Hi, David! This HV Duolingo course is hhhhhhamazing. Thank you!! Question: is the third person used in second-person address for politeness? Like when Thoros says "Quptenkos Ēngoso ȳdrassis" instead of "ȳdrassia," or when Dany says "Dāeri vali sīr issi" instead of "iksāt." Or are these just speaker/actor errors?

In High Valyrian, it’s an error, but it isn’t necessarily an error in some of the daughter languages of High Valyrian—for example, Myrish (and he is Thoros of Myr). So even though High Valyrian had no formal/informal distinction, speakers of daughter languages that do have formal/informal distinctions may make those distinctions when speaking High Valyrian. It would be something akin to a French speaking using the second person plural as a formal second person singular when using Latin. Not correct, but it makes sense.

The World of Ice and Fire - A Myrish tradeswoman.

The Myrmen are believed by certain maesters to be akin to the Rhoynar, as many of them share the same olive skin and dark hair as the river people, but this supposed link is likely spurious. There are certain signs that a city stood where Myr now stands even during the Dawn Age and the Long Night, raised by some ancient, vanished people, but the Myr we know was founded by a group of Valyrian merchant adventurers on the site of a walled Andal town whose inhabitants they butchered or enslaved. Trade has been the life of Myr ever since, and Myrish ships have plied the waters of the narrow sea for centuries. The artisans of Myr, many of slave birth, are also greatly renowned; Myrish lace and Myrish tapestries are said to be worth their weight in gold and spice, and Myrish lenses have no equal in all the world.
