The root still survives in the Dutch adjective noun. Compare and also 🇨🇬.

Talk:slang

Dutch pronunciation
Is the Dutch pronunciation /slaɳ/ or /slaŋ/? "ɳ" is a bit like the "ny" sound in "onion", while "ŋ" is the "ng" sound in the English word "slang". I have no knowledge of Dutch but it could be an error. — Paul G 16:17, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Apart from the vowel, it's pronounced like English ‘slang’. The vowel is like in ‘father’, but shorter, so an /ɑ/ not an /a/.

Pseudolanguage
A thought on etymology: I found myself in need of a name for likely-sounding words created on the spot to describe things when I can't think of a proper word; being of quick mind, I picked "pseudolanguage" this is almost as awkward to say as it is to type, so I tried to shorten it, several iterations later I arrived at "pslang". seeing as leading "p" is usually silent, I ended up right back at "slang". Your thoughts? {LSH}

 * Such a word is technically a nonce. -dmh 19:28, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Tramps
Do we really want to say "tramps"?? -dmh 19:28, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

German "Umgangssprache"
Actually "Umgangssprache" in German does NOT mean slang or dialect, but the language in everyday use. So just the opposite of what was stated here earlier. For the term "slang" Germans also officially use the English word "slang". Well, first letter capitalized of course ;)

(beeing a native German speaker myself, I stumbled over this entry when looking up some UK slang expression). Guido (from Krefeld/Germany)

Etymology
I've heared that the word slang came from the combination "soldier's language" --93.173.6.2 19:01, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Hebrew Lev
In case not already known, please be advised that the Hebrew-language word for heart: is Lev, which phonetically sounds very very close to the word love & Which may also account for the classical association of love with a heart-in the symbolically written form (when using icons, emojis & such).I definitely find (feel & think) that this "corelation" is NOT coincidental & definitely worth mentioning, adding/including (publishing) here on wiktionary pages! :) thank you.

AK63 (talk) 05:44, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

 * That's just a coincidence. The forms in the related languages show changes that would have to have happened before contact with Hebrew. Also, the concept of the heart being the seat of the emotions goes back a long way and is associated with many other emotions. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:04, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Well, what about dialects? I think they should be shown for they can be very different. I mean only the extra cases, in this case for instance Yorkshire where love is pronounced /lʊv/. See also: lovely. Sincererly Ferike333 15:27, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Neither for love nor for money
I always thought that referred to one of the earlier definitions of love, viz. that you might do something if you enjoy it, or you might do it if you are paid to do it, but in this case neither applies. --81.138.95.57 15:58, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

luh
luh seems predominant for the non standard pronunciation of (only the verb?) love. Likewise, final /v/ sounds are lost in many other words, but I do not know what phonological process this is --Backinstadiums (talk) 12:10, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Etym1 Verb
Quotations meaning 4, I am interested in the third quotation, as I would argue that was meaning 3, strongly inclined towards something, or meaning 1. To have a strong affection. Meaning 1 probably needs more quotations.

I wonder if meaning 4 is a more christian-centric view where love means something different to evangelicals? I understand the theologically pretty well, but not objective dictionary/wiki descriptions. If so, perhaps Lukan or Pauline meaning would be similar and should exist as a quotation, we currently have Matthew (sm. source to Luke's gospel – quoting Jesus) and John.

If you asked a theologian to define 'Christian love' they would immediately point you to Paul's epistle to the Corinthians "1 Corinthians": [4] Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, [5] doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;  [6] doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;  [7] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. [8] Love never fails... (I Corinthians 13:4-8a [WEBBE] - Public Domain.)

Thanks, J, 60.225.215.233 05:13, 31 January 2021 (UTC).

Countable
The first definition says the word is "uncountable" and yet some examples shown are clearly countable (e.g. "a mother's love"). Essentially there can be a subtle difference in meaning between the broader concept of loving things and the love of something specific. E.g.
 * "Love is a wonderful thing." - uncountable
 * "The love of oneself and the love of others are equally important." - countable

I started to change it but as this may be a little controversial I thought I'd post this thread.

-- MC
 * You can do that with any uncountable noun: "the water in the tap and the water in the bathtub are both warmer than the water in the bucket". Linguists call it the "". That doesn't change the uncountability of the sense as a lexical item. It does, however, affect whether the term as a whole can be said to have a plural- but we already have the headword template set to say "countable and uncountable, plural loves" Chuck Entz (talk) 03:56, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

or the guy who put it up cuz he's only hadda handful of edits. yeah. I hate when apparent newbies show up at 'pedia, too. anyway, word. I'm sure a google search does confirm. also talking to kids today would corroborate. I'm for real here. people use it. that's basically where it came from. hit up my talk if you don't believe me. thanks, Ish Mc  dzznology 04:17, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

i got here from some wikipedia backward music article where it said the word shit recorded backwards sounded like ish and ish became an euphenism for shit.. maybe u should add that

Noun sense
Also used as a noun:

"And who can listen without succumbing to the dizzying mixture of invention and description compressed into these ishes?"

In case someone wants to find more cites to substantiate this usage and add it.. --Ivan Štambuk 08:07, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Another usage as a noun is the Scottish legal use of 'ish', meaning the expiry date or termination of a lease, see.

Interjection
The first interjection seems to be quite similar to the adverb meaning in etymology 2, so should maybe be moved/merged there.

Also, I don't understand what the 1st etymology is trying to define - it makes no sense to me.

RFV discussion.
citations, regional? Multiple senses seem to overlap. The "adverb" and "adjective" would be indistinguishable from "-ish" in speech, so we need print citations. Is there a citable missing noun (="shit")? DCDuring TALK 12:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

New citation of this word usage:

Using -ish in a non-standard way as in "Good(ish) News from Procter & Gamble: No Ad Cutback Here"

 * I can not find evidence in b.g.c. (fiction} [423 raw hits for "ish"] for the purported adjective and interjection. Most hits are eye dialect for "is" (ish), the proper nickname "Ish", and the ubiquitous adverbial development of the suffix ish, but for which I have found only 2 cites in standalone use. I'd be inclined to keep the adverb and mention the potential broader use in usage notes. DCDuring TALK 12:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

RFV failed, adjective and interjection sections removed. —Ruakh TALK 20:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Expression of disgust
I gather that "ish" can be an expression of disgust. I saw a Web page stating that it is used in Minnesota, but I actually heard it years ago from somebody in Winnipeg (i.e. not too far away from there). I think it can also be spelled "eesh". I doubt the etymology is the same as the "shit" euphemism. It's probably just a sound, like "ugh". Equinox ◑ 22:32, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Created eesh. Is "ish" attestable? Equinox ◑ 23:59, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Many better libraries have DARE. DCDuring TALK 22:38, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Usage notes

 * When used on its own, this word seems to be used chiefly as a literary device for narration purpose (similar to modern ), and not as a word commonly used in the spoken language. However, when occurring in compounds (such as, etc.), it did seem to be used colloquially.
 * It did not seem to carry any inherent honorific nor pejorative function, so its connotation on its own was likely fairly neutral.
 * Although most attestations show its usage for males, this word was also used to refer to females, such as in Trương Vĩnh Ký's Tích Túy-Kiều (1911), which is a prose retelling of Nguyễn Du's Truyện Kiều:

Talk:phenomenon

The word phenomena is in EncycloZine.com! When we type phenomena, phenomenon come up; It's not what I wanted definded. What are the differentances between the too?

 * They're the same word; phenomenon is singular, and phenomena is plural. That is, you can have one phenomenon, but many phenomena.  —Muke Tever 17:34, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

RFV — passed
I don't understand the definition; MWOnline does not have it. It has been added together with this example sentence:
 * Rfv-sense: The existential reality of "something"; not "nothing".
 * The universe is a phenomenon, as is every particle of matter within it; that which is non-phenomenal does not exist because it is noumenon.

I would just delete the sense together with the example sentence. --Dan Polansky 18:04, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

 * It's probably not really attestable, let alone comprehensible. Maybe someone can edit into something useful; maybe it will just be deleted in a month or two. DCDuring Holiday Greetings! 18:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

 * As written, this defn is a not-very-successful attempt to articulate the philosophical sense of "phenomenon" (esp. German idealism, where the phenomenon/noumenon distinction is very important). Cleaning it up is on my list of things to do. -- WikiPedant 19:23, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, I rewrote the philosophical sense and added a couple quotations from academic journals. Reworked and added quotations for the other senses too. The entire entry is pretty much cleaned up and verified now, I think. -- WikiPedant 16:23, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * The quotes in and of themselves seem consistent with sense 1.
 * Anthony Flew's A Dictionary of Philosophy gives: "Any object or occurrence perceived by the senses. 1. (in Greek philosophy) Sensible appearance, contrasted with the real object apprehended by the intellect. 2. (in Kant) The object interpreted through categories, contrasted with "noumenon"."
 * I suppose a Kantian sense would only need a single citation from a well-known work of Kant, presumably in a well-known translation. Or is such a pregnant concept from notoriously dense prose inherently encyclopedic? I note that Flew's umbrella sense is a better worded version of sense 1. DCDuring TALK 17:52, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm sure the 2 quotations for sense4 are distinctly representative of constitutive idealism's use of the term, since they both highlight the constitutive role of mind in producing the experienced objects of the world. The Kantian sense given by the venerable Prof. Flew (who is most definitely not a Kantian) is actually a little too simple--In Kantianism, the categories are probably paramount, but Kant held that the phenomenal world is constituted by more than just the pure concepts of understanding (the categories).  I personally don't like to quote translations if I can find a native English equivalent, and Kant's influence is so extensive that that's not hard to do.  (And in Kant, the hard part is finding something that's even halfway intelligible to a non-philosopher.)  You are correct that there are other philosophical senses of "phenomenon" beside the Kantian.  Hegel and Husserl with his followers (the phenomenologists) had their own distinct usages (which I may add someday), but in general I think you are correct, DC, that it is probably fair to say the broad usage of "phenomenon" in non-Kantian and non-Husserlian philosophy is more-or-less adequately captured by sense1. -- WikiPedant 18:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:几

Does "different character in Japan" mean that 幾 and 几 are traditional/simplified in Chinese but different in Japanese? It's a little ambiguous. If this is the correct meaning then I think the "Alternate form" heading should move inside the "Chinese Hanzi" section, or the wording could be changed to "considered separate characters in Japan/Japanese" or "only in China/Chinese" or something a little more clear. — Hippietrail 07:09, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It's difficult to isolate this sense from actual sexual or "sexiness" senses, and from the general background noise due to these two words occuring next to each other without an idiomatic meaning.

Talk:einherjar

Does anyone know how this is pronounced? Specifically, is the  /dZ/ or /j/? --Vladisdead 15:03, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

well, in the original Old Norse, or modern Icelandic, the /j/ would definitely NOT be /dZ/. As for the modern English pronunciation... one never knows what you people come up with :)

From some -ā- stem + ; later interpreted as one whole suffix and used freely.

Usage notes

Many such words, however, can be either nouns or adjectives.
