How to count in Dothraki

Enter a number and get it written in full in Dothraki.

Language overview

The Dothraki language has been coined by George R. R. Martin in his series of fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire. For the television adaptation of these novels named Game of Thrones aired from April 2011, the TV channel HBO has contracted David Peterson to develop the original words list into a complete language, with a grammar and rules of pronunciation.

Dothraki numbering rules

  • Digits from zero to nine are: som [0] (meaning absent, missing), at [1], akat [2], sen [3], tor [4], mek [5], zhinda [6], fekh [7], ori [8], and qazat [9].
  • Numbers for eleven to nineteen are formed by putting the digit name before the word for ten (thi), without space. Thus, we get atthi [11], akatthi [12], senthi [13], torthi [14], mekthi [15], zhindatthi (and not zhindathi) [16], fekhthi [17], oritthi (and not orithi) [18], and qazatthi [19]. The sixteen and eighteen irregularities appear as every other number in the teens is stressed on the penultimate syllable, so the t is doubled to follow that stress pattern.
  • The tens are formed by prefixing the multiplier unit with chi (or ch when the digit name begins with a vowel), except for ten: thi [10], chakat [20], chisen [30], chitor [40], chimek [50], chizhinda [60], chifekh [70], chori [80], and chiqazat [90].
  • The hundreds are formed by prefixing the word for hundred (ken) with the multiplier digit, with no space, except for one hundred itself: ken [100], akatken [200], senken [300], torken [400], mekken [500], zhindaken [600], fekhken [700], oriken [800], and qazatken [900].
  • The thousands are formed by prefixing the word for thousand (dalen) with the multiplier digit, separated with a space, except for one thousand itself: dalen [1,000], akat dalen [2,000], sen dalen [3,000], tor dalen [4,000], mek dalen [5,000], zhinda dalen [6,000], fekh dalen [7,000], ori dalen [8,000], and qazat dalen [9,000].
  • Compound thousands are formed by linking the thousand with the lower number with the conjunction ma (and, with), shortened in m’ before a vowel (e.g.: dalen ma sen [1,003], akat dalen m’atthi [2,011]).
  • One million is yor.
