"The boy and the man are good."

Translation: Taoba valā sȳri issi.

[Poat13]

Can someone please explain to me the difference between sȳz and sȳri? I still can't apparently work out the difference.

[xPsGoDWh]

"Sȳz" is used for solar and lunar nouns in the nominative and accusative singular. "Sȳri" is used for solar and lunar nouns in the nominative and accusative plural. Also see: https://wiki.dothraki.org/High_Valyrian_Adjectives#S.C8.B3z-type

I can't type the y in Syri.

[PhillipDunhin]

Nether can I

[PhillipDunhin]

My phone doesn't tipe the "y" like this "ā"

[paris954]

How do u type that kind of accent?

Why not syrī taoba valā issi

[xPsGoDWh]

I think that would be "Good boy and man are", which doesn't make that much sense. "To be" basically functions as a "=", so the sentence needs the two sides of the equation. I think if you put "good" before "boy and man" you put them all on the same side of the equation.

[tim981145]

Ah yes you are right. "Sȳri taoba valā issi" in english is "They are a good boy and man". I'm sorry

[aadrita__]

Ahh all right thanks, I was thinking of something else then

[tim981145]

Don't know. "Sȳri taoba valā issi" should be correct in my eyes

[RobSalt1799]

If the "syri" comes after both the "taoba" and the "vala" then it would include both of them. That's how I like to think of it at least.
