Talk:couple

The etymology needs to be formatted correctly. — Paul G 10:00, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I have lived in the UK all my life, in fact I have only left the country a couple of times, but I have always taken the word to mean "about two", as well as "exactly two". Does any other UK resident recognise the claimed distinction between US and UK usage?  D b f  i  r  s   23:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Since no-one has replied in the past two years, I've made a small adjustment to reduce the claimed distinction. The restaurant example is inappropriate because people tend to visit such establishments in couples!  If you went to the pub with "a couple of mates", would there be exactly three of you?    D b f  i  r  s   14:37, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I've also lived in the UK all my life, and I would always interpret "a couple of" to mean two, rather than "a small number", which would be "a few" or something else. Purposely using "a couple" for a number known to not be two would be very strange. If this type of usage is common in the US, or maybe even parts of the UK, then maybe there is some regional variation. Using it to mean "roughly two" (for something that is measured rather than counted, really) may be OK, and is quite different, I feel, from a certain number that isn't two. The OED (entry not fully revised recently, admittedly) also doesn't mention it being used for anything other than two. All of the quotes listed (on here) for meaning "a small number" could in fact be intended as "two".

As for "a couple (somethings)" rather than "a couple of", I have only really encountered that on the internet, and definitely consider it an Americanism. The OED agrees here too.Yeryry (talk) 19:59, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Ambrose Bierce says it's a few
In "Write it Right", he gives this in his "blacklist": Couple for Two. For two things to be a couple they must be of one general kind, and their number unimportant to the statement made of them. It would be weak to say, "He gave me only one, although he took a couple for himself." Couple expresses indifference to the exact number, as does several. That is true, even in the phrase, a married couple, for the number is carried in the adjective and needs no emphasis. --Slashme 15:08, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

usage with verb in singular or plural form
Hej. I think this should be addressed somewhere, probably in usage notes.

I was surprised to read an episode title of Coupling (BBC Series): "The Freckle, the Key, and the Couple Who Weren't". So there you already have an example of couple being used with plural verb in BE (episode 20 here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Coupling_episodes). I was unaware this way of usage is possible, probably because in my native language it would always go with the verb in singular form. Here is an old discussion in wikipedias reference desk, that explains it as an AE/ BE difference : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Language/2010_August_6#.22The_couple_is.22_or_.22the_couple_are.22... so long … Fiiiisch! (talk) 23:54, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

RFV discussion: March 2016
Rfv-sense: Determiner. An example would be something like "How often did you go there?" / "Couple times"

I haven't found it called a determiner in OED or the OneLook dictionaries that use 'determiner' as a word class. We need to have citations for our claim that it is a determiner. DCDuring TALK 19:53, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

We have coupla as a noun, which it clearly isn't. DCDuring TALK 19:54, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

 * "couple times" is AmE. It is not valid in BrE. This should probably be noted against any definition. My impression (as a BrE speaker) is that "couple times" is a shortening of "couple of times" that has no grammatical explanation or justification. 81.152.230.197 20:33, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It's somewhat informal in AmE. I'd not be shocked to find it in the wild in UK, etc. DCDuring TALK 20:38, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * If it did occur in the UK, it would, according to my understanding, be interpreted either as an Americanism or as a mishearing or misunderstanding of the phrase "couple of ...".81.152.230.197 20:56, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Some recent examples from Google News::::For example: "Miraculously, after a year out, Hutchinson decided to return to the game, re-signing with Chelsea and featuring couple times in 2011-12, including his first Premier League start,"
 * (UK): "I guess the last couple times I've played here I've done pretty well, so I'm sort of going for three in a row in Dubai with winning here last year and then with the DP World at the end of last season," McIlroy told reporters in Dubai on 3 February,
 * About a death in Manchester: "Still remember the couple times I made sure you got home ok either with or without Ze Ze Solomon."
 * None of these are durably archived, but they do suggest that the Queen's spoken English includes determiner couple. DCDuring TALK 21:16, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Americanisms (as well as errors) do arise in BrE. However, they remain Americanisms (or errors) until such time, if ever, as they are generally accepted. I am not sure about Northern Irish English (yes, I know it is part of the UK). 81.152.230.197 23:04, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not exactly mainstream AmEng either. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 21:27, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Couple things: 1. It's exceedingly common in speech and in newspapers, especially in interviews. 2. It could be analyzed as an aphetic pronunciation of a couple. 3. Coupla can be analyzed similarly and looks more informal, though it honors the memory of of with an extra syllable. DCDuring TALK 22:35, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The very conservative AHD includes:
 * adj. Informal Two or few: "Every couple years the urge strikes, to ... haul off to a new site".
 * Their usage note includes: "The of in the phrase a couple of is often dropped in speech, but this omission is usually considered a mistake. In 2013, 80 percent of the Usage Panel found the sentence A couple friends came over to watch the game to be unacceptable."
 * Some style manuals rail against a couple of, which is at least obviously grammatical, because of its imprecision. Since precision is not a requirement and may be an impediment in normal speech, speakers have simply ignored the "rule" and gone further to eliminate the obvious, but cumbersome, grammaticality of a couple of in favor of (a) couple (adj.) and (a) coupla. DCDuring TALK 22:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I suppose couple could be a determiner ("two or a few; a couple of") of the quantifying variety. But it still needs cites. DCDuring TALK 22:59, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I have added a definition for determiner and one for adjective. There is no semantic difference, but there is a grammatical difference. The citations illustrate the difference, I hope. Could someone take a look? DCDuring TALK 23:58, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

a couple of
A couple of has been in standard use for centuries, especially with measurements of time and distance and in referring to amounts of money: They walked a couple of miles in silence. The phrase is used in all but the most formal speech and writing. The shortened a couple (The gas station is a couple miles from here), is an Americanism of recent development that occurs chiefly in informal speech or representations of speech. Without a following noun, the phrase is highly informal: ''Jack shouldn't drive. I think he's had a couple''. https://www.wordreference.com/definition/couple --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * She lives only a couple of miles away implies not only that the distance is short but that its exact measure is unimportant. Furthermore, a couple of is different from a few in that it does not imply that the amount is relatively small. One might say admiringly of an exceptional center fielder that he can throw the ball a couple of hundred feet, but not, except ironically, a few hundred feet, which would suggest that such a throw was unremarkable. This usage should be considered unobjectionable on all levels of style.
 * When a numerical term follows couple, the of versions consistently appear 30–40% more often than the of-less versions: a couple more shrimp is informal (neither ✳a couple of more shrimp nor ✳a couple more of shrimp makes sense), unlike a couple of shrimp more.  https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=couple --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:24, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Does "a couple of weeks" mean two weeks (couple in the sense of two of a kind, i.e. week) or does "couple" then mean something that is small but as large as 5 maybe? I am not sure whether I fully understand this right. It seems to be a timeframe with high uncertainty but still close to two, right? 194.62.169.86 13:45, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

have had a couple
Is have had a couple the idiom, rather than just have a couple? --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:00, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Etymology
In Siam, elephants were working animals. However, white (albino) elephants were considered sacred and therefore were not to be put to work.

Noun

 * 1) An albino elephant.
 * 2)  A possession that is unwanted or is a financial burden; an unprofitable investment.

ain't

Etymology
According to Etymology Online, the term was first attested in 1706 meaning, and it was used with that sense until the early 19th century, when it began to be used as a generic contraction for , , etc. in the Cockney dialect. It was then “popularized by representations of London cockney dialect in Dickens, etc., which led to the word being banished from correct English”.

The shift from to  parallels a similar change some dialects made to. In other dialects, the pronunciation shifted to, and the spelling , when used to mean “am not”, is due to the fact that both words are pronounced in some non-rhotic dialects. Historically, was present in many dialects of the English language, but not in the southeastern England dialect that became the standard, where it is only found in the construction.

As a contraction of and,  derives from the earlier form , which shifted from  to , and underwent h-dropping in most dialects.

Prime Symbol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_%28symbol%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_%28length%29

A foot (plural: feet or foot;[1] symbol or abbreviation: ft or, sometimes, ′ – the prime symbol) is a non-SI unit of length, in a number of different systems, including English units, Imperial units, and United States customary units.

Special use in Finnish?
I think it's also used in Finnish to separate parts of a loanword from the Finnish inflectional endings (or something like that): see e.g. parfait. Compare :, which can also turn up mid-word in Finnish. Equinox ◑ 06:03, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Usage in Italian
' is used in Italian as an emphasis when a grave accent (`) is unavailable. (Così = cosi', città = citta', più = piu').

 * 1977 — Here, for example, is a man who looks exactly like an officer on active service, and he has begun by recognizing himself in the Knight of Clubs; in fact, he has passed the card around for all to see what a handsomely outfitted mount he was riding when he left the barracks that morning and what a well-fitting uniform he was wearing, garnished with shining plates of armor, with a gardenia in the buckle of a greave. — Italo Calvino, The Castle of Crossed Destinies, Part 2, Chapter 4, 1969. Translated from Italian by William Weaver.
 * 1977 — Our staff officer sees coming toward him a Knight of Swords distinguished from the others by the elegance of his personal and equine equipment: his armor, unlike the others seen around, pieced together with oddments, is complete down to the most trifling detail and is all one color from helmet to greaves: a periwinkle blue, against which the gilded breastplate and shin guards stand out. — Italo Calvino, The Castle of Crossed Destinies, Part 2, Chapter 4, 1969.

Here in London we have lots of Government detectives and lots of private ones. When these fellows are at fault they come to me, and I manage to put them on the right scent. They lay all the evidence before me, and I am generally able, by the help of my knowledge of the history of crime, to set them straight. There is a strong family resemblence about misdeeds, and if you have all the details of a thousand at your finger ends, it is odd if you can't unravel the thousand and first."

 * 1977 — The alchemist is the man who, to achieve transformations of matter, tries to make his soul become as unchangeable and pure as gold; but there is the instance of a Doctor Faust, who inverts the alchemist’s rules, makes the soul an object of exchange, and thus hopes nature will become incorruptible and it will no longer be necessary to seek gold because all elements will be equally precious: the world is gold, and gold is the world. In the same way a knight-errant is one who submits his actions to an absolute and severe moral law, so that natural law can maintain abundance on earth with absolute freedom; but let us try to imagine a Perceval-Parzival-Parsifal who inverts the rule of the Round Table, knightly virtues in him will be involuntary, they will come forth as a gift of nature, like the colors of butterflies’ wings, and while performing his exploits with dazed nonchalance, he will perhaps succeed in subduing nature to his will, in possessing the knowledge of the world like an object, in becoming magician and thaumaturge, in healing the wound of the Fisher King, and in restoring green sap to the wasteland. — Italo Calvino, The Castle of Crossed Destinies, Part 2, Chapter 6, 1969. Translated from Italian by William Weaver.
