User talk:Okome~enwiktionary

Thank you for your recent Japanese contributions.

I do have a few points to raise.
 * 1) I have no certain idea about the function of an entry like 索引_お. It appears to be some kind of index, but I can't be sure of that.  If that is the case then a format like Japanese index xxxx would be appropriate, where the "xxxx" would be something like your 索引_お relating to the contents of that particular index.  You may, nevertheless, still need one or two explanatory sentences at the beginning of the index article about what is covered in that index.  The challenge is in developing ways of communicating terms in Japanese (and other languages) to people who have absolutely no background in the language.
 * 2) In any article, where Japanese is one, or even the only, language for that word or term the h2 heading ==Japanese== should precede the Japanese section of the article.
 * 3) The English definitions for a word should follow on a new line preceded by a #.
 * 4) I wondered also about parts of speech, but before going too far into that I wanted to ask how similar the English concepts for these are to the Japanese concepts. Eclecticology 17:25 May 19, 2003 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. 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 Okome. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Okome~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.

Etymology
From, , , , whence also Yorkshire dialectal , 🇨🇬,.

Probably from  (whence dialectal 🇨🇬), with an irregular change in stress from hēo to heō, then a development from  to  to ,  similar to the derivation of Shetland from. In this case, she is from, from , from , , and is cognate with 🇨🇬, , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬; more at.

A derivation from 🇨🇬 is also possible, though less likely. In that case, would have undergone a change in stress from sēo to seō, then a change from  to , similar to the derivation of sure from. It would then be cognate to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.

Neither etymology would be expected to yield the modern vocalism in (the expected form would be, which is in fact found dialectally). It may be due to influence from, but both and  also have rare variants ( and ) that may give modern English.

Usage notes

 * Since at least the 1920s and 30s, some gay or queer men refer to other gay or queer men and/or themselves with she/her pronouns, as well as with other feminine terms such as Miss and girl, to signal their sexuality rather than their gender identity; this has sometimes been termed "the gay she":

 * 1994, George Chauncey, Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940, pages 56-57:
 * One indication of the extent to which men became accustomed to thinking of fairies as pseudo-women was provided in 1939 by a State Liquor Authority investigator who casually referred to a fairy (who went by a woman's name but dressed in conventional male attire) as "she," even though he was testifying at a formal hearing of the Authority. "We did get in a conversation with Beverly," he testified, "and she stated she liked us very much." When asked by an attorney whether he meant "she" or "he," he explained that the fairies "address themselves by these effeminate names and refer to one another in the effeminate terms," and promptly continued: "She [the fairy] made a date with Mr. Van Wagner and myself for Saturday night."

Etymology 1
From, borrowed in the 1200s from , plural of the demonstrative which acted as a plural pronoun. Displaced native from  — which vowel changes had left indistinct from  — by the 1400s,  being readily incorporated alongside native words beginning with the same sound. Used as a singular pronoun since 1300, e.g. in the 1325 Cursor Mundi.

The Norse term (whence also 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬) is from (from ), whence also 🇨🇬 (whence obsolete English ), 🇨🇬,,.

The origin of the determiner is unclear. The OED, English Dialect Dictionary and Middle English Dictionary define it and its Middle English predecessor as a demonstrative determiner or adjective meaning "those" or "the". This could be a continuation of the use of the English pronoun 's Old Norse etymon as a demonstrative meaning "those", but the OED and EDD say it is limited to southern, especially southwestern, England, specifically outside the region of Norse contact.

Pronoun

 * 1)   A group of entities previously mentioned.
 * 2)   A single person, previously mentioned, but typically not if previously named and identified as male or female, especially if of unknown, irrelevant or (since 21st century) non-binary gender. Now increasingly used for an unnamed person even if the gender of the person is identified.
 * 3) * 2008,, quoted in , Michelle Obama in Her Own Words, New York, NY: PublicAffairs, 2009. ISBN 978 1 58648 762 1, page 18:
 * One thing a nominee earns is the right to pick the vice president that they think will best reflect their vision of the country, and I am just glad I will have nothing to do with it.

Usage notes

 * Usage of they as a singular pronoun began in the 1300s and has been common ever since, despite attempts by some grammarians, beginning in 1795, to condemn it as a violation of traditional (Latinate) agreement rules. Some other grammarians have countered that criticism since at least 1896. Fowler's Modern English Usage (third edition) notes that it "is being left unaltered by copy editors" and is "not widely felt to lie in a prohibited zone." Some authors compare use of singular they to widespread use of singular you instead of thou. See  for more; see also the usage notes about themself. (Compare he.)
 * Even when used as a singular pronoun, in standard English singular they uses the same verb conjugations as plural they, like singular and plural you: "George, you were [not was] here when the masked figure ran past, were [not was] they wearing red or blue?"
 * Infrequently, they is used of an individual person of known, binary gender. See citations.
 * Infrequently, they is used of an individual animal which would more commonly be referred to as it. See citations.
 * One is also an indefinite pronoun, but the two words do not mean the same thing and are rarely interchangeable. "They" refers to people in general (hence the expressions, , ), whereas "one" refers to one person (often such that what is true for that person is true for everyone). You may also be used to refer to people in general; such use of that pronoun is called the generic you.
 * They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
 * One may say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
 * You may say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Determiner

 * 1)  The, those.

Early misc
I left what's at the beginning of the page, although I don't think it says a lot...

How does it mean sexual intercourse???

The only thing I can think of is a phrase like this:

Let's do it.

But it's simply a pronoun replacing a noun. It doesn't mean all of a sudden it gets that meaning.

 * I've removed the first part of the article.  The number of meanings might as well be a number pulled out of the air like "Heinz 57 varieties".  That never really represented 57 varieties, but it sounded good so the company adopted it as a slogan.  "It" as sexual intercourse i8s also meaningless.  This usage is really as a general purpose euphemism for anything that may be slightly naughty or forbidden. Eclecticology 01:57 May 20, 2003 (UTC)!

 * This is roughly noun sense 1, "One who is neither a he nor a she; a creature; a dehumanized being." (That, in turn, has some overlap with the derogatory "transgender" pronoun sense.

Use for a generic human referent

 * 1928, Virginia Woolf, Orlando, chapter 5:
 * All these things inclined her, step by step, to submit to the new discovery, whether Queen Victoria's or another's, that each man and each woman has another allotted to it for life, whom it supports, by whom it is supported, till death them do part.

Is this usage covered by any of the senses currently in the article? I don't think it is. —Granger (talk · contribs) 22:41, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Very unusual. I don't think I've ever seen that before (excluding one person on Reddit who wanted their pronoun to be "it", and kicked off a big genderstorm). But we already have human senses for specific contexts (the baby or child; the telephone call; etc.) so maybe we should just broaden it and say it can be human but isn't normal. Equinox ◑ 22:52, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

"it" in tag only?
Is saying "you're it" and the like specifically restricted to the game of tag? Or does it also work for other games? Like hide and seek for example. Or say that football/soccer game where one player is in the middle and has to touch the ball. 90.186.72.65 10:26, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Usage notes
is traditionally described as the objective pronoun, meaning it is used as the object of verbs and prepositions, while the subjective pronoun should be used as the subject of verbs. However, "objective" pronouns are widely used as the subject of verbs in colloquial speech when they are accompanied by a conjunction, for example, "me and her are friends". This usage is traditionally considered incorrect, and "she and I are friends" is the prescriptive construction.

Using as the lone subject of a verb (without a conjunction, e.g. "me want", "me like") is a feature of various types of both pidgin English and that of infant English-learners, and is sometimes used by speakers of standard English for jocular effect (e.g. "me likee", "me wantee").

Although in some dialects 'me' is also used as a possessive, in writing, speakers of these dialects usually write.

Some prescriptivists object to the use of following the verb, as in "It wasn't me". The phrase "It was not I" is prescribed as correct, though this may be seen as extreme and used for jocular effect.
