User talk:Stephen G. Brown/Gerund

gerund
Hi Stephen,

You wrote: 'No, the Russian 'gerund' (деепричастие) is NOT like an adjective at all...it is a verbal adverb with the meaning of "while doing"'

Does this also apply to Italian and isn't it the translation wrong then?

Best wishes, Wietse Zuyderwijk 13:48, 28 December 2005 (GMT)

 * Yes, to Italian as well, but not so strongly as Russian. In Russian the gerund is an indeclinable participle that always describes a state or condition under which an action is taking (читая) or has taken (прочитав) place. In the Romance languages, this is frequently but not always the case. I’m more fluent in Spanish, and Spanish gerunds sometimes are just like English gerunds, but not infrequently the Spanish gerund shows how an action is done:
 * Me di cuenta andando por la calle = I noticed it while walking down the street. (adverbial)
 * As often as not when I’m translating Spanish (I’m a professional translator), I have to translate a Spanish gerund into English with either "while -ing" or "by -ing" (adverbial phrases).
 * These Romance gerunds come down from the Latin, in which the gerund played an important and varied role: Aqua utilis est bibendo = water is good for drinking; Adfui scribendo = I was present at the writing; Homo ad agendum natus est = man is born for action; Mens discendo alitur et cogitando = the mind is nourished by learning and reflection. —Stephen 14:45, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Though I know the phrase is an adverbial, it's also an elipsis. The phrase (or then rather clause) can also read: 'One shouldn’t cross a street while one is reading a newspaper.', while retaining the exact same meaning.

 * The Russian phrase is not an ellipsis at all. The English may be written in numerous ways and still have the same meaning, but not so the Russian. The word order can be changed rather freely, but little else may be changed or added without changing the meaning. In particular, the Russian words for 'while' (пока or в то время как) cannot be used with this construction. The Russian gerund always has this sense, and the subject of the gerund is the same as for the main verb. —Stephen 09:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * So, while being an adverbial, the phrase can start with a participle, noun, et cetera. What's more, while the phrase is (being) an adverbial, the phrase can start with a participle, noun, et cetera.

 * I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. An adverbial phrase may begin with, end with, or contain virtually any part of speech. So what? The Russian gerund is what is in question, and it is not a phrase at all. This is not about the various ways that it can be rendered in English, it’s about the Russian gerund as used in Russian. The Russian gerund is a single word, and it’s a verbal adverb. —Stephen 09:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Since being and reading are connected to the subject by a copula, they are participial.

 * Again, we’re not talking about the English. The English is only there to show the meaning ... it does not show the semantic construction. The Russian gerund is not connected by a copula, its connection is the requirement that it have the same subject as the finite verb. The Russian gerund may be considered, as I said before, an indeclinable present or past participle, but it is adverbial in nature, and its translation into English almost always requires the use of a phrase. —Stephen 09:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * To make my point: sometimes a conjunction is left out just as with Spanish (mientras) in English.

 * In the Russian, no conjunction has been left out. In Spanish, sometimes mientras or por may be inserted, but the Spanish gerund already contains that sense to a far greater degree than English does. When I use gerunds in English, the additional meanings of 'while' or 'by' usually needs to be added ... but when I’m speaking Spanish, I can feel those meanings very strongly in the gerund itself. In English, I can barely detect those meanings. In the case of Russian, the gerund does not even admit such words as 'while.' —Stephen 09:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Since I only know common Spanish and English grammars, I don't know if I am correct though, but your argumentation is rather weak as I have tried to explain.
 * —Wietse
 * 17:09, 28 December 2005 (GMT)

 * If my argument is weak, it’s only in the way that I have presented it. The facts are what they are, and the Russian and Romance gerunds are very different from English or German gerunds. The English gerund is little more than an alternative infinitive. The Russian gerund is more complex and its use is much more rigid. —Stephen 09:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for butting in. I always thought a gerund was a form of a verb that could be used as a noun which in English would share a form with either the infinitive or present particle as in "I like to eat" and "I like eating" but this article on about.com says that the meaning has changed and a gerund is now the present participle in English and the "verbal present participle" in Spanish, which matches what Stephen is saying. Now I'm really confused. I might see what our gerund article covers all this... — Hippietrail 18:56, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with you that the English gerund is a verbal noun, a sort of infinitive, and not the present participle. All of my life, most people have understood the gerund to be any word that ends in -ing, regardless of semantics or parts of speech. Perhaps this notion is now official, but I do not accept it. "I am going" is not a gerund ... "I enjoy going" is.
 * That being said, the gerund in other languages is often different from the English gerund, and this is what the article is referring to. —Stephen 09:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, if this is where we're going, we could just as well give up (descriptive) grammar altogether as I see it. — Wietse 19:09, 28 December 2005 (GMT)

 * That is not where we’re going in the article. We are simply saying that the definition of "gerund" is different when applied to other languages. When Russian-language students or students of Latin, Finnish, or Arabic speak of the gerund, they are not talking about the simple English gerund, they mean something more complex (as the article correctly states). —Stephen 09:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Ok, although I am still not sure how English is any different from Spanish or Italian in this (but I bet your ability in Spanish is superior to mine), I see your point. It's not what I would call a gerund, though. — Wietse 15:07, 29 December 2005 (GMT)

 * The particiants in this thread may be interested in the parallel thread now in Tea room. To me it doesn't seem to agree 100% with what I see here. — Hippietrail 16:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

So how would this apply to template:new_en_verb_pres_part as used in NogoMatch? Davilla 08:37, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question. —Stephen 09:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I mean, practically speaking, how should pages with -ing words look? Should they only list the present participle as the verb sense, as the template currently provides for, or should they also have a noun sense? Davilla 18:09, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, I see. I think a page should contain all cases, but in senses where it is only a finite form of a more basic citation form, it only needs the barest mention and a link to the citation form. For instance, acting should have the complete definition of the noun (drama, movies, etc.), and in a different section (===Verb form===) it should say that it’s the present progressive of "to act". —Stephen 10:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The new entry template is supposed to be the barest mention (with the actual entries expanded as needed). I had tried adding a noun sense for xxxing which is, as a default, "Gerund form of the verb [xxx]; the action of one who is xxxing", and the adjective sense "That xxxs". As in your example of acting, these could be edited upon creation of the entry for a fuller definition, but the skeletal defintion could be there as a minimum. The question is, should -ing pages always, or almost always, have a noun sense, and if so should they also have an adjective or other sense? Davilla 10:21, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * No, there are not always noun senses or other senses. Almost all English verbs have gerunds, but other senses of the gerund form have to be treated case-by-case. —Stephen 11:29, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * To be sure I understand, when you earlier said "the English gerund is a verbal noun" you meant that it was still a verb, acting as a noun perhaps, but not actually a noun. Just about any sentence "I like to xxx blah blah blah" can be changed to "xxxing blah blah blah is fun", but I take it the gerund in the latter is not necessarily considered a noun. Davilla 16:23, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Part of the problem is the word gerund itself. It has different meanings when applied to different languages, and different meanings even in English. Nowadays most people including many teachers count every -ing word as a gerund, but grammarians differentiate between verbal nouns (gerunds) and finite verb forms (the present progressive). A English gerund is really a noun, and is very much like an infinitive. In fact, some languages (e.g., Arabic) use infinitives strictly as verbal nouns (gerunds), never as verbs. When you say "I am going", "I am swimming", "I am thinking", it’s the present progressive, not a gerund, and it means almost the same as "I go", "I swim", "I think". But as a nouns, these words do not mean "I go" at all ... "my going should not be a problem", "my swimming provides me lots of exercise", "by my thinking, it’s okay". This use of the gerund is where many foreigners get hung up, and you often hear them using the infinitive instead (infinitives and English gerunds being very much alike). Sometimes the meanings and uses of the gerund can be predicted from the infinitive (it’s fun to swim = swimming is fun), but other times the gerund has special senses (to be, being, human being). —Stephen 17:59, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Arent just to describe Gays

Bubble butt is a term to describe a A nicely rounded butt.

 * It's gay slang meaning and etymology should not be denied.Lucifer (talk) 19:50, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Whether a specific person finds "bubble butts" attractive is not the etymology! We don't define breasts or tits as "attractive globes of flesh on a woman": the attractiveness is NOT part of the def. Try to think rationally. Equinox ◑ 20:43, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It's certainly true that attractiveness is an integral part of the meanings of some words (such as ), but you've given no reason to think that it's an integral part of the meaning of this word, and I've provided evidence that it's not. —Ruakh TALK 01:52, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Wiktionary:Grease pit/Standardized personalizable inflection templates

Up to WT:BP or WT:GP == Standardized customizable inflection templates ==

In Category talk:Conjugation and declension templates/Inflection, conjugation, and declension template names, I have proposed that we standardize the names, purpose, and display style of three types of templates used in Wiktionary.

My interest in that topic is now renewed because of (used on "digital" and other entries). displays like a floating declension table (with the added property of showing pronunciation) but is named like et al., which are used on the "inflection" line (immediately following the POS heading) to show the headword and its main inflections. Is there yet a preferred pattern for naming and display styles of the two types of templates?

Also, the existence of two sets of English inflection line templates ( and ) leads me to believe that editors have agreed to disagree about inflection line display style. If so, some CSS magic can let everyone have his or her way just as it does with. Would anyone object to standardizing the inflection template display in a way that allows each reader to choose his or her inflection line display style? (Should I move this to WT:GP?) Rod (A. Smith) 19:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I think a good place to start would be to come up with some standard CSS classes. We would need one SPAN or DIV (depending on whether it's inline or creates some kind of box or table) as a wrapper for the whole thing, and another SPAN for the actual inflected words. All templates should use the same classes so that people can say select italics for the body of the section and bold for the actual words - or however they like it.
 * The next step would be to come up with a flexible template that uses whatever it takes to please all the camps and produce an inline version or a version in a box or table etc. That's a lot more work and the place to do it is over in the Grease pit. — Hippietrail 22:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, standard CSS class names are key. At the test site's "word" entry Template talk:en-noun, I have an example entry that uses the very simple test template en-noun. (BTW, I don't know how to wikilink across both language and project. Is it possible?)

Obviously, to see the table format, use this .css: .infl-inline {display:none} .infl-table {display:inline}

Likewise, this .css by default, it shows the inline format because the following is in MediaWiki:Common.css: .infl-inline {display:inline} .infl-table {display:none}

I somewhat hastly chose the CSS class names "infl-inline" and "infl-table". I'm sure there's plenty of room to improve that naming scheme. Since I think that inflection lines should look fairly consistent in each language section, I left the ISO language component out of those two CSS class names.

Regarding the name of the template itself, I don't know whether "" would be better, but I have the feeling that short names are better since the Category:Inflection templates should eventually be nearly ubiquitous. Thus "". Rod (A. Smith) 23:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Rod, I assume you weren't around during the last flame and edit wars about them? The thing has died down a bit, fortunately, so this may be the time to restart thinking about them. Also, with the new ParserFunctions, I'm sure someone can devise the final English inflection templates. Please be bold and show us some good stuff! —Vildricianus 23:56, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I was lucky enough to miss those arguments and edit wars. I took your advice and built out . I won't use it in any main namespace entry until it sounds like it has enough support for a trial run. Besides, we need to agree on some CSS class names and get those classes into the main monobook in order to prevent multiple inflection styles from displaying for everyone. Check it out, modify your Special:Mypage/monobook.css, and tell me what you think! Rod (A. Smith) 03:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Looks great up to now. I'm not sure whether the box style is more popular than the single-line style, though, but that's easy to change whenever it suits us. Oh wait, I must have missed the CSS bit. Perfect! —Vildricianus 06:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * You've obviously done a lot of work on this, thanks! My first thoughts were that there's a hell of a lot of options which I for one and certainly most newcomers will be hard pushed to remember.  I think we only really need two paradigms - {en-noun|singular|plural} which wikifies automatically, and {en-noun2|"[singular]”|either “[this]” or “[that]”} where you can include more detailed disambiguation.  That doesn't include info about whether or not it's countable, but it isn't necessary since that has to go on the def lines anyway.  Widsith 16:20, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, the template must be easy to use, read, and remember. I tried to make sure it would please everybody, so it supports several equivalent ways to show the same thing. That doesn't mean everyone needs to use every option, just as not everyone needs to know every MediaWiki parser function to write a good entry.

 * I think it's easiest to show usage options with concrete examples. So, assuming that your example applies to irregular plurals, e.g. "cactus/cacti", the template can be used in either of the following ways on the "cactus" entry:
 * Or, to specify multiple plurals, either of the following:
 * To me, the styles seem terse, natural, and flexible, and depending on one's background, at least one will easy to remember because it reads like some dictionaries. Would you prefer a different syntax for irregular plurals or are you talking about regular plurals? Those are even easier.
 * Or, to specify multiple plurals, either of the following:

 * As for countability, It would be difficult to convince everyone to stop indicating countability on the inflection line, so the template must support it, right? Or was there some decision not to show countability in inflection lines?

 * Either way, I'll clean up the usage notes so it doesn't look so complicated. Rod (A. Smith) 17:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * That looks great. If it works out, this could solve one of the longest-running disputes on Wiktionary.  Widsith 18:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It looks really really good to me though I haven't played with it. One minor thing is I think every template name should start off with it's function, thus I would prefer . We probably need another topic just on template naming - I think it's one of the reasons many users dislike them and a few vehemently hate them.
 * A bigger problem is languages with a lot more inflections. The Russian tables are surprisingly concise, but those for Spanish and Swedish for instance are a whole different kettle of fish. Maybe it's possible to have a brief and expanded version where the brief version includes only the forms that from which all other forms can be derived. I think some dictionaries for some languages do this - I think Latin is one. The full version will be more like what you see in verb table books. — Hippietrail 19:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It certainly looks great. Here's my thoughts:
 * I think the templates should be as concise as possible and contain only the necessary. If there are obsolete plurals and things like that, they can be noted in the template, but the main explanation of how and when should go in its own section, probably =Usage notes=. Usually, things like US only or obsolete except Scotland are hardly useful. A short paragraph describing history and such is more what Wiktionary should be about.
 * Whether countability is used on the inflection line or on the definition line doesn't matter much now. We can remove or re-add it as we please if we have a stable and universal template.
 * About the naming: I don't think the function should come first. Actually, pretty much all templates have the language first. I'd really stick with for the inflection line templates, to keep them as simple and concise as possible, but that's of course open for discussion.
 * I think the intention is to have concise inflection-line templates versus extended own-section table templates.
 * The Russians are concise because it's way too complicated and bombastic to create 88 different templates, some of which would be used for only a handful of verbs. Therefore, the noun and verb templates are merely containing the ugly table syntax so that users are not confronted with these. They have little to do with "real" inflection templates, actually. —Vildricianus 19:44, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, in fact, "infl" would be a misnomer for parts of speech that don't inflect (e.g. EN adverbs, JA nouns, ZH verbs). We say "inflection line" and "inflection template" as loosely as we say "part of speech". I hope to have a single template for each language-pos combination.

 * The key features of an "inflection line" at Wiktionary seem to be showing the emboldened headword and its key forms (e.g. some important inflections, transliteration, or diactitics). Each language-pos combination has a fixed but possibly incomplete set of key "inflections" (e.g. de-noun has nom/gen/pl, en-adv has only the headword, es-adj has m/f/mpl/fpl, ja-noun has kanji/kana/romaji).

 * For more details, optional conjugation and declension templates can show everything from archaic EN 2nd-sing, to EN possessives, ES future, and RU instrumental, all nicely organized in a table in separate level 4 section, consistent across languages.

 * In case it's not painfully clear, I'm striving for consistency. This model seems applicable to all parts of speech in all languages. Rod (A. Smith) 07:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to be bold and create a default style in MediaWiki:Common.css for the customizable universal inflection templates, but this seems like politically dangerous ground. There appear to be many more entries using the inline inflection templates (i.e. "type A") than using the table templates (i.e. "type B"), so the least-impact choice would seem to be to use inline inflection style as the default. Should I open the topic up at WT:BP? Please offer any suggestions on how to approach this potentially explosive decision. Rod (A. Smith) 16:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I guess you can be bold here. The main proponent and creator of the box styles is more or less absent now, but I think he wouldn't oppose making inline the default, as long as he can have his boxes for himself. I think the inline styles are more popular and certainly much older than the boxes, and from my experience with them, have shown much more flexibility layout-wise, so that the majority of users should see them instead of the boxes. —Vildricianus 18:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Lurking is different than absent. --Connel MacKenzie T C 18:57, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * He's at all times free to comment here or elsewhere. No voice, no choice. —Vildricianus 19:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Lurking indeed. Ncik 16:22, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, indeed. You are still welcome to contribute to these conversations.  Please do so!  Discussing things before going off on your own tangent is much more productive.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 20:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The larger problem of consolidating the verb templates, is the non-standard order of parameters that Ncik used in his templates. That order is still incorrect, as it does not allow for the logical (simple) combination of past and past participle via template defaulting.  Also, the pointed reordering from the standard used for a long time prior, (particularly in Uncle G's templates) is a point of confusion for Wiktionary readers.

 * Now that the color of the boxes has been rectified, I'm much more favorable towards them - but I'd still like to see the wording corrected to match the original templates. The original templates' wordings were discussed at length; the Ncik templates' wordings were not.  I know some contributors object to the problems the boxes cause for image placement, but I do not see that as an insurmountable obstacle.

 * Rectifying that situation I see as a two-step cleanup process. The first step would be to have temporary templates with correct ordering.  The next would be to have them 'bot corrected to reorder the parameters into the new template name.

 * Eclecticology objected to any such improvements in the past, citing template "ownership" or something. As a result, we've been stuck in a sort of detente where Ec considers conversion of one template style to the other a non-NPOV edit.

 * --Connel MacKenzie T C 20:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It sounds like there isn't yet any objection to or to the consolidation of inflection templates in general, so I'm quite hopeful for the prospect of a universal English verb inflection template. To make sure that consolidation is not viewed as POV, I have asked for opinions regarding  from Ncik, the only person who has so far been identified as strongly advocating table-style inflections. When all the technical challenges have been answered, the recommendation to deprecate the redundant inflection templates and to move the universal templates to "en-adj", "en-noun", "en-verb", etc. will of course move to WT:BP for approval. Rod (A. Smith) 22:12, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * To make it easier to move and  to their logical homes (i.e. "en-noun" and "en-verb"), I temporarily added "legacy syntax support". I.e., if the first parameter matches the pagename, the templates behave compatibly with the legacy templates. That support lets us (1) move the new templates directly over top of "en-noun" and "en-verb", (2) gradually convert legacy syntax to the new syntax, (3) train editors to use the new syntax, and (4) eventually remove the legacy syntax support.

 * I realize we haven't yet simplified CSS editing, but the only identified table-format advocate doesn't object to consolidation, so unless anyone has any remaining technical points to address, I'll request approval on WT:BP. Rod (A. Smith) 22:47, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Well done. I guess the majority will keep the default anyway. Those who complain will get personal assistance if they don't want to/can't edit their CSS files. In general, (it was I who raised the question of making it more user-friendly) I had in mind to find a solution in the long run, for our expected thousands of users anywhere in the near future. It's not pressing at all, as long as we have such a small community.
 * Q: What do you mean by "gradually convert..."? This is still planned for a bot, right? — Vildricianus 23:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I said "gradually convert" to indicate that it's OK if the first bot pass mistakenly treats lots of "regular" nouns and verbs as "irregular". E.g. the bot may see " " and not be able to figure out that "dry" is actually a regular verb. It would be OK for it to leave the entry alone and let us change it later to " ". Rod (A. Smith) 00:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Um, Yes. Can we have some more discussion on the direction this is going first, please?  I do not think this is quite ready to start, just yet.  I'm sorry that I haven't kept up with this conversation so far - it seems like it is moving a little faster than it should.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 00:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * To be a little less vague, I thought the longer-term concept was to have the and  the the "real" versions, containing all the forms as User:Polyglot indicated a year ago, (with past and past part. as the last two, so that one can be left off if they are the same.)  Proceeding from that point, the "Uncle G" templates would then be used only to assist in the various "preload" templates, resulting in the expanded  and  forms (when saved, with "subst:".)  This would allow for the host of "preload buttons" on new pages.  To most users, it would then look like we no longer use the "Uncle G" templates, when in fact, they would be heavily exercised with each new entry.
 * Reading all of the above, it is not clear to me, that that goal is still in sight. Have I misread it?  --Connel MacKenzie T C

 * I wasn't here for Polyglot's proposals a year ago, but I gather from your comments that an earlier plan was to consolidate all verb templates. Good. You mention that the earlier plan was to use the form "{en-verb|start|starts|starting|started}". Note that the new template allows the parameter order you describe but it also allows simply "{en-verb}". I'd be happy to review the conversation you mentioned so that I can gather any useful recommendations from it. Where can I find the conversation? Rod (A. Smith) 02:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Goodness, that template test:w:Template:en-noun looks extravagant! That must've taken an enormous amount of effort, and wow, does it look thorough.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 01:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Let me know if I can help answer any of your questions. Remember, the conversation is here to work out technical details. It will later move to WT:BP for approval before any conversion begins. Rod (A. Smith) 02:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I want to propose the following on WT:BP:
 * Get approval of and.
 * Move them over top of and.
 * Wait a week for additional feedback.
 * Migrate from and deprecate all the other English noun and English verb inflection templates.
 * Please let me know how much more time you would like to review the technical details before I post the proposal to WT:BP. Rod (A. Smith) 21:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

 * As for me, please go ahead. I trust you've got them technical tricks worked out (massive work!). The sooner this can get standardized, the better. — Vildricianus 21:16, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, on to WT:BP! (Shouldn't there be some scene change music for these transitions?) Rod (A. Smith) 07:33, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Latin templates
I'd have come into this discussion sooner if I hadn't had such limited access for the past month (and coming few weeks). I applaud the attempt to do all this, and am eager to work with you on standardizing the Latin templates sometime soon (well, not the verbs yet). While I have the grammatical knowledge, I've held off for making any changes because I wasn't up on all the possible formatting and structuring issues, which seem to be on your mind. If you don't hear from me in a month or so, contact me directly, please. Also, there is a list of exisitng Latin templates in my Laboratorium, so that you can get a sense for the complexities of a language with numerous conjugational forms. --EncycloPetey 02:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I'm very much looking forward to working with you on the Latin templates. I will be sure to contact you directly at that time. By the way, would you recommend that Latin be the language to follow English in this effort? If not, any suggestions on what language to tackle next? Rod (A. Smith) 02:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Spanish would be a logical choice. It's got inflections, but few of them and they're regularized (even the "irregular" ones in some situations). Hippietrail might be able to help with that -- he seems to have a much larger vocabulary than I do, at least. I have several big grammars and dictionaries that might help as well, if you keep me posted (and are patient, as I currently don't have access from home). From Spanish, it will be easier to go into Latin and other Romance languages. The advantage is that it's much easier to get good information on Latin as aroot language than it is in other language families, so it's easier to figure out what's going on historically with conjugational irregularities. Oh, and keep in mind that SemperBlotto speaks Italian.   --EncycloPetey 03:15, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll keep those points in mind. Spanish seems like a good next victim. It doesn't have much in the way of adj/noun declension, so we can primarily focus on the POS ("inflection") line and on the conjugation tables. I personally like the way takes the noun's gender as a parameter and would like to do something similar with the noun templates of all languages where gender is key. A fresh WT:GP topic is probably in order for that, though, so maybe I should wait to open that can of worms when the English templates are in place. Rod (A. Smith) 04:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * *Cough* Dutch *Cough* :-) — Vildricianus 09:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Duly noted, but you really should have that cough looked at. :-) Rod (A. Smith) 18:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Rodasmith, I would very much appreciate it if you could kindly look at Wiktionary talk:Swedish inflection templates and give any comment you may have. (Oh, and if I do get a goahead from the community, I will most likely need to bother you about template syntax details too *smile*) --sanna 15:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Usage notes
The acceptability of the name Eire or Éire in English has varied over time. Although some Irish politicians after independence preferred this name, and the term appeared in a few official titles such as "Attorney General of Éire", the policy of the British government to use Eire rather than Ireland to refer to the state led Eire/Éire in English to be perceived by most Irish people as a deliberate exoticism or a provocative rejection of Irish claims on Northern Ireland. Bilateral treaties published by both governments would use Eire or Republic of Ireland in the British edition and Ireland in the Irish edition. In 1998, the British government abandoned the practice with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement and the term largely fell into disuse.

Talk:spare

Definitions
I may be wrong, but to me it looks as if the definitions are rather randomly mixed between the adjective, noun and verb sections. For example, under Adjective: "To use frugally or stintingly, as that which is scarce or valuable; to retain or keep unused; to save". Is that not a definition of a verb? "The man used the machine frugally". Replacing "to use" with "used" etc. would make more sense.

-- 85.30.174.70 08:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Tea room discussion
There is a missing verb sense, but I'm not certain which etymology it belongs under (or if it's a third), "go spare"/"went spare" meaning go/went crazy, become/became very angry. "goes spare" does get some use in this meaning, but nowhere near as much as go/went. I'm not sure that it is used in the present tense though, as all the bgc hits (at leas the first 20) for "going spare" are for a completely different sense (e.g. "there's some bacon going spare if you want any"). Thryduulf 22:41, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

 * That's not a verb, but a modifier of some sort, IMHO probably an adjective. OTOH, if it's really only used with the verb go:, then it should be at go spare, not at spare. —Ruakh TALK 23:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Could it be it is "went spur"? ie a sudden change of mood like a horse jabbed by a spur.

Clarifying verb sense
(1) Missing ditransitive verb sense of English 'spare' related to sense 3 -- e.g. "Can you spare John five dollars?" -- which (interestingly) seems to only sound fully natural when used in questions. I believe this is the sense represented as 9a of verb 1 'spare' in the OED. (2) the current entry obscures the fact that both etymologies of spare share a common source -- senses 2 and 3 of the verb make this most clear (e.g. sense 3 could be reframed as 'give away spare X'). This claim is supported by etymonline in their etymology for the adjectival form of 'spare' ("from the same root as spare v.") Raunderhill (talk) 17:11, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:cirrus

Removed from article, trimming it down:--Dangherous 09:22, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

These clouds have a fibrous aspect and/or a silky sheen. Many of the ice crystal particles of cirrus are sufficiently large to acquire an appreciable speed of fall; therefore, the cloud elements have a considerable vertical extent. Wind shear and variations in particle size usually cause these fibrous trails to be slanted or irregularly curved. For this reason, cirrus does not usually tend, as do other clouds, to appear horizontal when near the horizon. Because cirrus elements are too narrow, they do not produce a complete circular halo.

Remember there are no hard and fast rules, just go with whatever floats your boat.''

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.

To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JoshLMeyer~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.
