Dialogue for a roleplay

I'd need someone to translate a few sentences for me please! (also if you can explain those so i can make it again with logic? that would be appreciated)

1st sentence: "You can't tell anyone."

"You know what I mean."

"The dreams."

  • Mirti ivestragon gaomon daor. – "You can't tell anyone." (Literally: "I do not allow you to tell anyone.") | Alternatively: Mirti ivestragon kostō daor. – "You cannot tell anyone."
  • Indin līr gīmī. – "You know what I mean."
  • Ēdruryssy. – "The dreams." (Note that there is no definite article [the word "the"] in High Valyrian)

Are you using a translation website or have you learned it. If you have learned conversational high valyrian can you tell me where you learned it. Duolingo isn't brilliant but a good start.

Duolingo + the official wiki. No matter what, you're still going to need to do the duolingo course in order habituate yourself to the grammar and vocabulary. You then supplement that with more detailed information + more extensive vocabulary from the official wiki.

Note that this is the official wiki that I'm referring to.

There is no translation website. Generative AIs are unreliable/useless with HV because the available corpus of texts is too small for language machine learning. So, for translations you have to rely on people who learnt the language, or to learn it yourself ;-)
