Dothraki Words Quiz — From Khaleesi to Qoy Qoyi

Quick Answer: You can test your Dothraki vocabulary — from titles like khaleesi and khal to phrases like qoy qoyi ("blood of my blood") — with a free, instantly generated multiple-choice quiz at Tengwar's Quiz Maker. Type any Dothraki topic and get 5 AI-built questions grounded in David J. Peterson's canon vocabulary, no signup required for your first quiz.

If you've ever repeated M'athchomaroon in the mirror or argued with a friend about whether khaleesi means "queen" or "princess," this one's for you. Dothraki has one of the most recognizable but least tested vocabularies of any conlang built for television — plenty of word lists, not many ways to actually check what stuck. That's a real, easy-to-fill gap, and it's exactly what we built Tengwar Quiz for.

Head to /tengwar-quiz, type a topic — try "Dothraki titles," "khaleesi and khal," "Dothraki wedding vocabulary," or just "Game of Thrones language" — and the AI quiz maker generates 5 multiple-choice questions on the spot, drawing on the same canon vocabulary database (David J. Peterson's Living Language Dothraki, the dothraki.org dictionary, and show dialogue) that powers our AI language tutor and translator.

Sample questions you might see

To show what the AI quiz maker draws from, here are a few real canon-sourced items pulled straight from our Dothraki vocabulary database:

1. What does khaleesi mean? A) Princess B) Wife of a khal / queen ✓ C) Horse master D) Bloodrider

Khaleesi is a title, not a name — it means "wife of a khal," the Dothraki warlord/chieftain who leads a khalasar (riding clan). Daenerys Targaryen holds the title through her marriage to Khal Drogo; it isn't her given name.

2. What does qoy qoyi mean? A) Fire and blood B) Blood of my blood ✓ C) Death to the enemy D) Sun and stars

Qoy means "blood," and qoy qoyi is the set oath phrase a bloodrider swears to their khal — pledging their life is joined to his. It shows up in bloodrider-binding and wedding scenes, which is also why it's a popular choice for Dothraki wedding blessings and ceremonial phrases.

3. What is a khalasar? A) A Dothraki sword B) A riding clan / horde following a khal ✓ C) The Dothraki capital city D) A Dothraki wedding ceremony

Khalasar is the basic social and military unit of Dothraki society — the entire travelling group that follows a khal. Related: khal (the leader), khaleen (the collective wives of khals), and ko (a bloodrider/officer within the khas, a khal's personal guard).

4. What is M'athchomaroon? A) A battle cry B) A formal greeting meaning "with respect" ✓ C) The Dothraki word for horse D) A farewell blessing

The standard formal Dothraki greeting, built from me- ("with") plus athchomar ("respect"). The everyday, more casual equivalent is Hash yer dothrae chek? — literally "are you riding well?" — which functions like "how are you?"

These are just a taste — generate your own quiz and you'll get a different mix of titles, greetings, nature words, and combat vocabulary every time.

Why quiz yourself instead of just reading a word list?

Passive vocabulary lists are good for reference, but recognition beats recall almost every time you're just skimming a table. A multiple-choice quiz forces active retrieval, which is the actual mechanism that moves words from "I've seen that" to "I know that." It's the same principle behind spaced-repetition flashcards, just packaged as something you can do in ninety seconds.

If you complete a quiz and want to go deeper than word-recognition, the natural next step is structured lessons — our Dothraki course takes you from vocabulary into real grammar, verb conjugation, and sentence-building, with 4 free lessons before any signup is required.

What topics work well

The quiz maker isn't limited to a fixed word bank — it can build a quiz around almost any Dothraki-adjacent topic. Some that tend to produce strong questions:

• "Khal and khaleesi titles" — tests the title/rank system (khal, khaleesi, khaleen, ko, jhaqo)
• "Dothraki wedding vocabulary" — pulls from ceremonial and blessing phrases
• "Dothraki horse and riding words" — the largest single vocabulary category in the language (hrazef, dothralat, virzetha)
• "Dothraki insults and curses" — sharper, more memorable vocabulary
• "Famous Dothraki show quotes" — tests recognition of lines like Me nem nesa ("it is known") and Shekh ma shieraki anni ("my sun and stars")

People Also Ask

Is there a Dothraki words quiz online? Yes — Tengwar's AI Quiz Maker at /tengwar-quiz generates a free 5-question Dothraki vocabulary quiz on demand. Type a topic like "Dothraki titles" or "khaleesi and khal" and it builds multiple-choice questions grounded in canon vocabulary from David J. Peterson's language.

What does khaleesi mean in the Dothraki quiz? Khaleesi means "queen" or, more precisely, "wife of a khal" — the Dothraki warlord title. It's one of the most commonly missed answers in vocabulary quizzes because people assume it means "princess" or is Daenerys Targaryen's personal name rather than a title.

What does qoy qoyi mean? Qoy qoyi means "blood of my blood" — the oath a bloodrider (qoyali) swears to their khal, pledging that their life is bound to his. Qoy alone means "blood"; qoyi is the plural/emphatic form used in this set phrase.

Do I need to sign up to take the Dothraki quiz? No. Anonymous visitors can generate and take one free quiz per week on Tengwar's Quiz Maker and Tengwar Scribe tools. After that, a free account (no credit card) unlocks unlimited quizzes plus the full Dothraki lesson course.

What's the difference between khal and khaleesi? Khal is the male warlord/king title — the leader of a khalasar. Khaleesi is "wife of a khal." Both are titles tied to leadership of the riding clan, not simply marital labels.

Where do the quiz questions come from? Every question is grounded via retrieval from Tengwar's canon Dothraki vocabulary database — the same source used by our AI tutor and translator — pulling from Living Language Dothraki, the dothraki.org dictionary, and show dialogue, not invented words.
