Template talk:en-verb

Replaces Template:regverb?
Are we to assume this template is to be used instead of Template:regverb? Personally, I like Template:en-verb (this one) better, but I wish there was a policy (consensus).

V-ball 02:25, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Template:regverb has been deprecated. Ncik 00:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Third Person Singular
Shouldn't the second box in the template note that this is Third person singular present? I realize this would make the box wider, but perhaps we could abbrev. as '''3rd pers. sing. present'''. --EncycloPetey 05:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This is pretty obvious and doesn't need to be mentioned. Similarly for other grammatical qualifiers like mood, aspect, etc. Ncik 03:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, of course it should follow convention, and list it properly as "Third person singular present." --Connel MacKenzie T C 00:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't know. It seems excessive to say "Third-person singular present indicative" when "Third-person singular" is pretty clear for English speakers. Rod (A. Smith) 00:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * It might be obvious to English speakers, but this is an international site used by people learning English as well. Saying "thrid person" might be taken to mean the singular and the plural.  Most other languages inflect their verbs far more than English does -- English is singularly weird when it comes to verb forms.

Add support for split verbs
It would be nice if there was some support for split verbs, so that it would be easier to add an inflection line for them, see e.g. fork over, where it has to be entered like this:. Something along the lines, which would result in

 * to en-verb over, (third-person singular simple present en-verbs over, present participle en-verbing over, simple past en-verbed over, past participle en-verbed over)

or something the like would be very nice. henne 11:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Use inf=fork over|forks over|forking over|forked over SemperBlotto 22:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, no the ‘to’ disappears then, so at least, but do we want red entries for forks over etc?  H. (talk) 08:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I think we do. A split verb is treated as a word and all its inflections should have entries like all other words. __meco 11:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Accommodate for US/UK differences
There are quite some verbs (e.g. label), that have different spellings in the -ing and -ed forms for US/UK. It would be nice if this could be accomodated for with some parameters (or a separate template, maybe). H. (talk) 14:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Are more than, say, a hundred such verbs? If not, it may be best to stick with the admittedly cumbersome syntax used in the label: entry.  If there are more than a hundred such verbs, we'll need to get input from a more public venue (e.g. WT:GP), because in the past, Connel has expressed considerable objection adding any more complexity to  and its kin.  Rod (A. Smith) 19:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * My understanding is that the difference exists for many (possibly even "almost all") multisyllabic words ending in consonant-vowel-consonant.—msh210 ℠ 19:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's quite so broad as that; for one thing, I'm pretty sure it's only when said vowel is unstressed. And actually I think it might only be verbs ending in unstressed -Vl (label, travel, trammel, gambol, cavil, carol, and so on); for example, parroted and covered seem to be the standard spellings everywhere (but with parrotted and coverred being common misspellings). —Ruakh TALK 08:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I would have liked this feature. DCDuring TALK 18:02, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Second person singular
Why don't we put how is the second person of the singular, nominative case?--200.127.229.244 18:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Example: to go

 * Because those forms have not been used in any standard dialect for centuries. Further, why would we provide goest and not also goeth? -- Visviva 02:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I wonder if there are verbs that have 5 of any of the following (the following renderers without error):

The quality comes before the form, example: write

Are there any second-person plural English verbs? --NoToleranceForIntolerance (talk) 20:31, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Category for use on pages outside N(0)
Most common templates when used outside principal namespace don't seem to become inserted into principal namespace categories. This one does. See Category:English verbsat "Template". As evidence I will leave the offending on a test page. I have been "nowiki-ing" them (about a dozen). (I know, I should have "noinclude"d them instead.) DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 19:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * The   near the end needs to be changed to   . This being one of our very most widely transcluded templates, I'll wait a few days before making the change, in case anyone has any objections, or (conversely) in case anyone brings up any other changes that should be made at the same time. —Ruakh TALK 21:01, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Not urgent, but was highly visible in the category. Had been noted by a user on cat talk. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 01:26, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Done. (Note that the change will take a while to work its way through the job queue. If there are any specific pages you want fixed, just go to their edit pages and click "Save page".) —Ruakh TALK 03:18, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

use for phrasal verbs and verb phrases
It would be handy to add a parameter for phrasal verbs, e.g. for kick out we write which would generate the same as  --Rising Sun talk? contributions 22:58, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Something like Template:en-phrasal, but of course better. --Rising Sun talk? contributions 23:07, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't see the net advantage to humans of showing full inflection for all phrasal verbs and predicates or of facilitating showing such. It seems like a waste of vertical screen space on the landing screen. As in all of these cases the inflection is just a click away if the inflection line is properly formatted with a wikilink. Of course, it would make a better database for machines to always have inflections for anything called a verb. DCDuring TALK 23:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I replace these as found with . It saves masses of space. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:26, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Please implement this more general idea (the p argument) proposed here--Dixtosa (talk) 09:14, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

use for commonly derived noun (-tion)?
Pros and cons of expanding this template to identify "-tion" nouns? E.g. nationalize -> nationalization

Facts707 17:24, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

If or if not above, an entry in the documentation something to the effect of "don't forget the noun form, eg: ...tion" would be helpful. Facts707 17:45, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The vast majority of verbs do not have such forms. There's no, for example, *worktion or *indulgtion. Any that does can list it s.v. "Related terms" (or "Derived terms" if appropriate). —msh210℠ 17:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose it's out of the template's remit. en-verb is used for verbs. What I guess you mean to say is adding  will create something like (derived noun nationalisation) but per msh210, put those in derived terms. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:25, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Isn't -tion an example of derivational morphology, while -ing -ed -s are inflectional morphology? As such it shouldn't be included in the "inflection line". Conrad.Irwin 21:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Prefacing verbs with to in Template:en-verb
Currently, Template:en-verb automatically adds to to before the base form of the verb. I suggest that we do away with this for the following reasons: --Brett 17:04, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) The word to is no more part of the verb than the is part of the noun. Rather it is a subordinator that marks the following verb phrase (VP) as subordinate and infinitive, similar to the way that that marks the clause as subordinate in ...that he arrive on time
 * 2) It is not the infinitive form of the verb that is being shown but rather the base form, which happens to be used in the infinitive, the subjunctive, and the imperative. These are all types of clause or VP, depending on your definition of clause, not verb forms. Of these, only the infinitive employes to.
 * 3) Even if it were the infinitive, and not the base form, there is the marked to infinitive (e.g., I want to go), and the bare infinitive (e.g., make me go).
 * 4) The standard among other English-language dictionaries is to present the verb without the to.
 * The principal reason for retaining the "to" is that it is yet another backstop against users mistaking a verb entry for another PoS and that some of our term template glosses retain "to" to make clear that the etymon is a verb, not a noun or other PoS. I suppose the backstop is redundant where inflection is shown. But we also have many entries for phrases that are headed by a verb that do not show any inflection. IOW, "to" in an entry or entry section serves as a marker that the entry/section concerns a verb. In some cases (eg, glosses) it is not redundant. The uses in the inflection line are redundant because of the PoS header and sometimes the content of the inflection line. DCDuring TALK 18:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It is in the inflection line that I'm suggesting it be removed. It is both redundant and misleading. I don't know what a "term template gloss" is, but I agree that you couldn't remove the to in cases like crawl: to move slowly unless you moved to full sentence explanations such as If something crawls, it moves slowly, a change I'm not advocating.--Brett 18:48, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep the 'to' and keep the 'a' in . Mglovesfun (talk) 22:05, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Why?--Brett 00:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Just feels right. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:08, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * In an inflection line, "to" seems like a pretty clear way of indicating that the following word is the base form of the verb. But is such an indicator necessary or helpful? I don't know. —Ruakh TALK 14:11, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

 * You have some good points there, including the predecent of English dictionaries. However, it seems that most of the points also justify the removal of "to" from the definition lines, which is not customary. I don't really know; interesting points, anyway. --Dan Polansky 14:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The other thing is that our inflection line displays the principle parts for a verb, making it a bit like a kind of grammatical table rather than just a dictionary lemma. And while the to-form is not that common in dictionary headwords, it's very common in declension tables and the like. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 14:52, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree that removal from the definition lines is not customary. Of the one-look dictionaries, only COBUILD learners and Wordnet do so. COBUILD uses complete sentences. Only Wordnet uses to-less infinitive clauses. But I don't agree that the arguments are the same. The word forms should show the word on its own. The definitions, however, are typically infinitive clauses: words used with other words. And in English, when we use infinitive clauses as subjects or complements of linking verbs, it is always marked with to (e.g., subj: To join a group is..., comp: ...is to join a group.) Notice that this is also an issue of mention vs use, where when you mention a word, the typical syntactic properties it has don't apply.
 * I also think the argument regarding declension tables is misleading. First of all, for the reasons I pointed to above, I think this practice is a mistake even in those tables that employ it. Secondly, again as I pointed out above, many dictionaries list all the forms. These could be equally said to resemble declension tables, but the major dictionaries don't use to here. Finally, more modern declension tables often don't list to. For example, the Azar English grammar series (Pearson Longman), one of the most popular ESL grammars in the world, simply gives the verb alone in its lists of irregular verbs.--Brett 16:28, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

This issue doesn't seem to generate much interest, but I'll give it one more shot with another analogy. Putting to in front of the verb is like putting be in front of the present participle. Yes, it commonly appears there, but it isn't part of the word form, and it's inaccurate to include it.--Brett 15:52, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I find your reasoning rather convincing. --Dan Polansky 16:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

OK, since there don't seem to be strong opinions about this, should I "be bold", change it, and see what happens, or should we put it to a vote?--Brett 13:19, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Category:English verbs which are their own past participle

past_ptc2
Not documented. Maybe add it? Thanks. Equinox ◑ 02:27, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

 * "past_ptc2=" seems not to generate anything, not even an error message (See fretsaw.). This is not a very rare occurence and having a parameter for it that generated standard text would enable instance to be found conveniently. Sadly it is beyond my paygrade to fix as long as it is in Module:headword, which raises the question Why should it be in Module:headword?. DCDuring TALK 19:15, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

 * That's done in Module:headword, so it applies to all languages. I don't think qualifiers should be that long though, imagine how long the entire headword line would be! If qualifiers get to be that long, use a usage note. —CodeCat 13:56, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Undocumented single parameter
While parsing through the wiktionary data, I noticed there were many cases of this en-verb template being used with a single parameter, other than es / d / ing. The first example in the dump is "cat":. This is consistently parsed as:

The third person singular gets 's' added to the base word: cats.

The past gets "ed" added to the parameter: catted.

The present participle gets "ing" added to the parameter: catting.

So, indicates cases that are almost regular, but there is some different form of the word that the suffixes needed to be added to for the past and present participle.

—Darxus (talk) 20:46, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Undocumented parameter "ies"
If the second parameter is "ies", it gets added to the first parameter for the third person, *and* "ied" gets added to the first parameter for the simple past.

—Darxus (talk) 03:12, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Updates to the documentation
looking forward to the documentation being updated, as it’s not clear to me how the new parameters ++ and 1 work. :-) — SGconlaw (talk) 17:35, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

 * great, thanks! — SGconlaw (talk) 04:50, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Where can one find the documentation for the "normal" uses of "+" and "*". I dno't this you mean "as understood my 'normal' users". I can tell you don't mean "normal" for regexes or normal for "*" as a wildcard, but I can't tell what you do mean. IOW, WTF is meant by "normal"? DCDuring (talk) 19:03, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Template suggests "spulyying" instead of "spulyieing"
...for the verb. A double-y should probably be avoided when guessing inflections, though this case is obscure. Equinox ◑ 14:57, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

= Categories =

Category:English nouns and the like
Whenever I see them, I remove them, because it's more or less agreed on that such huge categories are not particularly useful. — Vildricianus 16:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I noticed that on the talk page for Category:English nouns, one person claimed they weren't very useful. To me, that seems debatable.  (Being a list freak myself, I can see someone wanting a list of all English nouns.)  I think this is especially true considering such a category exists for some (most?) of the other languages in the Wiktionary.  Is there some place I just haven't seen that it's been decided the category is so useless we aren't going to use it?

 * V-ball 09:29, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It came up in the Beer Parlour (check latest January I think), but it's nowhere near general consensus (yet). So no big deal; do add them if you feel they're useful. — Vildricianus 18:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:ru:Colloquial
Actually, this category does exist, so you can use. What you can't use is, because that would mark the word as colloquial in English. --EncycloPetey 18:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Logically, Russian colloquial words should belong to Category:Russian colloquial, not to Category:ru:Colloquial. Dart evader 18:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm . . . I'm split regarding this problem. I like Category:Russian colloquial better (it looks better), but the standard around here seems to be Category:ru:Colloquial.  Why have only Russian be different? — V-ball 00:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, let's consider other categories. For example, Category:ru:Cities is for Russian names for cities. We have cities, we have Russian names for them. Now, do we have something that could be called colloquial? I'd say no. It is simply a linguistic term for words describing objects of any semantic field, but of a certain stylistic quality. So, I think that categories looking like Category:ru:Something are for terms united semantically, while categories looking like Category:Russian something are supposed to unite terms connected only by some common linguistic feature and having nothing in common semantically. Uh, somewhat rambling explanation, isn't it? :) Dart evader 17:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've never heard that explanation before, although it makes sense. My only problem with it, again, is that it doesn't seem to be how the rest of Wiktionary is organized.  For example, colloquial French terms are all under Category:fr:Colloquial.  Don't get me wrong here — I like your explanation.  If we can get the rest of the languages to change their categorization (sp?) schemes, let's use the different Russian one, too.  If not, let's be consistent across Wiktionary (something it really lacks, and probably always will because of its collaborative nature). — V-ball 02:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Category:The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
ummm... What will go in this category? Are there lots of words unique to this particular group? --EncycloPetey 14:48, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I guess I would think there are enough based solely on the people in the Book of Mormon, but now that you get me thinking about it, I figure maybe a better idea would've been Category: Book of Mormon Characters since we've got Category: Biblical characters. So, yeah, I just made a not-so-useful category, I think. — V-ball 15:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Of course, there are also various LDS-related things like the different names for the Church, the books of scripture (and the books within the Book of Mormon (just like the books within the Bible)), characters in the scriptures, names for Church units (branches, stakes, etc.), and Mormon culture things like CTR. — V-ball 15:48, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, there are lots of Mormon-related words. The names of the different orders of priesthood, their services, the various stages that they go through, even names for different parts of their churches. SemperBlotto 15:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, but I think this category will be easier to use and remember if it's titled Category:Mormonism, and we can have a subcategory for characters from the Book of Mormon later, if we need it. --EncycloPetey 17:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm fine with that. —  V-ball 19:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Deletion discussion for Category:Utah
Regarding your retracted comments - i.e. "I'm not really sure what you're trying to do, Zaui", I feel I should explain. The deletion template states "Please do not remove this notice or blank this page while the question is being considered. However, you are welcome to make improvements to it." (emphasis mine) I wasn't trying to be disruptive, just trying to make improvements, as was suggested in the template. -- Zaui 23:20, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Fair enough. :-)  I think that usually, populating lists and categories under discussion for deletion isn't seen as improvement (or maybe that's just me?), but since I've changed my mind, no harm done.  Thanks for the explanation. — V-ball 03:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Category:cs:Fruits

Why did you just repeat the mistake? --Connel MacKenzie 16:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks to your subject line, I understand the mistake. By just looking at the history of the page, one doesn't see the expanded conjugation  table for the verb.  Now that I've seen that, I've fixed it and added the third etymology back in, which honestly seems better than deleting a whole valid etymology instead of just fixing the error in the conjugation table. — V-ball 16:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Mormon as a given name
I removed the definiton as a given name and the translation, because in my opinion, a given name is something that (several) parents choose for their children. The character Mormon is already defined, it need not be repeated. But my Russian is very limited. If there really are Russians named, say, Мормон Иванович Петров , please correct me.--Makaokalani 13:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

compactDocToc for template documentation
At Wikipedia, the usual way to structure template talk pages is to use to keep the documentation visible as the count of discussion topics grows. Is there a different standard format for Wiktionary template documentation? Rodasmith 21:23, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't know for sure. Some of the more experienced people around here could tell you.  I guess I just thought the TOC down in the middle looked really dumb since it was after the documentation, but included the headings from the documentation.  I guess it's nothing I'm willing to have a big fight over, I just thought it looked really lame. — V-ball 04:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Allow me to butt in: most templates here have the documentation on the template page itself, within noinclude tags. — Vildricianus 07:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Diminutives
Since when did we have that L4 header? ;-) Think it should be Derived terms, with a parenthetical note that it is a/the diminutive.

 * (diminutive:) motýlek

Robert Ullmann 15:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, I had considered adding the "derived terms" header, but remembered in some of the Russian entries (for example, "слон"), people had used this header. Also, you'll probably have to talk to some of the more linquistically inclined here, but I don't think diminutives are technically derived forms, as they're just seen as the same word, but said in a "cute" way.  I'm not sure about that, though.

 * I don't really care either way, and was really just going for consistency by using the same types of headings as I had already seen (esp. since Russian and Czech are both Slavic languages). — V-ball 15:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

ELE Headers
I've just started a discussion in the Beer Parlour based on an edit you made on the thaumaturgy page. Whether you have a strong opinion or not, you might want to follow the discussion to see what happens. The short version is that while your edit was understandable in light of ELE content, the ELE is not really clear about sequence and placement of the Derived terms and Related terms headers. --EncycloPetey 19:05, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Inflection templates
For which templates to use see Index to templates, which in particular links to English inflection templates (I'm a champion of Version B). Ncik 11:33, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Hello V-ball, you have been asking Daniel Polansky for Czech declensions so I post also here. I have done a first template for word like pán. Do you find it accurate and useful ? Should I continue with other models of declension ? Daniel found it totally useless for him. Prepositional singular of pán seems false according to this model of declension. Thanks. --Thomas 22:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Russian formatting.
Thanks; I've been experimenting a bit with the layout for Russian, and comments are certainly more than welcome. I've been thinking to include comparative and other forms into the declension table, but I think that would clutter them up. Perhaps a small table somewhere near the =Adjective= header, as in some Dutch entries? I'll try something out for that.

As for the headers, I know that in some cases the declension may be a level up, but then, in entries like русский or other nominalized adjectives, the table stands for both the noun and the adjective. We could then include two tables of course; I haven't really considered that yet. What do you think? — Vildricianus 08:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm experimenting right now with the small table, and although it looks a bit like table overkill (see важный), it might look decent on entries that have more than a one-word definition.

 * About the two tables: I think the average user who wants to find information on Russian words is likely to find it with the current system; anyone with basic knowledge will know how this works. I think two tables in this instance (three in total then with the comparison forms) will be complete overkill :-) — Vildricianus 08:48, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the levels of the headers are not such a big concern indeed, certainly not in Russian entries. As long as things remain clear, that is. Thanks for the ideas. — Vildricianus 08:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Removing audio pronunciation
Hi there! Thanks for your contributions. It might have been a mistake, but on your edit of peregrinate, you removed the audio pronunciation. I have included it back into the entry, but I also wanted to ask you to not do that anymore. Thanks. --Dijan 07:12, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Rollback
Sometimes, I really wish the [rollback] button would allow me to enter a comment.

The seems redundant with ===See also=== because it is. But that is intentional. One is purely a navigational aide at the top of the page, the other is a lexical relation.

Slovak
Hi, I just edited sever, and was very much in doubt on how to format the Slovak part. I saw you know some Slovak, and wanted to ask whether you could help me think about a suiting format for Slovak entries. If you’ll provide the input, I’d be happy to make appropriate templates and maybe we can create About Slovak together. Cheers! H. (talk) 14:25, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the invitation. I know a little Slovak, but mostly because I know Czech.  They're very similar languages.  My wife, though, speaks Slovak fluently.
 * Anyway, as for the layout of the entries, I would think that something along the lines of fully formatted Russian or Czech entries would work very well. Currently that consists of the headword and then the translation (like all foreign-language entries on the English Wiktionary), and after that it's good to have a declension paradigm (or a conjugation paradigm if it's a verb entry), then you can have all the usual synonyms, antonyms, etc., again, just like all entries following ELE on English Wiktionary.
 * That's my idea anyway. — V-ball 23:44, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Non-standard “Singular” header used in a Slovak language section
Please see Island. AutoFormat has tagged that section with an due to the use therein of a Singular header. It looks like good, old-fashioned Declension to me, but since I speak not a word of Slovak, I don’t know enough to change it myself. Since you speak some Slovak, could you correct the header and use the necessary templates please? †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 11:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, it should've been "Declension." I changed it, but don't have much time right now to fiddle more with it.  It's on the list of things to do, though. — V-ball 20:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Your Russian edits
Hi,

Your Russian edits have quite a few problems. Could you refrain from making new entries before you learn how to make them properly? If you knowingly create incomplete entries, pls have the courtesy of adding them to maintenance entries, e.g. by adding to the end. You can always request valid terms at WT:RE:ru. They will get created eventually or maybe soon. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:20, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Talk to me about which ones and what the specific problems are, please. In general, I don't have a huge amount of time to fiddle with Wiktionary, but I like to make sure words are in here when I come across ones that aren't, so I am not overly inclined to do a lot of editing, formatting, etc.  The nice thing about Wiktionary, though, is that others are free to edit and improve any time they have time or otherwise see fit!  I saw you updated the фрекинг entry; thanks for doing that!  —   V-ball (talk) 10:47, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi
I was wondering, since you are a near native speaker of Russian, if you know how you can translate a sentence such as life is life, is it normal to just say жизнь жизнь? Not just for this sentence but for any where you have this situation. Thanks if you know Mallerd 18:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * There may be nuances I am not aware of, but I would go with жизнь есть жизнь. I remember multiple occassions in Russia when I had to remind the lazy cashiers that деньги есть деньги when I paid with more small coins than they would've preferred. — V-ball 15:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi
It's me again ;) I was wondering if you could translate ветром стать as building wind? As it is becoming stronger, but I am not sure if it even exists. :) Could you tell me? Thanks Mallerd 17:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Or is it built by wind? I figured out it has an instrumative case in it, but it's hard. Mallerd 06:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Without context, this one is hard. It almost looks to me like it doesn't mean anything.  By switching the order so you have стать ветром you would get to become wind.  Obviously, with cases, word order isn't important, and you might see ветром стать in a poem or advertising or something like that.  Again, context would be helpful in translating this one. — V-ball 12:58, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Personal questions
Hi,

do you mind if I were to ask you a few personal questions? Feel free to not answer them, but I ask them because I wish to know something about 'memory' in Russia or with Russians in general. I ask these questions to several native Russian speakers, so forgive me if you encounter these questions on different talkpages. So here are the questions:

 * When were you born?
 * Were you 16 or older in the 1980s?
 * Were you born in Russia/Soviet Union? Where?
 * How do you remember the Soviet-Afghan war/Afghan war?
 * How do you remember the Soviet repression, such as the Gulag or the prison camp system?
 * How do you remember the public discussion in the 1980s/1990s about the repression and the prison camp system?
 * How do you feel about the victims of the Afghan war and the victims of the repression?

Answer in anyway you like (which includes not answering as well of course), thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Albanian
The language is a proper noun. You cannot speak "Albanians". The adjective is not comparable. Something either is Albanian or it isn't. A lot of your recent edits are similarly questionable or flat wrong. If you're tired, perhaps you should rest for a while. --EncycloPetey 02:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing a pattern of confusing Noun and Proper noun in your edits. If a word has a plural, that's usually a giveaway that it's a common noun; you can't judge it by whether it's capitalized or not.  So Mormon (the specific prophet) is a proper noun because it's a specific unique person.  But Mormon (member of the LDS movement) is a common noun; it's a not a particular person or thing, but one of a whole group of items all labelled with the same name.  Likewise Albanian (language) is a specific thing and therefore a proper noun.  But Albanian (person from Albania) is a common noun. --EncycloPetey 03:04, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmmm . . . just because something can be plural doesn't mean its a common noun. Yes, the language Albanian does not have a plural, and it's a proper noun.  However, the Albanian, a person from Albania, is a proper noun and can be pluralized.  The same goes for Mormon.  The prophet is just one person, and cannot be pluralized.  However, the name for males can be pluralized.  Think, "Hey, there's three Mormons in this room."  (Three different people named Mormon.)  —  V-ball 23:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I even made this distinction with the old edit where I indicated whether a specific definition pertained to a countable word or not.

 * <NOWIKI># A person from Albania or of Albanian descent.</NOWIKI>
 * <NOWIKI># The language spoken by the Albanian people, primarily spoken in Albania.  (ISO language codes: alb/sqi/sq.)</NOWIKI> — V-ball 23:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Both the Wikipedia article on Nouns and the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language disagree with you. The difference between the two lies in whether the noun applies to a unique entity or to a class of items.  Albanian (the language) is unique, and is therefore a proper noun.  Albanian (a person) belongs to a  class of similarly identified individuals, and so is a common noun. --EncycloPetey 01:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Appendix:Welsh mutations

Welsh, like all modern Celtic languages, is characterized by its initial consonant mutations. These mutations affect the initial consonant of a word under specific morphological and syntactic conditions. The mutations are an important tool in understanding the relationship between two words and can differentiate various meanings.

Welsh uses three mutations on consonants: the soft mutation (segment becomes voiced/lenites), the nasal mutation (segment becomes nasal), and the aspirate mutation (also called spirant mutation). Words beginning with a vowel are subject to h-prothesis under certain circumstances. Some sources consider h-prothesis of vowels to be a form of aspirate mutation, but since the environments of the two mutations are different, it is preferable to consider h-prothesis and aspiration two different mutations.

The unmutated form, i.e. the “basic” form that dictionary entries are listed under, is known as the radical.

Effects of the soft mutation
When under soft mutation, radical consonants lenite to voiced and/or fricative segments (/v ð/), as shown below:

† – the mutation of Welsh ts → j is only found in the colloquial language and will not be found in the literary register. It is found only in loanwords from English, i.e. chips is rendered as tsips in Welsh and with the mutated form jips – for example, mae gen i jips.

All other Welsh consonants do not change under the soft mutation.

Environments of the soft mutation
Soft mutation occurs in an enormous number of very different environments in Welsh. The following list is representative but not exhaustive.

After certain determiners
The definite article, , triggers soft mutation of a feminine noun or adjective in the singular:

In nouns, ll and rh never undergo soft mutation after the article, although they do in adjectives:
 * , although is feminine singular
 * , although is feminine singular
 * (referring to a feminine singular noun)

The possessive pronouns of the 2nd person singular and 3d person masculine singular  trigger soft mutation:

Nouns undergo soft mutation after, , and :

After a predicate particle
The predicate particle triggers soft mutation of a noun or adjective, except ll and rh do not undergo soft mutation here: The verb form triggers soft mutation of a predicate noun or adjective:

After certain adverbs
There is no soft mutation of ll and rh after, and :

After certain preverbal particles
Note:, , and trigger aspirate mutation of p, t, c and soft mutation of all other mutable consonants. This is known as mixed mutation.

Between nouns and their modifiers
Feminine nouns only are mutated after, but in nouns ll and rh are not (though they are in adjectives): When means “similar” it triggers soft mutation of both masculine and feminine nouns in the singular: After and, both feminine and masculine nouns are mutated: After other ordinal numbers, only feminine nouns are mutated:
 * After certain numbers
 * (referring to a feminine singular noun)
 * (referring to a feminine singular noun)
 * (referring to a feminine singular noun)
 * (referring to a feminine singular noun)
 * is masculine

An attributive adjective usually follows its noun in Welsh, but when the noun follows the adjective, it undergoes soft mutation. An exception is, which does not trigger soft mutation, and other preposed superlative adjectives do not necessarily trigger it.
 * After preposed adjectives

There is no soft mutation of ll and rh after n and r:
 * The second part of a compound

Exception: d does not mutate to dd after s, e.g..
 * Attributive adjectives after a feminine singular noun

This rule is applied sporadically in the case of proper names, and is also found.
 * Nouns in a genitive construction after a feminine singular noun
 * (from )
 * (from )
 * (from

There are many exceptions to this rule, e.g.
 * Attributive adjectives after a proper name when used as an epithet

 * Numbers following a plural noun for literary effect

Soft mutation without a trigger in the same phrase

 * The direct object of a finite verb, including, , :

 * The equative used exclamatorily

 * Various nouns and adjectives used adverbially

 * A noun in apposition to a noun or pronoun
 * (from )
 * (from )

 * Nouns in the vocative

 * Forms of starting with b- after a stylistically fronted predicate

 * Verbs expressing an opinion or belief used parenthetically

Negated sentences take the mixed mutation, so p t c undergo aspirate mutation, not soft mutation, here. In questions, all mutable consonants undergo soft mutation.
 * A verb at the beginning of a question or negated sentence (colloquial language)

 * A word after an interpolated prepositional phrase (including a conjugated preposition) or adverb

Effects of nasal mutation
A voiceless stop becomes a voiceless nasal, while a voiced stop becomes a voiced nasal.

The other consonants and the vowels do not change under nasal mutation.

After the determiner
The possessive determiner triggers nasal mutation:

Colloquially, may be reduced to  or deleted altogether (but still marked with an apostrophe); in both cases, the nasal mutation remains:

After the preposition
The preposition assimilates to  before a bilabial consonant and to  before a velar consonant.

Certain time words after certain numbers
The words, , and undergo nasal mutation after the numbers , , , , , , , , , , and their compound forms. Blynedd and blwydd also undergo nasal mutation after in composite numerals (i.e. where another number follows the noun to complete the meaning):

In most cases, only nouns (including verbal nouns) can undergo nasal mutation. The only exception is adjectives that are placed before the noun they modify:
 * (no mutation of the possessive determiner )
 * (no mutation of the possessive determiner )

Effects of the aspirate mutation
Under aspirate mutation, voiceless plosives become voiceless fricatives:

The other consonants do not change under the aspirate mutation.

Vowel-initial words are sometimes said to undergo aspirate mutation by adding a prothetic h, but since the environments are different for vowels than for consonants, h-prothesis will be discussed separately below.

After certain modifiers
The possessive determiner / (also ) triggers aspirate mutation:

The numerals and  trigger aspirate mutation:

The adverb triggers aspirate mutation:

After certain preverbal particles
Note: and  trigger aspirate mutation of p, t, c and soft mutation of all other mutable consonants. This is known as mixed mutation. The particle may be omitted, but the aspirate mutation remains:

H-prothesis
H-prothesis is the addition of h to a word starting with a vowel (including i when pronounced ).

The possessive determiners and infixed pronouns, / (also ), /, and / trigger h-prothesis:

When precedes a verb form as its direct object, it triggers h-prothesis even when it’s masculine singular:

The preposition triggers h-prothesis of  in complex numerals:

Talk:nicholaism

Hi I cant find an etymology for this word. If anyone can help I would be both grateful and humbled. Regards Andrew massyn 19:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, on a trivial basis it is an unusual compound of Nicholas + -ism. Another, apparently more common spelling, is Nicolaism, which is more straightforwardly from a Latin Nicolaismus, from Nicolaus (stem Nicola[o]-) + -ismus. It appears to be related to the w:Nicolaitans (Latin Nicolaitae, Greek Νικολαιται, 'followers of Nicholas') mentioned in Revelation 2. —Muke Tever 20:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC) Thanks, but I would argue against its acceptance as an etymology, because reference to unspecified deeds (as per the Nicolaitans) do not equate to clerical marriage or to clerical concubinage. On that argument, it could be related to any diatribe against any Nicholas. I think we need to be more definite than that. Regards Andrew massyn 22:12, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, it isn't my speculation, but appears to be the Internet consensus; a few sources I found: Nicolaismo Nel cristianesimo delle origini, corrente che ammetteva il matrimonio dei sacerdoti. Menzionato per la prima volta nella Bibbia (Apocalisse... —off the Italian Encarta, but the rest is premium and I can't get to it. A Spanish source, Historia de la Iglesia says: La lucha contra el Nicolaísmo tiene que ver con una referencia al Ap 2,6, que era interpretado por los gregorianos como una referencia al celibato del clero. [4] [5]. Notes from a university course: "Nicolaism (after Rev.2.6,14- 15). Clerical marriage, especially in rural areas, a matter of general acceptance by the C11th." [6]. —Muke Tever 16:31, 19 February 2006 (UTC) It seems that Nicholas II, Pope from 1058 - 1061 was the first Pope to argue for reform against clerical marriages. I have included a quote from the on-line Catholic Encyclopedia. (dont know how to do external links) but the reference is "New Advent - The Catholic Encyclopedia" see the articles on Nicholas II, Gregory VII and celebecy. This quote comes from the article on Nicholas II.

'Early in his pontificate he had sent St. Peter Damiani and Bishop Anselm of Lucca as his legates to Milan, where a married and simoniacal clergy had recently given rise to a reform-party known as the "Pataria". A synod for the restoration of ecclesiastical discipline was held under the presidency of these envoys who, in spite of a tumultuous uprising which endangered their lives, succeeded in obtaining from Archbishop Guido and the Milanese clergy a solemn repudiation of simony and concubinage.' Gregory VII was the next Pope and it would seem that his proscriptions were a follow on from that of his predecessor. I think that this would be a more accurate derivation of the term, although it is not used in the encyclopedia at all. I am satisfied with this etymology, but will await consensus. Regards Andrew massyn

Yes, I ran across that information about Nicholas II. Given that 1) no source cited so far links this Nicholas to the etymon of Nicolaism, and 2) it seems highly unlikely that -ism—which when applied to names means following that person's doctrines or practices (Marxism, McCarthyism, Hamiltonism)—would be applied to the person who was against the practice, I decided not to offer it as a possible etymology. Compare simony, a term often occurring alongside ‘nicholaism,’ also named after a person who practiced it, not a person who condemned it. —Muke Tever 23:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Well I am humbled after all! I went to the local University, who went to the OED and Lo! Nicholaism is derived from Nicolaitanism which comes from Nicolatian. So this is the etymology will be putting in. According to Oxford, the Reverend Cawdrey (1604) held that a Nicolatian 'is an heretike, like Nicholas, who held that wiues should bee commmon to all alike' Where the Rev. Cawdrey got his info from is beyond me. Regards Andrew massyn

հայ

Etymology
From.

Noun

 * 1) Armenian

Adjective

 * 1) Armenian

Etymology
The origin is. The stem of the word is, as evidenced by the o-type declension.

According to Diakonoff, the ethnonym derives from, , from ; compare. This name was given by Urartians to all lands west of the Euphrates, including the territory around Malatya occupied by Proto-Armenians. When the Urartians were assimilated among the Proto-Armenians, they took over their Indo-European language and called themselves by the same name of the “Hittites”.

On the other hand, Martirosyan connects with the country name Hayaša- and derives both from. He explains Hayaša- as “the land of metal or iron” and as “inhabitant of the land of metal or iron”. Hayasa, located on the north-western corner of historical Armenia, was famous for metalworking. The connection with Hayasa is repudiated by Kitazumi, pointing out that the Hittite word is attested over twenty times and written in such ways that it can only be read Ḫayaša- but with the sound inventory of an anlauting  would represent a better fit.

An old proposal derives the word from 🇨🇬, but a 🇨🇬 would yield 🇨🇬: compare.

Armenian tradition connects the word with the nation's legendary eponym.

For the other names of the Armenians see 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.

Talk:standee

Origins
Does anybody know when the word 'standee' was first coined? I am convinced that this was a term invented by the bus company to cover up a tragic misprint on their notices. A misprint resulting in either a lack of space for the sticker, or somebody chuckling to themselves as they play the most subtle prank ever devised on humanity. -An_User

I'm telling you, I'm not crazy. This is how the word was coined. And if you eat milanos, hate Microsoft, use Gentoo Linux, encourage capitilism over socialist idealogies, and believe Fox to be unbiased, then yes, I am talking directly to you.

 * The stated etymology is sound, unlike your silly Michael Moorish propaganda. - TheDaveRoss

 * The etymology is correct, but I have not seen the word used anywhere other than a bus. Therefore, I believe that they were the first people to use 'standee'. And as for the other points, they're merely serving as an inconspicuos reference to the person who I brought this up with, eg, I prefer Ubuntu to Gentoo (and capitilism over socialism, though I'd much rather have anarchism). -An_User

minor point
it seems hardly worth the trouble, but i think there are two etymologies .... -ee in the passive sense for the bus rider, and -ee in the diminutive sense for the cardboard popout. One would normally expect "standy" or "standie" but sometimes we use -ee as a diminutive for no discernible reason. Anyway this also appears in cutouts from children's popup books.— Soap — 11:58, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
 * actually, this would mean two different pronunciations, so i might split them after all. i just need to make sure "standee" really is just a fancy spelling for what we would normally expect to see as standy or standie. — Soap — 09:14, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
