Expressing Feelings

High Valyrian features a number of ways to express feelings.

The verb iōragon, meaning "to stand, (to be feeling)", expresses feelings towards someone with the feeling in the locative case and the recipient of the feeling with the comitative case.

High Valyrian English
vēdrot ñuhom raqiroso iōran I am angry with my friend

If the recipient is oneself, use the reflexive.

High Valyrian English
munnot aōloma iōragon daor don't feel sorry for yourself
