Category talk:English interjections

no

Good luck with this categorisation - you have given yourself a mammoth task here. — Paul G 15:09, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Yahoo
In my experience, I recall having heard "yahoo" being used as an interjection in the same context as "whoopee".

Can anyone else verify this and support my suggestion that this be added to the list here?

--Jaxhere 14:27, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I've since discovered that Yahoo is indeed defined as an exclamation and thus have taken the steps necessary to have it included in this category

--Jaxhere 16:21, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Whee
Why is "whee" not on this list?

--199.199.228.109 "Every man for himself" really doesn't seemt to fit in the category of interjection or exlamation. It is an entirely valid grammatical phrase with a clear meaning. Could someone clarify why the author of this article included a legitimate phrase in the list of English interjections?

lo
The list has "lo and behold", but not just plain "lo"

Started cat
I just created this cat (sorry forgot to log in) because it is linked from English wikipedia article on "interjection". (Weird that there is already talk on this page??) Donama 05:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * This category should not exist. This is the English Wiktionary, so English interjections should go into Category:Interjections --Versageek 05:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Category cleanup
From RfC

I think there are a number of terms that do not belong here.

The fact that an exclamation mark is used to end a sentence or phrase does not, in itself, make that sentence or phrase an interjection.

"Go to the dickens!" is a complete sentence (a verbal phrase in the imperative) so I don't quite see how this can be considered to be an interjection just because it ends in an exclamation mark. Similarly, although "Every man for himself!" is not a complete sentence, I wouldn't say it is an interjection. "Does a bear shit in the woods?" is another complete sentence, and is definitely does not belong in this category.

Ideally, I would like to see the part of speech "interjection" reserved for words that express an emotion and have no grammatical connection to the rest of the sentence (interjections in the purest sense), such as "oh!" and "phew!". It is not possible (or even practical) for us to be this strict, however, because there are some phrases that function like interjections, like "good riddance" and "for heaven's sake". Strictly, we would classify these as pro-sentences, but this is not a part of speech.

Certainly, however, some of the terms listed in Category:Interjections (and the corresponding category for other languages would more accurately be described as pro-sentences, verbal phrases or complete sentences.

See the Wikipedia article for more discussion. — Paul G 05:51, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I have come to appreciate this more and more. Some of these might even be called contractions, etc. See also Wiktionary talk:Interjections. DCDuring TALK 20:38, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Yup there's lots and lots of idiom which are certainly a different thing! Kathybramley (talk) 17:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I wondered about this myself. I noticed that instead of interjections, there were a lot of idioms, metaphores and slang expressions listed, not to mention non-English interjections. This definitely needs someone to edit this stuff out. All you have to do is read the definition given in Wikipedia as a litmus test to see if the word/expression belongs on the list. Rod Lockwood (talk) 19:30, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

foreign expressions
A lot of foreign expressions (Arabic, Hebrew, etc.) have made their way onto this page. I would suggest removing: Allah akbar/Allahu akbar assalamu alaikum ayubowan

Furthermore, many expressions listed are not interjections and should be removed: a little bit of bread and no cheese all hands on deck amirite

I don't want to delete them myself, as I think an editor should be entrusted to clean up the page! Cosmomontoya (talk) 09:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

This page needs a serious cleanup
Most of the terms are foreign that no native English speaker would use it, and some here are made up gibberish which no one has heard of

--Anon

Warning to anyone reading this article
This is a useless, garbage article. Many of the entries either do not actually exist, are defined improperly or poorly, or are just plain wrong. It also doesn't include many common interjections and is so long as to be a total mess. In reality this entry needs to be nuked, started over, and probably protected or at least better moderated. Again, especially if you are coming from another language, do not use this as a reference or a learning aid. You will do yourself more harm than good.

Talk:cute hoor

Is this a real word? — Hippietrail 23:31, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

-- Yes, but the explanation is terrible.

prostitute meaning.
I removed the prostitute meaning, as I am sure the term is never used in a sexual context, even though hoor is based on the word whore. If anyone finds cites for this, then feel free to put it back, but I think the listed def should remain as the main def, as it is common usage.--Dmol 19:40, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

It is insulting, but carries connotations of grudging respect. As a comparison, "lucky bastard."

Talk:mechanics

I looked up "Mechanics" in the Wiktionary to find out what it meant in the field of writing. What do we mean when we talk about the mechanics of writing? I did not find anything related to this idea. I assume it refers to the generally acceptable form or format of things that we write: words (spelling), punctuation, sentences, and paragraphs. Does it also refer to layout?

please create the page cosmomechanics; read from Google books, the term is very old
mechanics of the celestial masses and space-time

that definition is correct because a. it's also about groups of objects, b. the fabric of space-time is by no means excluded

Talk:g'day

In an Australian accent, wouldn't it be [gədæɪ]? --Vladisdead 03:15, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes except [] is for narrow transcriptions, the dipthong is using non-standard symbols, and it should have a primary stress mark on the 2nd syllable: /gəˈdeɪ/, /g@"deI/. A more narrow transcription might be [gəˈdæe], [g@"d{e] (Clark); or [gəˈdæɪ], [g@"d{I] (Harrington) but neither the Macquarie Dictionary nor the Collins Australian Dictionary use either of these systems. It could also be analysed that the /ə/, /@/ is elided completely. — Hippietrail 10:10, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Why the hostility to the inclusion of g'day as a New Zealand term? I think this shows nothing more than Australian ignorance. G'day has always been used in New Zealand, no less than Australia. Has anyone seen "Footrot Flats"?

Usage notes

 * Principle ("moral rule"), as a noun, is often confused with, which can be an adjective ("most important") or a noun ("school principal"). A memory aid to avoid this confusion is: "The principal alphabetic principle places A before E". Another well-known one often taught to schoolchildren is that the school principal is their pal (friend).

Are the "translations" actually in use in those languages or just transliterations? User:Tormod 4/15/04 too early to figure out the time
 * Yes, they are. 16@r 18:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Longman Pronunciation Dict. reads ˌændˈɔːr (ˌapples ˌand/or ˈpears) --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:10, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Ambiguity
It is also sometimes unclear whether three possibilities are meant, or only two. The less ambiguous way of expressing three possibilities is to use ‘X or Y or both’, while in many contexts, just ‘ or’ will do perfectly. Finally, and/ or linking more than two items is to be avoided at all costs. In two situations the ordinary sense of or does not accomplish everything we need. Both involve the level of exclusivity between the elements on either side of or. One comes up in the standard statement of punishment, “a $1,000 fine or a year in jail or both.” The other comes up when the choices are mutually exclusive. If that exclusivity is important to point out—if the judge must choose between a fine and jail, for instance—the writer may substitute but not both for or both in the previous example. --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

molinology

Etymology
Latin + -ology

The Portuguese molinologist Dr. João Miguel dos Santos Simões was the first to use and define the term "molinology" as:
 * "The description and the study of mills or other mechanical devices, using the kinetic energy of moving water or wind as a motive power for driving, grinding, pumping, sawing, pressing and fulling machines. More particularly, molinology aims at the knowledge of those traditional engines which have been condemned to obsolete by modern technical and economic trends, thus being a chapter in the History of Technology and part of the History of Civilization" (May 15, 1962, see Transactions 1st Symposium Molinology, Cascais 1965, p. 41). "Today we consider muscle-powered mills to be part of molinology as well".

Full discussion from rfc
This page has been on WT:RFC for two years. Time to clean it up. I think it is an adjective as it would describe for e.g. a battery or electricity itself. Regrettably I failed science at school, and that was a 30 years ago! So would someone with more nous than me please help. Ta Andrew massyn 16:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) (Chem.)  # (Chem.)  <-- this is a duplicate of the noun sense.''
 * 2) * Electro-positive. Having more protons than electrons.
 * 3) *{Positive electricity} (Elec), the kind of electricity which is developed when glass is rubbed with silk, or which appears at that pole of a voltaic battery attached to the plate that is not attacked by the exciting liquid; -- formerly called vitreous electricity; -- opposed to negative electricity.
 * 4) * Hence, basic; metallic; not acid; -- opposed to negative, and said of metals, bases, and basic radicals.
 * The noun sense is:
 * 1) Denoting an excess of protons; alkaline; charged.  Not negative or neutral.
 * Well, a cation is a "positive ion" - because it has more protons than electrons and therefore has a positive electric charge. "electropositive" has a different chemical meaning (tending to become positively charged). Rubbing with silk - I know nothing about! Hence, basic etc - this just seems wrong. The last line is either wrong, or adds nothing. SemperBlotto 16:43, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have changed the definition to physics rather than chemistry, put positive electricity as a ""see also"" to be developed later and struck the last nonsense base metals and basic radicals section for now. Thanks for the feedback.

Andrew massyn 07:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

The next question is # (Vehicles) Designating a method of steering or turning in which the steering wheels move so that they describe concentric arcs in making a turn, to insure freedom from side slip or harmful resistance. <-- this is a specific application of the fourth sense in the article. The fourth sense is # Progressing in a circular manner; motion similar to that of a clock. Andrew massyn 07:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the vehicular def is a bit wide of the mark: if a car is described as having positive steering, it means that it feels responsive and precise rather than soggy or indefinite. As such, it is an extension of sense 7, or it may be worth adding a new sense, for mechanisms etc: appropriate, definite, effective.  I'll look for some cites, but not today.

 * Positive steering does not mean that the wheels are all pointing exactly in the right direction. In fact it usually feels best when the outer wheels are set to point in a slightly tighter circle than is actually required.  Also, it is not the steering system which makes the wheels describe concentric arcs.  Euclidean geometry ensures that any wheels attached to a rigid chassis must do so.  They may or may not side slip to achieve this, but while they are attached to the chassis, the arcs must be concentric!

 * Positive is used in a number of expressions related to steering geometry, in particular, positive camber, positive caster, positive toe (or toe in) and perhaps positive lock or positive steer (more commonly oversteer). However, the camber and caster give no information re whether the wheels are being steered to follow concentric arcs, while positive toe, and arguably positive lock, imply that the wheels are actually being steered to deviate from the intended route, so that they can only follow the arcs which the rigid chassis actually constrains them to follow by side slipping and/or flexing their rubber tyres.

 * Also, positive feedback, occasionally suffered in front wheel drive cars when accelerating in reverse, or if there is a fault in power-assisted steering or there is negative caster, actually tries to pull the steering wheel to tighten the turn, so cannot be what is defined.

 * As for the more general sense 4 Progressing in a circular manner, I have never heard it. If an object is circulating, then in many cases, eg clocks, compass bearings, clockwise would be taken as the positive direction, and anticlockwise as the negative, but that is far from universal (eg it is not relevant to the defs of the angles for positive camber, etc above).  OED does not mention any sense of progressing in a circular manner, so unless someone else can find it used, I would omit it.  --Enginear 17:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the comprehensive response. I will delete the 4th sense for cars and the clock sense.(for now). Perhaps if you are feeling strong, you can add a vehicular def at a later stage? This really helped. Andrew massyn 18:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Positive motion (Mach.), motion which is derived from a driver through unyielding intermediate pieces, or by direct contact, and not through elastic connections, nor by means of friction, gravity, etc.; definite motion.
 * Positive philosophy. See Positivism.

There is a kind of small pipe organ by this name, and I assume in this case "positive" has the sense of "portable", that is, posited, or placed. 2001:8B0:CA51:919:85B6:BFDD:7968:260B 22:24, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

(Science, mathematics) quantifiable 2. (medicine) indicating presence of something

EN: Characterized by the existence or presence of distinguishing qualities or features, rather than by their absence.
Does "positive action" use the same concept — i.e. that doing something is a positive action, as distinct from the act of standing by, doing nothing? If so, the sense as written could be expanded to accommodate this. —DIV (49.186.112.234 06:46, 6 December 2023 (UTC))

Encyclopedic. Cut down to minimal definition. — Paul G 08:37, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

transcendentalism
Belief that deep truths are inaccessible to science, by definition (for reasons metaphysically causal and not practically accessible; due to the nature of the cosmos), and not because of the slow pace of accumulation of knowledge or due to human incompetence.

That's the modern philosophical question. Each society asks the same question but might change some aspects.

duellum

Etymology
From, further etymology uncertain.

Perhaps from, , cognate with 🇨🇬, ,.

See also, whence , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and others.

De Vaan instead favors Pinault 1987's proposal of a derivation from a diminutive of, i.e. , with the sense developing from an originally euphemistic use.

The initial of  changed to  in  (compare the change from  to, and  to ). See. The archaic form duellum survived in poetry. In Medieval Latin, the sense shifted to a combat between, specifically, two contenders, under the influence of the (non-cognate) word.

Pronunciation

In Plautus, who uses this form occasionally as an archaizing alternative to, duel- generally scans as a single syllable, implying a pronunciation with the original cluster /dw/. However, in Amphitryon 189 (quoted below), if the manuscripts are not corrupt, the scansion with /du/ may occur (du.ël.lo‿ex.stinc.to). But an alternative explanation is that this line starts with dvel.lo.ex.stinc.to, with hiatus rather than elision of the final -o.

The innovative pronunciation with /du/ occurs in Ennius' Annales ("Hos pestis necuit, pars occidit illa duellis") and in the works of subsequent poets such as Ovid, Horace, and Statius.

Noun

 * 1)  war
 * 2)  combat between two contenders, duel

Talk:Dutch

In Flanders they speak Vlaams which may be considered to be a part of the Nederlandse language. It is however different. In the Netherlands we would not say they speak Nederlands. To me it means that Dutch has two translations for the Nederlandse language Vlaams _and_ Nederlands. GerardM 09:05, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

RFC
Added rfc because of slightly unusual format translations. Also languages need dewikifying.20.133.0.14 15:14, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

But the Dutch language IS spoken in Flanders ánd in The Netherlands. We have exactly the same grammatics and rules. However the pronounciations are slightly different and in the day-to-day language there are used sometimes slightly other words. But the basics are identical.

RFV discussion: February–July 2014
RFV-sense "A German." This was originally classified as a proper noun, right next to the sense "the people of the Netherlands", so it's possible that it was intended to say "the German people". That might be citable. But if "Dutch" can be cited as a common noun (presumably inflected like "one Dutch, two Dutches"?) in any meaning, I expect it to be in the meaning "a person from the Netherlands". Actually, suggests that lowercase 'dutch' has more meanings than our entry currently accounts for. - -sche (discuss) 09:35, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Not going to comment on the grammar of it, but I believe this sense is from English speakers commonly confusing the words "Dutch" and "Deutsch". Pengo (talk) 02:35, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually I disagree, Dutch originally referred to Germans and other Germanic peoples before being eventually restricted to the Netherlandish. --WikiTiki89 07:29, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Right; Dutch referred generally to all continental West Germanic-speaking people before distinctions were made between the ones from the Netherlands and the ones from Germany. This is reflected by the obsolete sense 1 of the adjective and the obsolete sense 2 of the proper noun. But as a common noun, Dutch was never a count noun meaning "a German", though the Dutch could presumably be used to mean "the Germans", or rather "the continental West Germanic-speaking people(s)". —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 17:25, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, the non-collective noun sense sounds odd to me and I very much doubt its existence. --WikiTiki89 20:13, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think it's quite common to say things like "There were twenty Dutch, thirty French, and not one English". --WikiTiki89 20:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Failed. — Ungoliant (falai) 02:15, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Comparable
Certainly something can be "more Dutch" than something else. The question is only whether it can be "Dutcher". It's found, but I think chiefly in humorous use. 77.13.49.118 20:03, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Pejorative
The same word in Gaelic as "tuathach" means leader, and as "tuatach" means the same thing as the pejorative sense of common.

Maybe the pejorative sense is a native German/English/Saxon/Teutish sense? Similar to "common" and "vulgar" and "popularly" and "folksy"? 121.127.214.82 14:03, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
