Talk:advice

I don´t know if the sillyness in this one had to be removed. Humor was allowed as far as I understood. Anyway, it was not me who put it in there and maybe it doesn´t have its place in a dictionary, so it doesn´t matter to me what happens with it.Polyglot 16:50 Apr 26, 2003 (UTC)

I added the definition of advice as counselling to perform a specific legal action. Actually that is not what legal advice is, but the pre-existing definition made it sound as if legal advice could only recommend an illegal course of action. Maybe some people think of lawyers like that? ;-) Proper legal advice does not recommend any course of action, it just illustrates the consequences of various options. EdH (talk) 01:48, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I need to find some sources but I believe advice was a merged etymology with the French "to see" and the Turkish "vizier" - a helper/minister. A total coincidence as the one who sees/the seer is associated with the Mesopotamian adviser to the king.
 * Etymology[edit] From Ottoman Turkish وزیر (vezir) (Turkish vezir) (plausibly via French visir, vizir or Spanish visir), from Arabic وَزِير (wazīr, “helper, aide, minister”, literally “one who bears (the burden of office)”). Doublet of wazir. Chloez12 (talk) 23:55, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply] Chloez12 (talk) 23:57, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Etymology
From, from , from , (compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 (dated, wie is generally preferred today), 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬), from (compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬), from , whence also.

Usage notes

 * Was is colloquially used with prepositions, chiefly but not exclusively in southern regions. Otherwise it is generally replaced with a pronominal adverb containing (or in a few cases ). Hence: Womit hast du das gemacht?, instead of Mit was hast du das gemacht?, and  instead of wegen was.
 * The genitive case, and the dative case if necessary for clearness, can be paraphrased by means of . Possessive genitives are more commonly paraphrased with . It is also possible to use the genitive form, but it wouldn't be used in questions such as Wessen ist das? because here it would be understood as the genitive form of.
 * The colloquial was meaning "something" can only be the first word in a sentence if followed by an adjective: Was Wichtiges fehlt noch. Otherwise the full form etwas must be used: Etwas fehlt noch. The reason for this is that the latter sentence could be misinterpreted as a question if was were used.

Usage notes
Notes on the verb węsen (to be): In recent times (~1800) the old subjunctive wer is used in place of was by many speakers. This might be the old subjunctive which is now used as a preterite or a reduction of weren, which is the preterite plural indicative of the verb. It might also be an imitation of the High German cognate war. Many smaller dialectal clusters do this, but no dialect does it. That means: even though there are many regions within e.g. Lower Saxony that use wer for was, maybe even the majority, there is no straight connection between them, i.e. which form is used can depend on preference, speaker and specific region. Due to this "one town this way, one town that way"-nature of the situation no form can be named "standard" for a greater dialect, such as Low Saxon.

Talk:was

2003
Although increasing in height and growth in height are correct translations fo the Dutch verb wassen and noun was, I think they are too restrictive. An example: when we speak of a wassende maan, we don't mean that the moon increases in height, but that the illuminated hemisphere of the moon as seen from Earth becomes bigger. Perhaps grow, rise, increase, become higher and/or become bigger would be better translations. D.D. 19:40 Apr 26, 2003 (UTC)

You are right. I should have thought of the expression with the moon. It is only commonly used in relation to water and the moon though, as far as I know.Polyglot 19:50 Apr 26, 2003 (UTC)

Well, there is also the expression uit de kluiten gewassen, and AFAIK it's not wrong (though maybe a bit obsolete) to speak of wassende planten (which, of course, is connected to the noun gewas). I'll let you decide how you want to adapt the article. D.D. 19:59 Apr 26, 2003 (UTC)

Used as slang for "were" in UK
Circa 2004, the company where I work employed a woman who would gossip on the phone with her friends, and who on learning what they had done would cackle, "Oh, was you?" (i.e. "were you?"). Heard it again in the pub today, something like "when you was at the bar". These people must know that it's ungrammatical, but they use it anyway. So I think perhaps "was" is gaining a slang sense of "(you) were". The register would be similar to "ain't" and the like. Equinox ◑ 17:14, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, I've heard it ("we was wiped"). Mglovesfun (talk) 17:22, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Now added as "proscribed", with a citation (from lower-class speech) from Arthur Conan Doyle. Equinox ◑ 09:11, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

 * A late addendum, but I think this is quite a bit older than the last few years. Author Patrick O'Brian based his Aubrey / Maturin books as much as possible on period sources from the times of the Napoleonic wars, and usage like "was you" shows up in quite a few places.

Usage notes
In cases where both "what" and "which" are possible, with similar meaning, "what" is preferred for open-ended choices, while "which" is preferred for choices from a closed group or set. For example, "Which one of these do you want?" not "What one of these do you want?".

As used to begin an exclamation, and  are largely interchangeable, with a few exceptions: is another word used at the beginning of a sentence to form an exclamation (How quickly he ran!), but it modifies different syntactic elements (verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and certain determinatives).
 * Nouns modified by such need not appear at the beginning of the sentence: She sings with such passion.
 * such requires that the noun phrase it modifies be gradable in some way. Such a disaster! is acceptable because a disaster may be minor or major in degree, but Such a movie! is not (except with the unusual meaning that the movie under discussion has especially "movie-like" qualities).
