Commands is the 27th skill in the High Valyrian language course. It las 4 lessons.

Grammar Notes[]

High Valyrian has a number of terms for body parts, and possession works roughly as it would in English. Unlike some languages, where one doesn't use personal possessive pronouns with one's own body parts, it's perfectly natural to use personal possessive pronouns with body parts in High Valyrian, as shown below:

  • Ñuhī ondossa paman. "I rub my hands."

In general, though, if there is something else in the sentence that suggests possession, one does not need to include a possessive pronoun. Here is an example:

  • Bartos yne ōdras. "My head hurts." (Lit. "The head hurts me.")

Using ñuhyz in the sentence above isn't wrong, per se, it's simply unusual. In some circumstances, one would actually use pronouns for disambiguation:

  • Ondossa taobe ōdris. "The boy's hands are hurting."
  • Zȳhyz ondossa taobe ōdris. "His (some other person's) hands are hurting the boy."
