Talk:a luta continua

Aluta Continua is a Portuguese (not Afrikaans) saying meaning "The struggle continues". It is highly believed that it was discovered as an inscription on Kunta Kinte's commemorate.

The correct wording of the phrase is actually "A luta continua, vitória é certa" meaning, "The struggle continues, victory is certain". However, it has been corrupted over the years and is more likely to be written: "Aluta Continua, Victoria Acerta".
 * Seems like SoP. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:16, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

I cannot say whether this has relevance in Wiktionary, but it certainly is very relevant to the wars for independence in Mozambique and, to a lesser degree, Angola. See the Wikipedia entry for more. Potion (talk) 09:58, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * But, you see, in Portuguese this can be used for anything: sport competitions, hard-to-cure diseases, spreading one’s religion, ... all sorts of struggles. Only in other languages this phrase is specifically associated to the Mozambican war. — Ungoliant (Falai) 17:24, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * And here in Kenya,it is used mostly by,khat(miraa)￼chewers to mean that people will continue chewing khat and no matter the situation..."aluta continua" 197.248.198.205 14:21, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

a luta continua
"The struggle continues"; widely associated with the anti-apartheid resistance movement.

Actually this is used as a motto for any sort of struggle, and therefore is a non-idiomatic sum of parts.

The entry originally called it Afrikaans, and a Google Books search suggests it might be citable in English. See also. — Ungoliant (Falai) 01:24, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Someone actually mistook Portuguese for Afrikaans? Wooow. - -sche (discuss) 02:35, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Well seeing as it was used in South Africa as debatably a borrowing from Portuguese into English and Afrikaans, it's not that strange of a mistake. --WikiTiki89 02:38, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, it was Mozambique, not South Africa. --WikiTiki89 02:42, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. SoP, who uses it and why is not relevant to if it's includable or not. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:37, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * To clarify, a sum of parts sentence does not stop being sum of parts if a well-known organisation starts to use it as a motto. Save The Children currently use no child born to die, which is a very noble idea, but not suitable for a dictionary. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree with you: there is no reason to include a motto, or to include a slogan. Unless it becomes a set phrase used by many different organizations in many different struggles with many different objectives. Lmaltier (talk) 16:28, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Quite a few other can go at the same time then. semper fi: springs to mind. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:33, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I think "semper fi" is keepable if it's used in phrases like "He has a semper fi attitude" (as seems likely). This Portuguese phrase is harder to use attributively, though. (And I keep thinking it means "The lute continues [playing]".) —Angr 17:48, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:naco

Foodstuff from "Kim Possible"
Appears to have limited use from the 2002 movie Kim Possible and resulting cult/catch phrase following.

From this quotes page:

Movie Title: Kim Possible (2002) as Rufus:

[Ron has poured nachos onto a tortilla]
 * Kim : What are you doing?
 * Ron : Taco meets nacho. I call it the "naco"!
 * Kim : I call it "gross beyond reason."
 * Rufus : Mmm! Naco!

Place name?
Googled in absence of "taco" or "nacho", "naco" yields assorted acronyms. It may also be a place name.--Dvortygirl 06:51, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Not NACO, but Naco, a pleace name in the Dominican Republic perhaps? --Connel MacKenzie 01:26, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I've spent more time than I care to admit going through google results and find no authoritative source citing "naco". --Stranger 03:20, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

RFV discussion: May–June 2021
— 73.157.135.57 21:58, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia mentions it as "a fictional product from Kim Possible ... invented by Ron Stoppable". In that fiction series it is served at a restaurant called Bueno Nacho. I think it's a capitalised brand name. So needs a capital N, and would fail WT:FICTION. Equinox ◑ 22:03, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

 * In the first season Ron invents it as the "naco", but later the idea is picked up by Bueno Nacho and added to their menu making it a brand name. I wasn't sure which capitalization would be more correct. I fear you may be right about WT:FICTION though, I posted this here to see if anyone else could find a source for the word outside of the Kim Possible universe. 73.157.135.57 22:43, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * If this is kept, the etymology needs to state that it was coined by the writers of the relevant episode of Kim Possible, not by the fictional character Ron Stoppable. —Mahāgaja · talk 07:55, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

I can find more evidence for a taco made from naan instead of a tortilla. (e.g. ) Kiwima (talk) 21:56, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Usage notes
In Early Modern English, the shaft referred to the entire body of a long weapon, such that an arrow's "shaft" was composed of its "tip", "stale" or "steal", and "fletching". Palsgrave (circa 1530) glossed the French j[']empenne as "I fether a shafte, I put fethers upon a steale". Over time, the word came to be used in place of the former "stale" and lost its original meaning.

jealous

Etymology
. From, , , from , from , from. .

Adjective

 * 1) Suspecting rivalry in love; troubled by worries that one might have been replaced in someone's affections; suspicious of a lover's or spouse's fidelity.
 * 2) Protective; zealously guarding; careful in the protection of something (or someone) one has or appreciates, especially one's spouse or lover.
 * 3) Envious; feeling resentful or angered toward someone for a perceived advantage or success, material or otherwise.
 * I'm jealous because I'm single.
 * 1) Suspecting, suspicious.
 * I'm jealous because I'm single.
 * 1) Suspecting, suspicious.
 * I'm jealous because I'm single.
 * 1) Suspecting, suspicious.

Usage notes
Some usage guides seek to distinguish “jealous” from “envious”, using jealous to mean “protective of one’s own position or possessions” – one “jealously guards what one has” – and envious to mean “desirous of others’ position or possessions” – one “envies what others have”. This distinction is also maintained in the psychological and philosophical literature. In common usage however, although envious is always with respect to others’ possessions or fortune, jealous does not always refer strictly to one’s own possessions (as shown by the citations above).
