Talk:per

Pursuant
I have always used "per" as a shortened form of "pursuant" (to). Thus: "I moved this page per request." This usage might be mainly from the legal profession. I'm afraid my limited print resources don't list it. --Stranger 00:16, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

"per" meaning "according to", or "in accordance with" is not yet standard English, and is considered erroneous by strict stylists.--anonymous

 * And as always the strict stylists are left in the dust, I see and hear this usage all the time. - TheDaveRoss 17:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

 * The fourth English preposition defenition, "in accordance with, I parked my car at the curb per your request. " Is not only not standard English, but not real-life English. The only place I ever see this usage is online. Real humans don't speak it.
 * I'd like to see your definition of "real human", if human internet users don't fit it. --Bran

 * Hi, I don't know if the definition given by the Miriam-Webster dictionnary is considered  "canonical" by a native English speaker. --YaK 20:38, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

per-?
Is per never followed by a hyphen? I've seen it used like this: "Configurable on a per-user basis." Is this wrong? I'm not sure if this is exactly the same usage of 'per' as in the examples in the articles. 85.1.186.89 14:24, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

English to French translations
Hi, I didn't mean to demonstrate once more the legendary French bragginess by flooding the Translations section ;) It seems to me that an example is clearer than the complicated rule mentionned in the previous version (although it was correct). I had then to find a logical way to discriminate the two possible translations. Please change my layout if inappropriate. --YaK 20:38, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Subtlety in the translations is usually explained on the page about that word, rather than in a Translations table. Translation is seldom exact, which is why the translations are linked.  A person can follow the link to learn more about how that word is used. --EncycloPetey 20:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Neutral third-person singular
I seem to remember reading, about ten years ago, about a proposal to use the word "per" as a neutral form of the third-person singular, i.e. to replace him/her when the gender of the subject isn't known or isn't important. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

My vague memory is that it was a remark in a document of the GNU project, but none of my web searches are turning up anything. Gronky 21:24, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

This use of "per" occurs throughout Marge Piercy's novel Woman on the Edge of Time. Daniel Earwicker (talk) 19:32, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Deletion debate (one meaning)
Rfd-redundant: sense 2, "used in expressing ratios of units" is just a specific case of sense 1, "for each". For example "miles per gallon" is just "miles for each gallon". Examples of this usage should be given with sense1, but I don't think it is a separate sense. Thryduulf 12:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * It's not exactly the same as "for each", is it? You can go "sixty miles per hour" even if you're only driving for a few minutes. In other words, I agree with you that they seem to be the same sense, but I don't agree that the current definition of sense 1 is sufficient to cover the examples under sense 2. I'm not sure if they should be merged. —Ruakh TALK 12:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Can't the "R" in Three be pronounced as an alveolar flap/tap rather than an alveolar approximate?

 * After a "th", that’s how I pronounce "r" (as an alveolar flap). I’m in Texas but my "dialect" is considered Standard American in general. —Stephen 07:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:sanatorium

I listed the definition as "a mental hospital" and I notice you added "that treats chronic diseases". I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best definition maker on the planet, but it seems to me that "chronic diseases" doesn't really apply either. I mean, congestive heart failure is a chronic disease yet mental hospitals don't treat hardening of the arteries. Can you give this another try? Cheers --Stranger 15:59, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Boy, I just don't know. Speed changed this per my request (see above).  I know, historically, sanatoriums treated more than just mental illnesses.  It was more a resting place for the wealthy.  It certainly wasn't used for emergencies.  But I really don't know about "chronic diseases" - I'm not that up on my history.  I will leave this note and defer to someone with more knowledge.  Cheers, --Stranger 03:59, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Semper changed the definition more along the lines of Speed's, so I bow to their combined wisdom. But I will say I think a sanatorium is often used to refer to simply a mental hospital in modern US parlance.  --Stranger 15:14, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Creidiki,

First of all: Welcome to Wiktionary! As far as I'm concerned anything that is a word or an expression which you can give a definition for, translate or describe lexicologically is welcome. Indeed we even have entries for symbols and punctuation. Jargon, technical and otherwise certainly has its place here. Where we draw the line is invented words and some artificial languages.

Here are some more pointers:

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * Wiktionary Tutorial
 * Community Portal
 * Entry layout explained
 * Criteria for inclusion
 * FAQ
 * How to edit a page
 * How to start a page
 * Wiktionary Sandbox (a safe place for testing syntax)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk (discussion) and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~, which automatically produces your name and the current date.

Talk:neologism

What about we begin a wiktionary list of suggested neologisms... i've got a couple of related ones, 'appronym', to describe a word that sounds appropriate, like 'hug', 'deft' and 'taut'. This is for words that aren't onomatopaeic, but somehow 'fit'.

My second word is its antonym, 'contranym', a word that doesn't sound as if it belongs to the thing it describes. This is a much smaller set of words, for example: 'pulchritudinous'.

A machine requires rigid moving parts
A machine must have rigid moving parts. Some things that are not machines: a hammer, a rope, an airfoil, a barometer, a fountain (sans pump), a loudspeaker (although that's on the border). An atlatl is not a machine either, although the combination of atlatl and spear might be considered a killing machine. Things containing hydrolics are only machines in that they contain rigid parts that the hydrolics move; otherwise they're fountains or irrigation systems or some such.

I understand wanting to call all electronic devices machines, but I don't think they are any more than a hydrolic irrigation system is a machine. In other words, electrons are more like fluids than anything else. Entirely electronic devices -- electronic devices with no moving parts -- are pretty much in their own catagory, they are electronic devices. Most electronic devices, cellphones, computers, etc. have rigid moving parts anyhow. Regardless, electronic devices are only machines in a laxer, and more modern sense. There is a physics definition of simple machine but that's really another definition.

The existing definition is just plain wrong. I propose it be changed back to:

 * 1) a mechanical device having rigid moving parts that produces an application of force, usually over a distance, usually to useful effect.

--kop 04:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Definitions
I wondered about the current definition, so I collected the above options to choose from. --Daniel Polansky 17:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I like the second one. —Stephen 18:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I disagree. In the English language, the word has verifiably been used with reference to devices with but a single part, devices with non-rigid parts, and even non-mechanical devices. Consider key policy number 4: "Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, representing all usages fairly and sympathetically." 67.130.129.135 01:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * That does not mean that the single defintion must cover all usages. We are permitted to write more than one definition if there is more than one common meaning. --EncycloPetey 01:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * For example, in rigging, a whip multiplies force in tension through a rope using a single sheave or a bullseye, up to 2x force - friction. Clearly a machine, and the application of force is not via rigid moving parts but through a flexible moving part. - Amgine/talk 02:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed. I was objecting to declaring the broader definition invalid. Rather than replacing a broad definition with a narrower one (or attempting a comprehensive set of narrow definitions), it would be better to indicate some usages are specific. 67.130.129.135 01:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

RFV
The adjective sense is just an attributive use of the noun, so should be deleted, isn't it? --Dan Polansky 22:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

 * "Belonging to a machine" seems attributive to me: machine parts is no different from tractor parts, and tractor isn't an adjective. But I am not certain about "made by a machine" (e.g. machine goods). Equinox 23:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Suggestive tests for [[adjectivity]]:
 * comparability (more, -er) [this one says it is not comparable]
 * gradability {very) [I don't think so]
 * usable as predicate (without "a" or "the") [I don't think so]]
 * I don't think this is likely to make it in either of the senses given. DCDuring TALK 00:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I concur. Belonging to a machine argument by Equinox is unassailable. DCDuring is right about sense 2. Otherwise we might as well add "vending machine" while we are about it, as one can easily find "vending machine coffee". It is clearly attributive noun usage. -- A LGRIF  talk 09:30, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Deleted: striking. Equinox ◑ 19:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

An outdated or simply "dated" term used in the US during the 30s and 40s is the word "machine" meaning motor vehicle or car/automobile. Difficult finding this reference anywhere. Ideas? Robert Bushee <email redacted>

 * Not usable to cite the English word, but ماشین (masin) is "car" in Persian, borrowed from French at some stage. Equinox ◑ 22:25, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * In Russian also means "car" but also "machine". Persian may have borrowed the term  via Russian. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 13:51, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

As far as I know, this is a German verb, ontberen in Dutch. To lack and have to do without. Giving it another German verb with a slightly different meaning (to forego) as a definition, seems a bit odd to me.

 * I found this word on print.google.com as I was researching entsagen. They seemed to have the same meaning, but I didn't delve into it any further.  I didn't want to forget entbehren though.

productive

Etymology
Borrowed from.

Adjective

 * 1) Capable of producing something, especially in abundance; fertile.
 * 2) Yielding good or useful results; constructive.
 * Of, or relating to the creation of goods or services.
 * 1)   Consistently applicable to any of an open set of words.
 * 2)  Of a cough, producing mucus or sputum from the respiratory tract.
 * 3)  Of inflammation, producing new tissue.
 * 4)  A type of set of natural numbers, related to mathematical logic.
 * 1)  A type of set of natural numbers, related to mathematical logic.

Usage notes
In English, the plural suffix “-es” is productive because it can be appended to an open set of words (singular nouns ending in sibilants). Thus, if a new word with that pattern becomes an English noun (e.g. *examplex), it would have a default plural (e.g. *examplexes) because “-es” is productive.

Template talk:Wiktionary and WMF jargon

This template seems like it could be a decent way to address the perennial problem of whether or not to include general Wiki* jargon. I would hope it would also cover Wikipedia jargon, and perhaps all WikiMedia jargon, instead of only Wiktionary? --Connel MacKenzie 17:00, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I just added DW. I have no problem with this being (Wiki jargon) but I would like {wjargon} to replace the manual Glossary at some point.  Does it make sense to have "WS" mean WikiSpecies in the Wiktionary Glossary, or should "WS" simply be listed (as I think it is now) as "Wiktionary Shortcut".  --Stranger 19:31, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * That is an interesting problem. I don't honestly know.  I've been entering shortcuts on a first-com-first-served basis...that would make WikiSpecies be WS:WSp or WS:WSP.  Better ideas anyone?  -- [ Connel MacKenzie] 19:39, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Icelandic

How do feel like making an Icelandic phrasebook? Category:Phrasebook is the size of what we're after. It would be lovely if you did some time. Thanks for the new language in the dictionary so far. --Expurgator t(c) 14:29, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

 * You're welcome - I am admittedly just starting to learn Icelandic myself, but I really like the language, and I noticed there weren't many words in Icelandic in Wiktionary yet, so I started adding some. :) So far, I'm just writing the entries; after that's done, I'll go through the English entry pages and add Icelandic translations.

 * As for the phrasebook, that sounds like a great idea, too - I'll write up some entries for phrases and put them into the category. :) -- Schneelocke 19:01, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

icelandic
Hello Schneelocke, your icelandic entries here are great! Thanks a lot for them! I thought you may also be interested in the icelandic Wiktionary.

Kær kveðja, --Spacebirdy 08:55, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Takk fyrir! ^_^ I don't really speak Icelandic yet, but I'm taking a course now, and I'll definitely give the Icelandic Wiktionary (and Wikipedia) a look in the future. ^_^ -- Schneelocke 18:55, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

reykja
Congratulations on making a milestone with reykja. Now I'm curious to know what "vik" means - does this mean anything by itself? — Paul G 08:42, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks. :) vík means "bay", IIRC. -- Schneelocke 22:24, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

German diminutive forms
Hi Schneelocke,

You know what would be interesting information for German nouns? The diminutive form. Maybe you can add it if you happen to know it. Sometimes it needs an umlaut, sometimes it doesn't when the plural needs one. So I don't think they are exactly regular.

Cheers, Polyglot 07:09, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Sure, that sounds like an interesting idea. :) I'm actually reasonably sure that there are rules that govern diminutive forms, but I don't know them, of course (one of the downsides of being a native speaker ^_~). Anyhow, I'll add them to the articles from now on. Thanks for the suggestion! ^^ -- Schneelocke 17:50, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

language templates
Please don't use language templates like (at least in the translations section). Ncik 02:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Why not? -- Schneelocke 02:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Chiefly because not all editors (probably the vast majority) don't know in which order to arrange them, since they don't mirror the alphabetical order of the spelled out language names. And for words like yes, no, cat, dog, etc. which already have dozens of translations, even people familiar with ISO 639-3 will often struggle. You can find extensive discussions about it in the Beer Parlour (archives). Ncik 13:08, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

 * OK. -- Schneelocke 00:42, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

About Icelandic
I'm from Iceland (Reykjavík to be more exact) and I thought about contacting you since you mentioned you're interested in it? I've mostly been adding declension-tables to a lot of Icelandic nouns, and fixing the numbers. --BiT 07:12, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

 * You are? Cool! I'm not very active on Wiktionary myself anymore, admittedly, but I think it's great that you've started working on the Icelandic parts - thanks for that. :)

 * (As for myself, I've recently taken an Icelandic course at the local university again, and I'll also attend a follow-up course the next semester, and maybe further ones after that (I know that at least four are being offered in total); maybe I'll get back to contributing more again some day, too.) -- Schneelocke 17:05, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
