Talk:伝言を頼まれる

It is a sentence, not a word!―219.173.119.42 03:55, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 This is true. However, as an idiom, it deserves an entry in the wiktionary.

いくつになっても
I assume that entries may be nominated here on the grounds that they do not constitute good phrasebook entries. The category boiler describes the phrasebook entries as "Non-idiomatic phrases in Japanese that are used in common situations, and may be useful to language learners or travellers." This phrase meaning "however old one may be" does not seem to be particularly useful to travelers, and it's not bad for language learners but it's about as helpful as most other non-idiomatic phrases. It's about the same as the English phrase "however old one may be" for learners of English.

In my opinion the phrasebook needs more than just one entry's worth of attention, so while we're at it I'd like to mention these others:

 * 争いが収まる for fighting to be settled (useful only to pugnacious travelers)
 * 行き付けの場所 one's favorite place (this is not especially common)
 * 夫に良く仕える be devoted to one's husband (In years I have never once had occasion to say this)
 * 神に仕える serve god (probably covered by other phrases related to religion, and this is not such a common expression)
 * 護衛を付ける provide with a bodyguard (who uses a bodyguard?)
 * 肉が付く gain weight (this is not so common--people actually say 太る)
 * 敵に付く take the side of the enemy (again for the angry travelers)
 * 帳簿に付ける enter in a book (not so common)
 * 帳面に付いている ditto
 * 伝言を頼まれる be given a message for someone (This was only useful before cell phones, and besides that I have never heard this in my life)
 * 値段を高く付ける put a high price on (not so common)
 * 二君に仕えず not serve two masters (not exactly a useful expression, and the register is formal or literary)
 * 箱に収まる be stored in a box (not very common or useful)
 * 明治天皇の代に under the rule of the emperor Meiji (even if you talk about this sort of thing, this was a long time ago)

Haplogy (話) 15:56, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete all. Some of us would say that just being in the phrasebook qualifies an article for deletion. --WikiTiki89 16:24, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Some don't count. The phrasebook was kept by a vote (Where is it now? Shouldn't be too far away). Phrasebook entries are considered for deletion like any other entry - case by case. As for the entry above - delete. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 12:21, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't have a strong opinion on phrasebooks in general. I nominated those because in my opinion they fail the criteria of our phrasebooks.  There are many better phrases, the ones which I did not mention above, which you might find in a dead-wood phrase book.  Greetings or common expressions like お疲れ様でした or 頂きます seem appropriate and I am not proposing that they be deleted.  The ones above, however, are neither useful nor common.   I'd say they'd even impede communication more than help it.  Haplogy (話) 14:55, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Move 行き付けの場所 to 行き付け, as you can say 行き付けのカフェ. Keep 二君に仕えず or move it to 二君に仕える. Delete the rest. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:25, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Deleted all uncontested entries. I leave 行き付けの場所 and 二君に仕えず to our wise friend T AKASUGI Shinji, to deal with as he sees fit. Striking as closed. bd2412 T 16:48, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Formatting
Connel, I am not sure the sample sentences are supposed to be italicized. All I found was an instruction, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Entry_layout_explained that bolding be used on the main word. --HiFlyer 04:52, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Must've recently changed. I'll go take a closer look.  Thanks for the heads-up.  --Connel MacKenzie 05:30, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh no, you are quite correct! Since late December, all my entries and been so malaigned.  Thanks for setting me straight.  --Connel MacKenzie 05:54, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * You are very welcome. And I thank you for doing the same for me in the past, and I'm sure you will in the future. That's part of what makes this such a terrific learning and growth experience, IMHO. We are all on the same team, tweaking these things until we crack the nut at its heart. "AJ" --HiFlyer 17:22, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I think I will take this as a healthy reminder of what I'm about, in Wiktionary. If I'm not adding a definition, I probably should leave someone else's work alone.  (I hope I am able to remember that!)  Following examples of others here, I've gotten into the (bad) habit of reformatting other's articles ("for consistency") that really did not need any help...not out of malice or self-aggrandizement or anything; just trying to clean up articles.  But there is enough to be done here without inadvertently insulting people by reformatting their work in the name of consistency.  (If its really bad, someone will get around to it sooner or later.)  And apart from politely informing a newcomer how to format an article, most people might be put off by article tweaks.  I hope I never discourage input here - too much still needs to be done...every helping hand helps!  --Connel MacKenzie 18:27, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Plural
I dispute misters as the plural form of mister. Does anyone have evidence for this usage, which could be added as an example? The commonly accepted plural, to my knowledge, is Messrs, derived from the French messieurs. (2.5 million English Google hits compared to half a million for misters, most of which appear to refer to water misters.) However, stricly speaking, this is an abbreviated form equivalent only to Mr, and I'm unsure how to add it since messieurs is not in common usage. --131.111.100.49 08:26, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Foreign titles in Russian
In the Soviet and Russian literature and cinema, the terms Mr, Mrs, Miss, Sir, Ma'am, Gentleman, Monsieur, Madame, Herr, Frau, Signor were often transliterated, not translated literally. господин, госпожа, господа were used more often in more official situations and newspapers, or use interchangeably. It is still a bit different from other European languages where English Mister is translated into French Monsieur or German Herr. It is due to the lack of common address forms in Russian, which disappeared in the Soviet period and were only partially revived with the political reforms. Anatoli 03:40, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

RFD discussion: October–December 2018
a man in the middle of a scolding.

Isn't this just the use of the first definition (title conferred to an adult male)? It is common to use overly formal address when scolding, I don't think this warrents a separate definition any more than the sarcastic use of a word does. Kiwima (talk) 00:36, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:funny

 * While fey is more mystical or other worldly, it may be said that someone who acts "funny" does so because they are fey.rob chamberlin 07:02, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

adverb?
I've heard it used in sentences a lot like so: That man talks funny. - is this grammatically incorrect it is this an adverb too? -- 203.171.192.13 00:42, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Boat
I'm speculating here, but the fact that "funny" sounds like "fune", the Japanese word for boat, leads me to wonder if the boat sense is somehow derived from Japanese. -- 174.31.254.8 23:31, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Does this even exist? I can't find anything. Maybe the signal just so completely buried under the noise of the much more common meaning of funny, but I can't find anything with the usual tricks of specifically searching for "rowing in a funny", "in a funny boat" etc. The few cites that even hint at this meaning are from the mid-1800s, so I wouldnt expect it to be from Japanese, but it also isnt clear that it means a rowboat or even a boat (e.g. even if a sentence contains the string "rowing in a funny", it could be an article of clothing).  I'll look into this but I expect I'll probably be bringing it to  RFV soon.  — Soap — 11:51, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Missing sense?
I'm not sure usages like "Funny, you don't look Jewish" (I don't know why that's the phrase that came to mind!) and "It's funny: now that I can afford to travel, I don't want to" are covered by any of the existing definitions. The meaning of "funny" in the first statement is perhaps closer to "Strange or unusual, often implying unpleasant" than "Amusing; humorous; comical", and the other way 'round for the second statement — but it seems to me that these two uses of "funny" are closer in meaning to each other than to either of the quoted defintions. Perhaps another definition closer to "interesting" is called for? - dcljr (talk) 22:02, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

The Jamaican meaning
There is another song we could use to prove ‘funny’ can be used to mean ‘homosexual’, namely ‘nah accept it’ by Bugle. I can’t quite make out the surrounding lyrics though. It can be found at this YouTube link. Overlordnat1 (talk) 04:21, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

RFV discussion: July–August 2023
Requesting verification of both senses of funny, which I have just moved together. The sculling boat sense has been here since 2005, indeed since the third diff of the page. I suspect the other boat sense is talking about the same thing.

I've found some evidence that this is real, such as these links:    and a blog post I cant find right now (I was on a different computer). However, while two and perhaps all three of these sources could be considered durably archived, none of them gives the specific narrow definition we list; all we know is that a funny is some type of boat. This British rowing glossary doesnt list it. Its worth noting that the three sources I found are all quite old (1775, 1834, 1841), but the blog post I looked at earlier was referring to a current usage and not a historical one. Can anyone turn up more information? Thanks, — Soap — 21:58, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Just to note that the sculling boat sense (1) is given in the OED with a large number of citations. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 23:04, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Cited. This is at least dated—although the term is used in recent books it's always now either in an older context or in long lists of vessels (as in the last cite). In any case it's used and defined consistently, and the second sense here is a restatement of the first (Christopher Dodd, The Story of World Rowing (1992), states that a funny is a "clinker outrigger single-person double-ender"). —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 19:38, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Should we delete the second sense? I agree it may be just another way to describe the same thing, as it would be unexpected for there to be two different kinds of boat with the same name, and the second definition is unclear.  All boats have their ends out of the water, so perhaps they mean that even the bottom is above the surface of the water at either end, but that seems like an impractical design.  (But I clearly dont know much about boats, so I might be wrong about that.) — Soap — 13:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I meant to add that what is now the second boat sense was originally in a separate etymology section, and may have been added by someone who didn't read the whole page. — Soap — 13:41, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It should be removed as redundant yeah. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 13:51, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Hiflyer - I removed the :w: in the entries mentioned and that cleaned up the links. I think the new form for links to internal wiki do not require the :w: anymore.  I need to play with this in the sandbox myself before I figure it out.  Gosh are you ever busy.  But you do good work.  I suspect I am older than you, but very new to the Wiktionary edit league, so pardon me if I look over your shoulder from time to time. Cheers,rob chamberlin 07:41, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm new here as well, and just getting the feel of the editing process. I find the best thing is to read up all you can and then jump in and have a go. The other people in here, especially the more regular 'players,' are too happy to micro-manage the entries.

That's what we do! It's all fair game until the word is agreed upon to the extent that no one makes any more edits to it and gets on with the next page. I value the input of every single person, and I would hope you have as much fun in here as I have had. I'm sure I'll find some things to do with your entries as well. And if you can explain your positions on the 'talk:' pages, then many times the items will change back to your original post. Oh well, back to work ;-)) or I mean back to learning...

Re: Erroneously (&/or, INCOMPLETELY)-published Etymological Analysis for the noun: mystery!!!
Hello there,

I would like to point out to you the FACT (that has perhaps evaded you-hence, has been inadvertantly ignored..) that in Hebrew. the word for mystery is: מִסְתּוֹרִין=mees'to'reen (with an -een suffix typical of words borrowed & introduced into Hebrew from Aramaic)-a word whose radical or root letters are: ס-ת-ר (from the verb meaning: HIDE & CONTRADICT) but then, in turn, borrowed from Greek, where rhe word: μυστήριον (mees'te'ree'on]=mystery has exists until current day!

AK63 (talk) 08:21, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Possibly an adjective
Colloquially, the phrase "mystery meat" has been around quite a while, at least in the US. This usage has expanded to describe other things: "New Yorkers are contending with a bewildering and miserable mix of symptoms as Covid, flu, R.S.V. and various mystery illnesses circulate." This is not quite the same as "mysterious." It is more like a synonym for "unknown." There is a discussion here I think this is somewhat ungrammatical but the use of nouns as adjectives is more prevalent in English every year. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric

Usage notes

 * In Russia, Украина is mostly used with the preposition, as in
 * я|Я живу́ на Украи́не. — I live in Ukraine.
 * In Ukraine, Украина is nowadays mostly used with the preposition в, as in
 * я|Я живу́ в Украи́не. — I live in Ukraine.
 * The argument for the usage by Ukrainians is that “на Украине” allegedly implies that Ukraine is still a part of Russia (or the USSR), which Ukraine left in 1991. With certain exceptions, “в” is used for countries or polities, while “на” is used for broader geographical regions. Thus “на Украине” suggests the historical derivation “на окраине” — “at the borderlands [of Russia]” — which roughly corresponds to the now-deprecated English construction “the Ukraine”, the definite article “the” being used as when referring to a geographical region without sovereign status, e.g. “the West Coast” or “the Midlands”.
