Impress your otherworldly friends with these Dothraki, Na’vi and Klingon phrases, graciously translated from English by the creators themselves.

1. “I love you”

Dothraki: “Anha zhilak yera.” Na’vi: “Nga yawne lu oer.” Klingon: Klingons are not likely to say “I love you,” so Marc Okrand suggested “qamuSHa’.” Which means “I don’t hate you.” Close enough.

1. “Where’s the bathroom?”

Dothraki: “Finne anha navak?”

Na’vi: There are no bathrooms on Pandora, so Paul Frommer gave us, “Fko tsun fngivä’ peseng?” (“Where can one relieve oneself?”)

Klingon: “nuqDaq ‘oH puchpa’’e’?”

1. Translators’ choice

Dothraki: “Hash jini atthirarido, hash anha vaddrivak mahrazhes fin kis vallatha anna.” (“If this is a dream, I will kill the man who tries to wake me.”)

Na’vi: “Nari si, ma skxawng! Oeri nga tìmìran sìn kxetse!” (“Watch out, you idiot. You just stepped on my tail.”)

Klingon: “jol yIchu’!” (“Activate the transport beam!”)

For “Game of Thrones,” Peterson took the smattering of Dothraki words that author George R.R. Martin included in the books that inspired the series and expanded them into a language that has more than 3,500 vocabulary words and is expanding all the time.

Frommer’s exotic Na’vi language began with a list of about 30 words created by “Avatar” director Cameron. Frommer thinks he is up to about 2,000 now.

Klingon creator Okrand’s raw materials were a few commands actor James “Scotty” Doohan barked out in the first “Star Trek” movie. What Okrand created from there has spawned a dictionary (which he wrote), a Klingon version of “Hamlet,” and the Klingon Language Institute.

No matter where they started, each linguist ended up with languages that have their own system of sounds and their own rules about grammar, syntax and pronunciation. And once those rules are made, they can’t be broken. That’s the dream, anyway.

Actually I was just looking at them changing out the trolley signs putting up new ones in Klingon language (thank god it's only in one spot). Some nerd event happening tonight and I came across this stuff.
