Talk:perspicuous

Can't this adjective also apply to a person? Meaning, a person of very great insight? --Connel MacKenzie 06:57, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think so - probably just depends on how it's used I guess. I understand it like, "Your perspicuous explanation on preventing online scams was very helpful." I guess one could also say, "You're a perspicuous person." True lucidity 10:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Aren't we doing separate headings for each part of speech any more? Are we sure that each of the translations works for both the pronoun and the "adjective" senses?

Also, when have we started making all of the language labels bold? Should we be doing this to all articles? Where did we discuss it? Or should we each just used our own favourite formatting on each article we touch? — Hippietrail 08:43, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Good questions. I've removed the bolding since it seems not to be standard. By the same token, I've removed the link to Ido, since linking to language names isn't standard either. (But since when are pseudolanguages like "Ido" allowed at Wiktionary anyway?) --Angr 10:13, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Does anyone know when and where in the U.K people said ‘any’ with the Irish pronunciation, as suggested here? Overlordnat1 (talk)|
 * Since asking this I’ve created the pronunciation spelling anny and added quotes which prove that this pronunciation was used until the early 19th century in England and continued to be used in dialect until the late 19th century but is now obsolete. Overlordnat1 (talk) 09:08, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Usage notes
Cassia is typically marketed in American English as “cinnamon” but is typically distinguished from Sri Lankan cinnamon in Europe. The oil content of the bark of the Saigon cinnamon is actually superior to that of true cinnamon, but Chinese cassia and Indonesian cinnamon have somewhat less.

Sweet osmanthus and cassia were both formerly 桂 in Chinese and the character is often translated as "cassia", owing to its greater importance in modern international trade; however, it is generally the sweet-smelling osmanthus that is meant.

Etymology
From.

Noun

 * 1)  firmware

Declension
The inflection of this word is problematic. Joukahainen puts it in nalle-category, but it would really require Finnicized pronunciation: /ˈfirmˌʋɑre̞/. As most people tend to pronounce the word more or less like in English, it should rather be of risti-type. It's probably advisable to avoid using the inflected forms in writing and use the provided Finnish synonyms instead.

Talk:yew

etymology of yew in wiktionary is meaningless and ridiculous. Yule and yew derive from Ukrainian yalycya i.e. spruce

Does anyone knows what is the prounanciation and etymology of yew in Japaneese and or "Chineese" and to which language wikiditionary's Chineese refers to?

Dutch translation
Something is wrong with the translation "venijnboom". When I look in the Dutch wikipedia, the venijnboom is part of the taxus family. When I look in the English wikipedia, taxus is a genus of yews. Hence, I think venijnboom is too specific a translation. Also I never heard the word before and it is not present in the online Van Dale dictionary or in Het Groene Boekje ([woordenlijst.org/zoek]). I would suggest the translation "taxus".

Also I doubt "ijf" (mentioned in the etymology) is really present-day Dutch. It is neither present in Van Dale or in Het Groene Boekje and I never heard it.

Talk:travelling salesman problem

Seems like an unlikely Dictionary entry. --HiFlyer 03:58, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It is a problem that is important, not for its own usefulness, but because it was crucial in the history of the branch of mathematics known as computability - trying to figure out if any problem is theoretically solvable or not. SemperBlotto 08:23, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes it's very interesting but interesting things belong in encyclopedias, interesting words and idioms belong in dictionaries. — Hippietrail 14:09, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I tend to disagree. The travelling-salesman problem is not just an interesting concept, it is an important problem in mathematics that has all sorts of ramifications.  As will the four-colo(u)r problem (a theorem since 1976) and any number of other mathematical problems, I believe it deserves a definition in Wiktionary, with further discussion relegated to Wikipedia. — Paul G 17:39, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * It is a term whose meaning can't be worked out from the component words, so yes, keep it! Equinox ◑ 00:02, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
