Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Frazmi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Frazmi~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:47, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:spruce

This used to be in Category:Polish derivations, but if I understand Webster right, then it would be a just a mispronunciation of Prussia. Hence it is not derived from a Polish word. henne 12:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * According to English historian Norman Davies (in his book God's playground: a history of Poland) word spruce is a derivation from Polish z Prus - from Prussia.

RFD
Rfd-redundant: (Adjective) Made of the wood of spruce. I think this not the only way that "spruce" is used attributively. For example, "spruce forest", "spruce needle", "spruce cone", "spruce bark", "spruce pest". If we are to include attributive use we need to include a more inclusive sense such as "being of or related to spruce". Of course, both senses probably should be deleted, monolingualexically speaking. DCDuring TALK 19:12, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm tagging and adding the adjective sense "Being from a spruce tree" to this rfd-sense, and saying "delete" for it, too. —msh210℠ 18:43, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * This should be at RFV to look for citations right? I generally thought stuff that's plausible as a true adjective goes there, and stuff that isn't gets deleted immediately. Mglovesfun (talk) 07:51, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Moving to RFV. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:55, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

RFV
Rfv-senses: Originally at RFD, moved here as adjectival use is a matter of attestation. Usually. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:57, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Made of the wood of the spruce.
 * 2) Being from a spruce tree.
 * I don't know what counts as an adjective in English. In Swedish we make compounds for things like "spruce table" (of the wood) and "spruce cone" (from the tree). But anyway, these examples are easy enough to find on the web, just like "pine" table/cone and "oak" table/leaf. --LA2 19:04, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * English adjectives gives a bit of guidance. Compounds like you mention aren't (necessarily) using the word as an adjective; you can't say *"this cone is spruce", for example, as you'd expect to be able to if "spruce cone" simply meant "cone that is spruce" (with "spruce" meaning "from a spruce tree"). —Ruakh TALK 19:14, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * But can you say "this table is oak"? And is that guiding the fact that oak is listed as an adjective? --LA2 21:59, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * This is just like the discussion about some of the senses of brass at . OneLook dictionaries don't have adjective senses for these. I'll bet the OED doesn't either (but only at even money). DCDuring TALK 22:08, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * @LA2: Your questions make me think that you're taking "oak" and "pine" to be confirmed adjectives, and asking how "spruce" is different? (Am I right?) If so, I should clarify that I'm not sure that "oak" and "pine" are adjectives, either (at least in the relevant senses). —Ruakh TALK 21:53, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's what I'm asking. I have no real clue what counts as an adjective in English. Why is expired listed as an adjective, but exposed just as a verb form? Why is oak listed as an adjective, if spruce doesn't qualify? --LA2 16:00, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Two reasons IMO
 * There are as yet 'unofficial' tests at WT:English adjectives that some words will meet and someone won't
 * We're inconsistent on everything due to several reasons, like lack of contributors, personal opinion, etc.
 * Mglovesfun (talk) 16:22, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

z Prus
In Poland, It's commonly said that Spruce comes for zPrus (Polish for "ꜱᴛʜ from Prussia") I am a Green Bee (talk) 19:36, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Etymology
The etymology in the main article is confused and mostly incorrect.

To cite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spruce#Correct_Etymology :

„ Correct Etymology

 * The name of the tree spruce comes directly from the Polish phrase “z Prus” (from Prussia). In the Middle Ages, the Hanseatic merchants from the region of Praussia (which was part of the Kingdom of Poland at that time) brought goods (including Spruce wood) by ships to many ports around the Baltic and the North Seas. They did not speak the languages of the countries they brought the goods to. They were trying to communicate using the Polish language and the usual phrase they used was “z Prus” to inform the local merchants that they came from Prussia. After a while the English merchants picked it up as the name of the tree the Polish merchants brought and called it „sprews” then “Spruce”, which is pronounced exactly as the Polish “z Prus”. The etymology in the main article is wrong. There is no reason why the name of this tree would come from French 98.7.12.219 (talk) 19:45, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

 * That is indeed correct. The word "spruce" traces its etymology not from the French word "Pruce," as is commonly and mistakenly believed, but rather from the Polish phrase "z Prus," meaning "from Prussia." This correct origin, emphasized by the esteemed English historian Norman Davies in his authoritative work "God's Playground: A History of Poland," highlights the linguistic journey from the Middle Ages' Hanseatic trade. Polish Hanseatic sailors and traders, when asked about the type of wood, would reply with "z Prus," referring to its Prussian origin. Over time, English adapted and morphed this phrase into "spruce," signifying not just any wood but specifically the spruce tree. This transformation showcases the profound influence of trade on language, debunking the lazy explanation that links the word to French origins. Davies' research offers a more accurate and credible account than commonly referenced sources like etymonline.com, underscoring the importance of historical and linguistic precision in tracing the roots of words in the English language. 46.205.140.25 (talk) 20:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Also, as stated in the main article, the word spruce (spuse, sprws) originally has been the term for all kinds of goods brought to England by Hanseatic merchants from Prussia (part of the Kingdom of Poland at the time), which is a direct evidence that the origin of the word is the Polish phrase "Z Prus" literally meaning "From Prussia". etymonline.com has been known as a not very credible source of etymology, of which this case is a perfect proof. As a side note, etymonline.com is a commercial website having the quantity a not quality of content as its main interest/goal. It shouldn't be a respected practice to use etymonline.com as a source of citations.
 * It is a common notion among Polish and English historians that the Polish Hanseatic merchants did not speak much of English and they used the Polish phrase "Z Prus" to inform potential buyers that they are bringing their goods from Prussia, which was the region in direct vicinity of the Polish Hanseatic port of Gdansk.
 * It's about time someone updates the etymology section of the main article. 46.205.140.25 (talk) 19:26, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Noun

 * 1)  A compass installed in the cabin so that the captain or other officer may check the course of a ship without going to the deck; often upturned and suspended from the ceiling.
 * 2) * To my great surprise, however, when I emerged from my state-room and caught a glimpse of the tell-tale compass hanging in gimbals in the skylight opening of the main cabin, I saw that the ship was heading to the eastward! — Harry Collingwood, "The Pirate Slaver", 1895
 * 3) * The captain was quick enough, racing back to the companion and down the stairs in two bounds, where, although the cabin was half full of water, he contrived to wrench away the "tell-tale" compass that swung over the saloon-table; and he was on the poop again with it in an instant. The instrument, however, was heavy, but he had hard work to carry it with both hands; and he managed to get to the side with it. — J.C. Hutcheson, "Teddy", 1887

 * now seems sufficient as I've made it more flexible but with the same default values;, the n seems to be for 'normal' and already covers it;  is for variants which use -hi for the plural instead of just -i. That said, none of the three templates, for some reason, doesn't allow the masculine and feminine plurals to be different to each other. Is that because no such adjective exists? Hopefully, but I doubt it. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:53, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

about me
I am working in the IT-business in quality management. Also see my blog. The first wiki article I wrote, was kind of much work. I thought at beginning it would take just 30 mins. I had everything prepared in notepad, but there has to be considered many things when writing a wiki-article. And then when I reached the neutrality point, I realized, what I wrote unconsciously in the article. So, lots of work at first, but now with time I get faster :-)

Do you think you can not change something in the world? It is so simple, just remember: if you help someone, this can cause a chain reaction. If everyone, who gets help, helps 3 other people we can change something/quality (not only for software) in the world.

examples: Muhammad Yunus had a small, easy idea, which helped to change the world. Confucius (450BC): "Tell Me and I Will Forget; Show Me and I May Remember; Involve Me and I Will Understand."

We can do the same. What is wrong being part of this movement NOW ? Just do it!

Talk:running

There are no listed countable variants of the gerund running. I'm not a linguist, but I am a computer programmer, and I have test platforms that perform multiple runnings of our test suite every evening. This sense is subtly different from "multiple runs": the former implies sequential execution, and the later could allow for synchronous (though it isn't implied) runs. I can't tell if this is personal practice or if it is more widely accepted. --Speed8ump from 207.235.66.3 01:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tyrano. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tyrano~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Talk:倭

"倭" and "矮”
The　two share near sound productions and letter shape. Thus some misunderstand the essence of meaning. Ref. 康熙字典　http://www.kangxizidian.com/kangxi/0109.gif --Lulusuke 04:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) 矮 : dwarf,short
 * 2) 倭 : docile

 * As far as I know, the situation is like that described in Wa (Japan). A printed Japanese kanji dictionary I have also says that they are sharing the origin and the meaning of "dwarf, short." The both meanings seem to be OK. --Tohru 08:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi !.
 * First, please show your source in detail.
 * sencod, Why do you delete "Old meaning in 康熙字典".

 * Thank you --Lulusuke 15:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * If you want to dispute the sense, talk here, or add and follow the instructions. Note that it is not terribly useful to have this level of debate over the "common meaning"; the definitions should be for the languages in question. Robert Ullmann 14:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK I see. But why do you delete my  references?
 * Are neither the references nor grounds important?--Lulusuke 02:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Anyway, Lulusuke, we greatly appreciate your contribution. Though you might be right in all aspects, at the moment I'm just not so sure if we should remove the definition. The dictionary I mentioned above is 改訂版 漢字源 . You can see a quoted definition of 倭 from it on a blog . The study of 甲骨文字 was started 100 years after the compilation of 康熙字典, and since then it seems that a considerable part of it has been rethought. Therefore it is not so surprising if you find additional definitions on those modern dictionaries. --Tohru 16:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know the Gakken's dictornary. I have and read it. But I've 6 other dictornaries, and they don't say "dwarf, short". And I look Korean and Chinese dictoranries
 * :: Yes, I know the Gakken's dictionary. I have and read it.

It's very easy and convenience to use online dictionary. But I've another over 10 dictionaries, and they don't say "dwarf, short". And I look Korean and Chinese dictionaries, they also don't say "dwarf, short". To looking and search a dictionary is very important. But to look ONE dictionary may be danger. Thank you. --Lulusuke 02:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Look http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~massange/cgi-bin/iroiro.cgi/lingua/zh/wo1.htm --Lulusuke 14:49, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Please show the examples what you addressed as "dwarf,short" in historic literary works and documents. --Lulusuke 02:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I checked several dictionaries, and have not found any reference to a classical Chinese work in which 倭 has a meaning of short. There are some websites that put forth the theory that 倭 came to be associated with the meaning of short, because of the short stature of Japanese (or because of the short knives that the Japanese were famous for at the time).  I have not been able to verify this with any ancient works.  If anybody finds something, let us know.  For now, I'm not including short as a meaning in the Mandarin section. -- A-cai 10:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I have deleted the "short" or "dwarf" meaning as it is wrong and there is not a single source that support that. If someone has a source about that, please include a link on the talk page.--AsadalEditor (talk) 12:29, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Negative interpretation when using this word to call modern Japan
Shall we add a usage note that using this word to call modern Japan may be considered negative? Likewise, most Chinese people tend to consider 支那 (Shina (word)) negative when calling modern China.--Jusjih 16:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Rfv-sense for "docile" reading, as it's uncited and not in the Unihan database. Bumm13 (talk) 22:17, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Apparently derived from the ' definition: "順皃. 从人委聲. 《詩》曰：“周道倭遟. ”" Some interpret (eg. ') 順 as "along, following, in the same direction as" to explain the quote of  in that definition (倭遲: winding, circuitous), while others explain 順 as "docile, submissive" (see ).

RFV discussion: May 2019–May 2021
Currently the article 倭 states that the meaning is "dwarf". That is not correct. The meaning is: "submissive, docile, obedient", "bowing; bent over" or “distant” and or was used as the early name of Japanese (Yamato?). This needs to be corrected. I wanted to correct that, but was reverted and it was explained that I have to do a request for verification first. The "dwarf" or "short" meaning is this: 矮

, any other active Chinese editors --

The MDBG and Unihan entries both list "dwarf" as a meaning for this character. My dead-tree copy of the defines  only as, so I suspect the "dwarf" sense might be obsolete, or at least archaic.

The nominating editor,, appears to have shown up to contest these two entries on April 27, 2019, and then vanished again.

Could any of you weigh in with your expertise? Does our 🇨🇬 entry need updating, perhaps with labels? And does our 🇨🇬 entry need any work?

 * I would help but I don't currently have access to any professional monolingual hanzi dictionaries. The basic resources I can access don't support the "dwarf" reading. ---> Tooironic (talk) 23:17, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

 * The Oxford Chinese Dictionary (牛津英汉汉英词典) defines it as "dwarf" and "short" and gives 倭刀 "short sword" as an example for "short" (though Guoyu Cidian defines 倭刀 as a kind of Japanese sword). I cannot find this sense in other dictionaries (modern or ancient). To me, it seems to be what I've heard this as what people claim to be the "original" meaning of the word, but I'm not sure if we can find actual uses. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 23:22, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Thank you both. FWIW, my (somewhat fuzzy) memory of past readings into Japanese armaments suggests that Japanese swords in antiquity may have commonly been somewhat shorter than those used on the continent, with the exception of the longer  greatsword used by cavalry.  So the gloss of  as "short sword" or as "Japanese sword" would both seem to fit.
 * I did run across the Koolearn site's entry for 倭, which includes a sense for "short, dwarf, dwarfish", but I have no idea as to this resource's provenance, reliability, etc. I see the Kangxi page here, sixth character, but I confess that I cannot read enough of that to glean anything useful.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:42, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Shuowen gives "順皃" and Guangyun gives "愼皃" (愼 is defined as "遵循；依順" in one of the senses in Hanyu da cidian). So it seems "obedient" may be possible, perhaps with a zh-hd tag? ChromeGames (talk) 00:46, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks. However, I think Shuowen quotes Shijing, where this character is used in the phrase/compound 倭遲. It doesn't seem to mean "obedient", but something like "following/going along" a meandering path.

There is more at https://ctext.org/dictionary.pl?if=en&char=%E5%80%AD, with "Unihan definition:dwarf; dwarfish, short".

 * The 倭 in Shijing exists in the compound, which is perhaps a disyllabic morpheme, while the definition given in Shuowen is completely unrelated and unattested elsewhere. please don't add senses that lack quotations in monolingual dictionaries for Classical Chinese.

Talk:up

Usage as adjective
Since when is up an adjective?? I agree the described uses are adjectival, but it remains a preposition in all those cases, if you ask me. Similar with the noun case. henne 11:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I didn’t check all the examples very closely, but up is definitely an adjective in some of its senses. Some examples of up as an adjective: Riding the up elevator; I’m not up on current events; Your time is up; The jig is up; What’s up?; Are you up for a job?; The railroad crossing gate is up; I’m going to put my tent up before dark; The flower seed I planted last month is already up and about to bloom; Can’t you get your kite up?; The sun is up; I was up all night with a bad cold; and so on. The word up is (1) an adverb; (2) a preposition; (3) an adjective; (4) a noun; and (5) a verb. —Stephen 15:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Spanish word for up
The Spanish word for up is arriba. Although their are many Spanish words for up this is the one that came up first. --Stardust 13:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

What's up?
I think there may be another (adjectival?) sense of "happening", as in "What's up?", "I knew that something must be up". It only occurs in certain phrases, though.

Possibly so. It is an extension of the "next in sequence" sense, but seems to be different. Thanks. DCDuring TALK 01:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

idiomatic usage
UP is one of those awesome English words that have an extrremely rich set of associated idiomatic phrases and usages, many/most of which where once listed on the UP page, and have since been removed. Why? Surely one of the more important functions of a dictionary is to catalog such (delightful) richness of a language. May we not restore an idioms section for UP? Frankatca 13:39, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I concur. For example, "She up and quit."

 * Thanks for the comments. I don't normally delete anything without a really good reason and would never delete from up any related, derived, or "see also" terms that had "up" in them. The terms you remember are probably parceled out by part of speech (mostly adjective and adverb in this case) and put them under the "Derived terms" "show/hide" bar. I am distressed that you did not find them there. Some folks have warned me that people aren't used to the show/hides from other most other websites (but Wikipedia has them, too).

 * We seem to be missing the "up and Xed" expression which I am not sure exactly how to add it. It's a grammatically odd expression. DCDuring TALK 23:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

 * See up and leave. DCDuring TALK 23:06, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

 * See up and, which behaves in one type of usage as if it were an adverb. DCDuring TALK 01:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

As Expletive
What about the use of "up" in association with transitive and intransitive verbs where it takes the form of either an adverb or a preposition (hard to tell), but adds nothing to the meaning, hence is an expletive? "Wait up." "Slow up." (Synonymous with "slow down"!) "They stirred up the natives." "Scramble up some eggs." I don't see this covered anywhere in the entry.

Sometimes its function seems to be to lengthen a sentence that otherwise might seem too short to be proper, as in the 1-word imperatives. In other cases it seems to stand for an object's arriving at some condition, but one that is already given by the verb. But if there's any difference in the meaning of the sentence without the "up", it's very, very subtle. Unlike other expletives, I don't think its function is as a phantom entity, as the subject in "It is raining." It's certainly not of the Nixon Oval Office tapes kind of "expletive"! But it formally seems to have to be either an expletive, an adverb, or a preposition when used this way.74.90.250.120 20:34, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Up could be considered an aspect marker (See Grammatical aspect and Lexical aspect), indicating completion. "Wait up", in one sense, as a command, is a request that a person not merely wait, but wait until the speaker catches up (another example !) with the requestee. There are other senses of wait up: "Don't wait up. I don't know when I'll be home." DCDuring TALK 13:08, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

comparable?
I say that it is comparable. You say down is so this must be as well. He is higher up than you or he is further/farther up is correct isn't it?Jonteemil (talk) 23:34, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm totally lost. Which word + meaning is up in sentence like With 2:22 left in the first, the Blazers were up, 21-19.? Thank you. --Zvolte si prosím jiné jméno (talk) 10:19, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

 * It's an adjective. It means they were ahead, winning, or leading (in this case by two points). Equinox ◑ 14:12, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

 * I understand what it means. My question was rather about which of the many meanings listed in the entry page it belongs to. If it is adjective, is it meaning nr. 8? Larger, greater in quantity? Blazers were larger/greater in quantity? It doesn't sound quite right. Isn't maybe some other meaning which is not yet listed? --Zvolte si prosím jiné jméno (talk) 09:45, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Well, more or less that. I've added a second sense underneath to clarify. Equinox ◑ 15:00, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

RFV discussion: October–November 2020
RFV adjective sense:

 * Facing upwards; facing toward the top.
 * Put the notebook face up on the table.
 * Take a break and put your feet up.

Per Tea_room/2020/October, I am unconvinced that "up" is an adjective in either of these examples. Seeking clear adjectival examples, or consensus that the existing examples are in fact adjectival. Mihia (talk) 19:42, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I should mention that I did consider e.g. "The cards are up" meaning "The cards are face up", but I'm not sure whether we actually say this, or, at least, commonly say it. Mihia (talk) 20:38, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * People sometimes talk about dice as in, "it can be hard to tell which is the up side when rolling a d100". 76.100.241.89

 * Aha! Thanks for that tip. Searching for those keywords, I think I've [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=up&type=revision&diff=60974734&oldid=60974703 cited] this. I also cited and added a corresponding sense of down, "facing downwards". - -sche (discuss) 08:14, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks. Somehow I think it did not occur to me to look for examples where a side or a face is "up", only where the object itself is "up". Anyway, as far as I'm concerned Resolved. Mihia (talk) 10:41, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

RFC discussion: February 2013–November 2020
After working on this a while, it's getting harder to tell the prepositional from the adverbial from the nominal from the adjectival in all of the different sections (I may have actually made things worse). In addition, the role of the term in phrasal verbs doesn't seem to be explicitly addressed at all, which has to be confusing to people trying to look up the phrasal verbs by way of the parts. I realize such problems are rampant among entries for the ubiquitous "little words", but we might as well start somewhere. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:04, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Regarding "up to New York" (adverb #3), could we say that "up" is a preposition? I think that it goes like "I'm going [PP up [PP to New York ] ]" and not "I'm going [AdvP up ] [PP to New York ]" because we can say "It's up to New York that I'm going" and not *"It's to New York that I'm going up". Same as into which is just in + to. —Internoob 02:02, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * But consider: "We went up in the balloon for a one hour tour." Other prepositions that can follow up include on ("He climbed up on the roof." != "He climbed upon the roof." !!!), with, and over. The following prepositional phrase can be replaced by some locative expressions (eg, here, there, yonder). DCDuring TALK 13:22, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * A way forward for this may be to explicitly include (under the Adverb PoS, I think) non-gloss definitions for usage in phrasal-verb constructions, possibly as subsenses for any corresponding purely adverbial sense. We could then remove phrasal verb usage examples, ie, probably all usage examples involving the most common verbs and replaced them with less colloquial examples using multisyllable verbs that unambiguously do not make phrasal verbs [my hypothesis]. Also, all the usage example that involve synonyms of become need to me moved to the adjective section. DCDuring TALK 11:51, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

what does "up the par" means?

thanx

love + best wishes

Robinneke

 * Since it is an unusual construction, it could mean nearly anything depending on context. Par being the level you are supposed to stay below in golf, upping the par might mean to make something easier.  On the other hand, most uses I can think of would mean the opposite - that "upping the par" would be meant to hold something to a higher standard (forgetting that in golf, a lower par rating for the same challenge is inherently more difficult.)  In yet another context, it might mean that a choice has been made to move on to a more difficult challenge (a hole with a higher par is usually longer or more difficult, than one with a lower par.)  --Connel MacKenzie 03:04, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:un-

huh?
This page just doesn't seem right. How can adding un- to a verb denote absence, violation, or contradiction? How can adding un- to a noun result in a verb of reversal, cancellation, or release? Uncar, undoor? (Cage is a verb, I remind you.) And what about adverbs, or do the ones in question always derive from the adjective? 59.112.58.55 17:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree. This page makes very little sense.  You can't prefix just any word with "un-" to negate it (as this page implies.)  Words in Old English were perhaps negated this way, and many of them have carried over.  But this page is more of an obeservation about some occurences of "un-" than actually specifying what rules dictate when it can be used.  It should also caution against overuse; least the speaker/writer end up sounding "unliterate."  :-)     --Connel MacKenzie 01:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * wtf, this page makes no sense. its ridiculous that adding a un- to a verb or a noun is real. fuck this 139.98.2.57 08:49, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

How about systematic element names?
"un-" is used to stand for 1 when naming otherwise unnamed chemical elements. In other words, element 1,111 is ununununium until it is successfully synthesized and a name can be agreed on. Should this go under a Translingual section? 71.233.250.241 11:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added a third section to the English part. Do you think that the etymology is correct, or does it come from unnamed:? SemperBlotto 11:32, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I switched it to a translingual section, since it's just a way to generate a name from a number(222 would be bibibium or some such); I'm not even sure it(or at least its constituent parts) merits mention in a dictionary. BioTube 01:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Words from Chambers 1908
Here are some un- words from Chambers 1908. I have spent a lot of time on this dictionary and these are mainly gonna be words that I skipped because they are nonce words from a single author (Milton, Shakespeare etc.) or whatever. But I hate to delete anything. I apologise for some scannos.

unbe, v.t. to cause not to be.

unblenched, adj'. (Milt.) not startled or confounded. adj. unblenching, not flinching.

unchristian, [...] {coll.) improper, unusual. v.i.[???] to make unchristian.

unchurch, SENSE: to refuse the name of church to.

SENSE uncoloured / uncolored, adj. not coloured, undyed, white : truthful, not exaggerated.

untold: Not able to be counted/told
How does the prefix un- creates the meaning "not able to be" when added to a past participle? --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:38, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

 * "un-" meaning "not able to be" is pragmatic (defined by context), and not based on the prefix alone. This sense is specific to "untold" only.
 * I am going to mark-up that sense as literary, since I've only ever seen it in Lovecraftian and Gothic Horror (English literary and film genres). It's used in some videogames utilizing those genres (like Darkest Dungeon). PhalanxDown (talk) 03:40, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

un- is "inverse"
