stronger than Ogo. I can say Drogo is stronger, "Drogo ahajana," but I'm not sure how to express the comparing to Ogo.

That is formed by putting the person you are comparing to in the ablative case. (http://wiki.dothraki.org/Verb_Classes#Comparand_class)

So to say Drogo is stronger than Ogo you would say Drogo ahajana Ogosoon.
