Usage notes
I've undone the reversion of my edit of 17 Jan, on the basis that my edit was made in good faith and no reasoning is given for the reversion. If there is a genuine difference of opinion on what the second usage note should say then I'm happy to discuss. 62.30.205.46 18:09, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Can u Give examples of those nouns formed from verbs by the suffix -ess. AsaP

-or as a "feminizing" suffix?
The suffix "-or" is listed under "Synonyms" as being a "female suffix", just like "-ess". Is this a mistake? The others are pretty obvious (e.g., -a, -ette, -euse, -rix, she-), but I can't come up with an example for -or. Can someone else? - dcljr 01:15, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the contributor's idea is that now, because a female can be called an actor, -or is a feminine suffix. Obviously it is now both a masculine and a gender-neutral one. DCDuring TALK 02:15, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

what
"Not to be confused with -ness, especially in words like lioness, baroness, etc."

you literally listed LIONESS as an example of -ess suffix which it is

and when you click the "-ness" you're not supposed to confuse "-ess" with, you get to -ness suffix in darkness, calmness etc.

what

 * It's saying not confuse words that end in -n that are given the suffix -ess to have the suffix -ness. E.g. it's lion + -ess, not lio + -ness. Baron + -ess, not baro + -ness.

-esses: reduplicated plural
In the Sussex dialect, however, until relatively recently there existed a reduplicated plural: e.g. one ghost, two ghostes/ghostesses; one post, two postes/postesses (note that here the Sussex pluralisation instead of adding just 's' after 'st', adds either 'es' as its usual plural, or a reduplicated 'esses'.

Thesaurus talk:vagina

El corte inglés
This is stated as being Portuguese, and meaning "the English cut". Would anyone disagree with me if I changed it to "Spanish, meaning 'the English court'", as I'm pretty certain that's the case? I mean, if we're going to be vulgar, let's be correctly vulgar ;-) UrsusMaximus 21:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC) Go for it, 'be bold' MGSpiller 01:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes I'd disagree with you. Unless you can provide examples, references, etc., to prove that

el corte inglés =spanish= the English court

then, I'd agree with you. I mean, I could be Portuguese & mean what the definition defines it as.

Some comments on this from a reader: "The English Court" would translate to Spanish as "La Corte Inglesa" (fem gender.)  "El Corte Inglés" would translate to "The English Cut" as in the "cut" or style of a suit (if this is the meaning of the original sentence). Without the context it would be difficult to determine what is means by "cut."

As to the German lemma "vagina": nouns begin with capital letters: Muschi, not *muschi. Other synonyma would be: Mumu, Pflaume, Pussy,...

RFC

 * "From: WT:RFC"

Is this what WikiSaurus entries look like now? I haven't been there for a while and I'm surprised at what is happening. No alphabetical order. Misspellings, "the" included in wikification (eg, "the matrix" for "the matrix", and a free-for-all of unattested protologisms and other nonsense. This reminds me far too much of Urban Dictionary*.

This needs a thorough going-over. — Paul G 09:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

* I see from that Urban Dictionary is out as a book... oh no, all those protologisms are now in print and have been given an air of legitimacy! How long before they get submitted here with "well, it's in print, so it must be OK"? — Paul G 09:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Perhaps we should revisit explicitly prohibiting UrbanDictionary nonsense. Like the "Sniglettes" book from a few years ago, their entries are mostly intended as jokes.  Perhaps we need a better classification for that kind of "publication."  --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * WikiSaurus entries are many and varied in format. Some attract a lot of dubious words, but others are developing seriously. Some need extensive cleanup, others do not. I'm interested in what TheDaveRoss is heading toward with WikiSaurus:book. So, don't get distracted by those very, very popular entries such as WikiSaurus:vagina. Or try cleaning them up a bit like WikiSaurus:breasts--Richardb 05:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not in a position to address this (first time wikipedia edit, no account = can't edit main page?), but I wish someone would look into including links to "yonic" and "yoni" here. It's essentially the feminine equivalent for "phallic/phallus", and sadly not well known. Reference: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yonic and  http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yoni

To the portuguese part
Hi im brazilian, and i could'nt help but notice you have forgotten the word "buceta" in the portuguese part. It is sort of equivalent to cunt in weight and meaning, bt if yuo included cunt already i see no reason why not... I mean no harm or anything.

Front bottom
I would say to either include 'front bum' or replace 'front bottom' as front bum is more common

Wikisaurus:vagina Some new more spanish used aceptions
Hello this are some words that are used too in some regions of spain. + chocho ( junior version of senior "coño" - similar as cunt) + chichi + chirri + parrus (no translation) + felpudo (near english translation "doormat") + bizcocho ( like sponge cake, by the texture) + potorro (no translation) + cucaracha ( cuca abbreviated - english translation "cockroach" - due to the dark color) + patata (potato, by the form) + castaña (chestnut - by the form and color) + babosa ( slug - by the humidity) + fafarique (and antique word usage) + chirla ( a sister of "almeja" - clam ) + ostra (oyster - by the similarity with oyster/pearl(clitoris) -> ostra/perla(clitoris))

You need to add "wizard's sleeve", "axe wound", "whispering eye" and "Clunge"

"girl penis"
If this is a real term, wouldn't it refer either to a transgender woman's penis (cf. ), or alternatively perhaps to a clitoris? It seems unlikely that this means vagina, but I could be wrong. 70.172.194.25 06:39, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

 * "mooshoo" is also questionable, and I would apply rfv-term if this page weren't protected. 70.172.194.25 06:41, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

RFV discussion: January–February 2023
Rfv-term for girl penis, life force, mooshoo (cf. moo shu and its alt forms), and moocha in the sense of "vagina", for which I was unable to find persuasive evidence. I can't add the template as the page is protected. Also see my comment on the talk page.

Notes on some other synonyms that I'm not currently sending to RfV (but others can do so if they want): 70.172.194.25 05:43, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * engine doesn't have the sense on the page, but it's in Cassell's Dictionary of Slang. Cassell's gives dates but not quotations; I was unable to locate the uses on my own, but I didn't try very hard.
 * foo-foo/fufu doesn't have the sense on the page, but it's in Cassell's and searching for "her foo-foo" on Google Groups brings up some examples.
 * Grand Canyon doesn't have the sense on the page, and Cassell's and Partridge only have the sense anus/rectum. But searching for "her Grand Canyon" on Google Groups brings up at least a few uses that seem to unambiguously mean "vagina", e.g.,,.
 * monosyllable. To be clear, not in the sense "the word cunt", but the referent of that word itself. Most of the hits for ["monosyllable" "vagina"] are dictionaries or mentions. There is no dearth of sources claiming this is a legitimate Victorian term. That said, finding it in use is proving more difficult, at least with the sources I have access to. In the first ten Google Books results pages for "her monosyllable", the only hit I noticed that was a reference to genitalia and not a literal utterance was this 2011 romantic novel.
 * strange has a sense "Sex outside of one's current relationship", and Cassell's provides the meaning "an unknown woman, usu. in a sexual context". Partridge is similar. It's quite possible that the semantic range of the term extends to the female genitalia, but if it's only used as such in contexts like "get some strange" where the currently listed sense applies, then it's iffy to list as a synonym of the body part. That said, I didn't look too hard for this.
 * twinkle in this sense seems rare, but I found at least one relevant hit on Google Groups and one on the Web (other than the Swedish song given as a usage example).

 * I think we might be able to just remove redlinks without a vote, since in a recent edit we removed quite a few redlinks from thesaurus:urinate. However the only discussion I found was quite old: Wiktionary_talk:Criteria_for_inclusion. — Soap — 13:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

wowser

Etymology 1
From UK dialect. In the pro-temperance sense, Australian from early 1900s.

John Norton, an early enemy of wowsers (temperance sense), claimed it to be an acronym for "We Only Want Social Evils Remedied", but that is likely a folk etymology.

A story has it that gospellers in the streets of Clunes, Victoria in the 1870s were called rousers but one of the town councillors had a speech impediment and couldn't pronounce his "R"s, thus giving wowser. (Reference: Bill Wannan, Australian Folklore, Lansdowne Press, 1970, reprint 1979 ISBN 0-7018-1309-1, under "Wowser", page 568.)

Noun

 * 1)  One with strong moral views against excessive consumption of alcohol, gambling, pornography, etc., who seeks to promulgate those views.
 * 2)  A lout or similar disruptive person.
 * 1)  A lout or similar disruptive person.
 * 1)  A lout or similar disruptive person.
 * 1)  A lout or similar disruptive person.
 * 1)  A lout or similar disruptive person.

Category talk:Chinese hanzi

Would someone like to sort these by radical, as is done in Category:Japanese kanji? - dcljr 22:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Aaah
My God this category is such a mess. Who's volunteering with me to help clean it up? ---> Tooironic 01:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Vietnamese Han tu to Category:Vietnamese logograms
All of these categories represent the same thing, except that they all use local names for them. Using a common name would probably be beneficial. —CodeCat 13:12, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Logograms? No, "logogram" is very generic and is not used to refer to characters in each of these languages. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 14:04, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Abstain. Maybe the word sinogram could do the trick? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 14:13, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The point is to make it generic so that it can be applied to multiple languages. What reason is there for using different terms for each of these? Is there an essential difference between Kanji and Hanja other than the language? —CodeCat 14:22, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * There are differences but the problem is with the naming. 漢字 or "Han character" is what is common for hanzi, Hán tự, hanja and kanji. I suspect there will be opposition from editors of CJKV languages. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:21, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * But if we are going to include the script name, then should we have separate Category:English Latin letters, Category:Russian Cyrillic letters and so on? —CodeCat 14:32, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * We could just do this only for languages that have multiple scripts. --WikiTiki89 14:50, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Then it would not apply to Chinese. —CodeCat 14:54, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * "Han character" is the most common and neutral translation of 漢字 from all CJKV languages without stressing "Chinese" (if it's causing any problems), even though 漢 means Han/Chinese. Sino-Xenic languages use Han (or Kan in Japanese) prefix to refer to the Chinese layer of their respective languages. @CodeCat, I don't get the joke about Category:Russian Cyrillic letters :). You seem to contradict yourself. It's you who are asking for the merger. There still will be Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese in the cat name, it's just the 2nd part, which is currently different. "Logogram" doesn't describe well the role hanzi/kanji, etc. in these languages. "Sinogram", although uncommon is the closest equivalent. Han characters have long deviated from the original solely logographic usage. Han characters are very different from other logographic scripts. There are a lot of phonetic elements, mixed and the original meanings are often lost or unknown. Although JKV languages have their own, home-made Han characters, especially Japanese and Vietnamese, they all have Chinese origin by nature and design. Japanese also differs from other Sino-Xenic languages in the way kanji are used to write native words and attach parts of the word in kana. There is hardly an equivalent of Japanese kanji. I think Japanese editors/users will oppose referring to "kanji" as "logograms". Perhaps "kanji", more than hanzi/hanja/Hán tự has become a too common term to be replaced with something else. I think it's better to move or link this discussion in the BP to make it more visible. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:12, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose, agreeing with Anatoli. User: PalkiaX50 talk to meh 00:19, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * My reasoning for calling the categories "logograms" is that they are then parallel to categories for other kinds of written symbols, like Category:English letters and Category:Japanese syllables. I'm not sure what the benefit of including the name of the script in the name is. Your proposal, to name the categories "Han characters", is parallel to having categories like Category:English Latin letters or Category:Russian Cyrillic letters. That is, a category that includes the name of the script, and contains only the characters in that one script. So what I wonder is, why do we not include the name "Latin" in Category:English letters, but we do see fit to include various language-specific names for Chinese characters in the category names? It's not very consistent. —CodeCat 00:18, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm, they are called hanzi/kanja/hanja/Hán tự (Han tu) here because they are called so in the native languages and by linguists who work with these languages. ("Hanzi" is less settled because of the variety of transliterations and topolects in Chinese, e.g. Cantonese would be "hon3 zi6" in Jyutping and "hon jih" in Yale transliteration.) I personally don't see the problem in using "Chinese" or "Han" in the category name because this is what they are normally called as. We can't call them "letters" because they are not. "Han character" is the term parallel to "letters", "symbols", "syllables" if we need a generic term for all 4 CJKV languages. You seem to dislike it simply because it contains a language name. (I'm not voting yet on "Han character" categories, I need to see a broader discussion on this, I'm just saying it's the only common and correct term for this, IMO.) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:34, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, people don't call them "Han characters" most of the time, they just call them "characters". In the same way that people say "what letter is that" when pointing at A, they would presumably say "what character is that" when pointing at 漢. So should we call them Category:Chinese characters, Category:Japanese characters etc? That might be too broad... —CodeCat 00:41, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, characters are too broad and using "characters" may be used to refer to Chinese, since only Han characters (hanzi) are used, it's obvious and "hanzi" is rather new. For Japanese and Korean, it becomes immediately wrong to use simply "characters" because katakana, hiragana and hangeul are also characters. "Han characters" ARE quite common but less common than kanja/hanja/Hán tự and, as I said, for Chinese, people refer to hanzi as simply "characters" because it's more obvious (it's the only script for the language, unless you talk about say, mixed Min Nan text with hanzi and pe̍h-ōe-jī, then you have to be more specific) and Chinese themselves usually simply use 字, which is not the case with other JKV (字 is also too generic and may also refer to e.g. Roman letters in different contexts). --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:11, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's why I suggested using "logograms". It's equivalent to "letters". It's not used as often, no, but for lack of a better word that generically describes the type of character like "letter" does, I'm not sure what else we could use. Maybe we should consider just what use Category:English letters is supposed to convey. Is it the fact that it's, specifically, an alphabetic character, or is its main use to hold characters used for writing words? If the latter is the case, then maybe we should move all the "letters" categories to "characters" and then, for languages written in multiple scripts, subdivide by script. So then we would have Category:Japanese Han characters and Category:Japanese Hiragana characters, and they would have the generic Category:Japanese characters as their parent. —CodeCat 01:17, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I'm a bit lost in your logic. The same way "Han characters" can also be subcategories of "character" categories. Why? There's no reason to invent something, which is not normally used, just to avoid the commonly used terms, which seem less politically correct(?). I liken this to inventing "Old East Slavic" term instead of "Old Russian", which even contradicts the naming in the East Slavic languages themselves and most other languages, cf. "Oudrussisch" in your native language (which didn't simply copy the term from English). --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:39, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * And I'm a bit lost trying to explain it, sorry. I'll try to reword it in a more step-by-step way.
 * Right now, we have various categories with different names, which all contain the same basic thing: characters in the Han script.
 * When we look at what categories other languages use for their characters, things are very different. For languages written in alphabetic scripts, there is only a "letters" category, with no mention of the script.
 * Thus, my initial thought was to make the Han character categories match that, and I came up with "logograms". "Logogram" describes the type of character, just like "letter", so it is parallel and fits well alongside it.
 * But as others have said, quite rightly, the name "logogram" itself is not widely used, and is therefore less informative. So I wondered what other ways we could change our current category names so that they are more similar across languages.
 * And so, I suggest that for all languages, characters used for writing words in the language are placed in a generic "characters" category, which is itself a subcategory of "symbols" (the top level). The "letters" categories would thus be renamed to "characters" in all languages, including English. A would go in Category:English characters. Chinese characters would, appropriately, end up in Category:Chinese characters.
 * For languages like Japanese or Serbo-Croatian, which are written in multiple scripts, a subcategory for each script is created. This would give Category:Japanese Han characters, Category:Japanese Hiragana characters, Category:Japanese Katakana characters and also Category:Serbo-Croatian Latin characters and Category:Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic characters.
 * Is it more clear this way? (Also, just to note, we have too) —CodeCat 01:53, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

 * We already have Category:Han characters, which can be a subcategory of Category:characters. Category:Japanese hiragana sounds much better than Category:Japanese Hiragana characters and it still can be a subcat of Category:characters, even if it's missing the word "characters". I'm not sure if the community accepts renaming "letters" to "characters" for Latin, Cyrillic, etc, based languages. Category:Han characters is better than Category:Chinese characters as an umbrella term for hanzi/kanji... for CJKV languages. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:45, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

 * The problem with trying to generalize is that Han characters are the product of the writing system evolving over thousands of years in very complex ways until the result is impossible to categorize. A character can be a word, a syllable, a morpheme, or an idea- but it's usually some combination. Unlike in most writing systems, characters are made up of recognizable parts that can be combined, so that a given character may have a parts that are phonetic and parts that are semantic. In Japanese, it gets even more complicated, with many successive borrowings of words and their native equivalents all spelled with the same characters, but pronounced differently, depending on the context. Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and all the dialects of Chinese share enough letters that many chunks of text can be read by all, but when read aloud they can be completely unintelligible between languages. Or there can be a thread of related sounds shared between the languages for a given character. The only comparable phenomenon I can think of would be the cuneiform system, and that's been dead for millenia. Sure, you could call them logograms, but you would also have to call them syllables and/or morphemes and/or particles- it varies unpredictably. I vote for avoiding that whole tangle of intertwining possibilities and just calling them Han characters. Chuck Entz (talk) 09:07, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's why I think simply "characters" (preceded by the language) is the most general. But I agree that people might not like renaming Category:English letters. I'm just not sure. Are Han characters really that unique that they would deserve their own name in Module:category tree/poscatboiler/symbols? I'm not really happy with Category:Chinese Han characters standing on the same footing as Category:English letters, because the former says specifically what script the characters belong to while the latter instead specifies what class of writing system they belong to. My main aim is to make the names generic enough that they can be reused easily by many languages, but also to make the category tree internally consistent. So either all the categories specify the class (letters vs. logograms), or they all specify the script name (Han characters vs Latin characters), or do neither (just "characters"). But I suppose if there is no other sensible way to do it, we'll just have to settle for "Han characters". It's still better than all the language-specific names. —CodeCat 20:29, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Category:Chinese Han characters can be a subcategory of Category:Chinese characters, which would be on the same level as Category:English letters. That way JKV scripts (katakana, hiragana, hangeul), including Han characters end up on the same level as Category:Chinese Han characters. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:02, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I oppose moving these categories. Virtually no one says "Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese Han characters" or "Vietnamese logograms" (search in Google Books). "Chinese Han characters" sounds redundant and contrived. Wyang (talk) 23:40, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Could you not have said so before I did most of it already? *sigh* —CodeCat 01:18, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * In addition to opposing the moves, I also oppose you starting it when nobody has voted support. --kc_kennylau (talk) 01:43, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Then what about the whole discussion that followed, in which the conclusion was, it seemed, that "Han characters" was ok? There was no further comment on that so I assumed it was ok. —CodeCat 01:49, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, people do not dislike Category:Han characters, but Category:Chinese Han characters is not brought up until 2014/08/12 20:29 (UTC), and then Anatoli says that this category can be parallel with blah blah blah, without ever mentioning his support. PostScriptum: I prefer the word "sinogram" if the categories have to be unified. --kc_kennylau (talk) 01:59, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I personally warmed to the idea of "Chinese Han characters", which essentially means the same as "Chinese hanzi", even though "Han=Chinese=Sinetic". My preference is also hanzi/kanji/hanja/Hán tự but if we need to merge them into one category, "Han character" is a better translation of all these. Merging would also possibly allow us to eliminate cmn-hanzi, hak-hanzi, yue-hanzi. I didn't express support but just mentioned that Han characters, IMO, is a better term than logogram. "Sinogram" is also correct but it doesn't seem as common as "Han character" when referring generically to Chinese characters. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:12, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

What distinguishes these two? —suzukaze (t・c) 03:31, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

 * We have Category:Latin script characters and other subcategories of Category:Characters by script.
 * To follow suit, maybe we should merge Category:Chinese hanzi and Category:Chinese Han characters into Category:Chinese script characters Category:Han script characters. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 03:35, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose merging both into the already existing Category:Han script characters as it is for all hanzi, while the two being discussed here are for Chinese hanzi only. —suzukaze (t・c) 04:00, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Allright. Apparently, these two categories are for single-character entries. We have Category:Japanese terms written with one Han script character, so these could be merged into Category:Chinese terms written with one Han script character, and we could populate Category:Chinese character counts like Category:Japanese character counts. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 04:04, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose this one too since Japanese entries have Category:Japanese Han characters, for any kanji used in the Japanese language (regardless of whether it can be used independently as a word or not), while Category:Japanese terms written with one Han script character is for words that feature only one kanji, such as . —suzukaze (t・c) 04:17, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

If there is no meaningful difference between these, I propose keeping Category:Chinese Han characters as it is managed by and merging Category:Chinese hanzi into it. —suzukaze (t・c) 04:17, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

 * , is there a difference between Category:Chinese hanzi and Category:Chinese Han characters, or can Category:Chinese hanzi be merged into Category:Chinese Han characters as suzukaze proposes? - -sche (discuss) 00:27, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

 * They can be merged, IMO. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:52, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

There seems to be no notable difference between the two categories so they should be merged I guess. Ffffrr (talk) 21:40, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Update? For reference, it looks like the "Chinese hanzi" category is populated by this code in Module:zh-pron. 70.172.194.25 00:21, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

 * @Theknightwho @Wpi Any objections to merging these two categories? Seems like everyone so far agrees in merging. Benwing2 (talk) 06:46, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Move
I have moved this back to "Chinese hanzi", because auto cat now supports "hanzi" as an alias of "Han character", and "Han character" is an awkward name that only makes sense in a language-neutral context. Theknightwho (talk) 00:17, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

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 Ridge Racer. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ridge Racer~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.

Wiktionary talk:Semantic relations

Layout
This is a very interesting addition. Why was WS:ELE changed to reference it? There does not seem to be consensus that anyone will use the extra breakdowns even if they are correct. On the other hand, synonyms and antonyms are touted in the very first sentence of Main Page.

While the academic value of this page is not questioned, the value of trying to force additional headings onto the community accepted layout format is. --Connel MacKenzie T C 07:16, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * These new headings are not expected to be widely use. They are more here for completeness and for people that wish to be more specific. Since there are AFAIK no consenus on how to be more specific I saw no real harm in adding the page as well as the link to WS:ELE.

 * The reasons that I didn't discussed it first are:
 * I don't see this as really controverial. People that disagee with details are welcome to make changes as well as discussing it after the fact.
 * It is one thing to go against consenus, it is quite another to decide on your own to fill in the holes. Wiki* projects are primarily about doing and only secondarily about discussing.

 * That said I'm very happy that I finally got some reaction. Good or bad. --Patrik Stridvall 09:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

WordNet citation
A reference should be added to the WordNet project (see Princeton_wordnet), from which this list of semantic relations was presumably derived. --Tomasohara 18:33, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Level of "Semantic relations" header
Examples contain level 3 and level 4 headers: ===Synonyms=== ====Synonyms====

But, in really, level is 4 or 5 are used. Level 5 is used in case of several etymologies (see e.g. Synonyms in lead).

So, examples should be corrected. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky 08:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I noticed this too. Since all entries have at least "Language" (level 2 heading) and "Part of speech" (level 3 heading) hierachy; this leaves a minimum level 4 for adding the "Synonyms" and similar headings. I've fixed inconsistencies in the examples. — Nvtj (talk) 13:28, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Holonym/Hypernym
These (and their associated entries) need to be cleaned up and expanded to explain how they're supposed to be different from one another. As it stands, the only difference seems to be that the word hypernym exists and holonym doesn't, outside us and a cite-needed Wikipedia stub. Even granting holonym's existence arguendo, it doesn't seem like a very useful distinction to bother with some entries having sections for superordinate-category/object-without-discrete-parts versus superordinate-category/object-with-discrete-parts. It's useful to note, e.g., that Tartary was a larger space inclusive of Manchuria but seems needless to call it a "holonym" when the OED's definition for "hypernym" (and ours) works just fine. The territory which constitutes Manchuria also constituted territory within Tartary. — LlywelynII  12:27, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

User:Wietsezuyderwijk/Taalbeurs/Ideeën over orde

10 ideeën om orde in de klas te creëren of te behouden

 * 1) Zorg dat één ieder in staat is om mee te doen; zorg dat leerlingen niet achter kunnen raken, bijvoorbeeld door:
 * bij elk onderwerp weer de basisvaardigheden en -kennis te behandelen;
 * het niet te moeilijk te maken.
 * 1) Zorg dat niemand zich gaat vervelen, bijvoorbeeld door:
 * opdrachten te maken waar de leerlingen hoogstens 75% van af hoeven te hebben én deze opdrachten een oplopende moeilijkheidsgraad mee te geven (zorg dus dat ong. 25% te moeilijk is voor de gemiddelde leerling).
 * het niet te makkelijk te maken.
 * 1) Zorg dat je lessen dynamisch zijn, bijvoorbeeld door:
 * jezelf te trainen in improvisatie;
 * te kijken welke stof je kan laten vallen (75%-25%-principe);
 * 1) Zorg dat je les gevarieerd is, bijvoorbeeld door:
 * meerdere onderwerpen te behandelen;
 * meerdere soorten werkvormen te gebruiken.
 * 1) Wees duidelijk, bijvoorbeeld door:
 * duidelijk aan te geven wat de functie is van datgeen dat je vertelt (organisatorisch, inhoudelijk);
 * duidelijk aan te geven welke instrumenten je gebruikt om ordeverstorend gedrag te lijf te gaan;
 * duidelijk te zijn in je uitleg.
 * 1) Wees consequent, door:
 * iedere leerling hetzelfde te behandelen;
 * in te spelen op ELKE vorm van onwenselijk gedrag (hoe klein ook);
 * 1) Zorg dat er geen discussie kan ontstaan, bijvoorbeeld door:
 * onderbouwing te geven bij antwoorden;
 * de vragen zo gesloten mogelijk te maken;
 * duidelijk aan te geven wanneer er tijd is voor vragen of opmerkingen.
 * 1) Laat duidelijk weten in hoeverre je studenten kan helpen met persoonlijke problemen.
 * 2) Maar probeer niet te ad hoc in je reactie te zijn.
 * 3) Zorg voor samenhang tussen wat je zegt en hoe je non-verbaal overkomt (vermijd incongruentie tussen verbaal en non-verbaal gedrag).

Talk:gerente

My purpose towards the Wiktionary is to help mostly by adding Portuguese words to it, with their translations into English, as well as additional information, whenever possible, such as definitions, synonyms, pt interwikis etc. The present article is "gerente" (manager, in English). I now wonder if this article is comprehensible, with a proper format etc. If there is still some problem, please let me know. Suggestions are always welcome. Waltter Manoel da Silva wten -my talk 23 January 2006  14:40  (UTC);

From WT:RFC
Strangeley formatted. What does s.2g mean? Does the word mean manager or administrator or both? SemperBlotto 14:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll do it for you.
 * Language at level 2
 * Part of speech at level 3
 * Put plural with headword
 * Synonyms at level 3, each one with a * not a : (we don't normally have synonyms for foreign words, but there's no reason not to)

SemperBlotto 14:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Hm, I have from time to time added Swedish synonyms, and no one has even mentioned it to me... \Mike 15:08, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Same here. I see nothing wrong with it. Translations to other languages for foreign languages is one thing but synonyms... If you are at at say a English word and click on the Swedish translation and read the definition and say no that is not quite what I looking for, having a few Synonyms to click on would be useful. Listing all possible translations into Swedish on the page for the English word would be insane. --Patrik Stridvall 18:56, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * The 's. 2g.' apparently means substantive of 2 genders, i.e. it's of common gender (using the same form for both masculine and feminine referents, and changing gender accordingly). —Muke Tever 17:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Muke's right! Comum de 2 gêneros is an expression commonly seen in Portuguese dictionaries. We display it in this way on pt.wikt, but I'm not sure about what would be the best solution for en. "m and f"? -- Leoadec (talk) 18:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that's what is for - this means "common gender", and is used, for example, in Dutch and Swedish, I think.  Languages such as French and Spanish that have the same form for a masculine and feminine adjective (eg, libre in both of those languages) should use m and f as there is no concept of "common gender" in those languages, as far as I am aware. — Paul G 17:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Given that Portuguese is from the same family of languages as French and Italian, m and f would seem to be appropriate. — Paul G 17:24, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
