I really want to learn more about the High Valeryian language. How the hell does one word (Valar) translate into "all men must?" Unless -is is a verb conjugation for "everyone," which would be a weird thing for a language to have.
Method of Madness:
I've always assumed a direct translation is simply "all men serve" and "all men die", with the "must" being implied. Or perhaps "valar" simply means "all humans".

An "In Memorium" video for all the characters that died in Seasons 1-3 that was apparently shown before the Game of Thrones panel at Comic Con. (Obviously don't watch if you aren't caught up on the series)

If "Valar" means "all men" and "-is" is a 'command' conjugation (which exists in some languages) it could translate directly. Or you could be correct that the 'must' is implied. Although that's making the translation sound a lot more pithy than the original
