Talk:genealogist

Genealogist

A person who studies a family's history. It is the is the study and tracing of family pedigrees. This involves collecting the names of relatives, both living and deceased, and establishing the relationships between them based on primary, secondary and/or circumstantial evidence or documentation, thus building up a cohesive family tree. Genealogy is sometimes also referred to as family history, although these terms may be used distinctly: the former being the basic study of who is related to whom; the latter involving more "fleshing out" of the life and family histories of the individuals involved.

助数詞

Noun

 * 1)  counter word, a Japanese part of speech

Usage notes
In Japanese, numerals cannot quantify nouns by themselves, except in certain cases for the numbers from one to ten (and then only using the forms ending in -tsu, such as hitotsu or futatsu). Instead, are used after the number to count objects and events.

For example, is the counter for small animals:

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

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:04, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:chump

nuances
Rodasmith merged my two added senses:

a foolish or gullible person; a sucker; someone easily taken advantage of It shouldn't be hard to put one over on that chump.

and:

one with compunctions which disallow taking advantage dishonestly or unfairly (used by the unscrupulous to describe the scrupulous; thus:) a fool ''What a chump! He could have kept that money! Who would have known?''

into:

a foolish or gullible person; a sucker; someone easily taken advantage of It shouldn't be hard to put one over on that chump. ''What a chump! He could have kept that money! Who would have known?''

The two senses are not equivalent. The second one is a common nuance, showing that it is used specifically to refer to people who do not take advantage. This is not the same as being easily taken advantage of.

I am returning the separate senses, but with an improvement which I think will be more clear. The uses of the word "foolish" in the first one is unnecessary and detracts from the specific sense described, so I will remove it. I will also reword the second one to be more inclusive.

I will also add a common meaning, "blockhead", which is not the same as "fool" or "gull". Let's not muddle meanings, and let's allow valid nuances.

Abstrator 08:59, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd be tempted to say that the merge was correct. The nuance of overscrupulousness is a special case of the "sucker" definition.  Being such a sucker that you allow your own conscience to take advantage of you is a matter of degree and direction rather than a separate sense of the word.  Dpv 20:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * You appear to me to be confusing meaning in usage with abstract interpretation. No, there is a difference between *being a gullible person*, and *being a person of conscience*.  These are two senses of "chump", two different types of people referred to as "chumps" for different reasons.  When you say "being such a sucker that you allow your own conscience to take advantage of you", I don't see "sucker" as being the appropriate word here; "fool", in the cynical sense of "chump" I describe below, would fit. My reply to Rodasmith below should further clarify this point. Abstrator 01:32, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Abstrator, are you really of the opinion that the following are three entirely different meanings?
 * a blockhead; an idiot
 * a gullible person; a sucker; someone easily taken advantage of
 * a fool, especially in the opinion of selfish or unscrupulous people
 * As Dpv points out, they seem to be three nuances of a single sense of the word. I've retained your wording to make the different nuances clear but recombined them as two senses:
 * an unintelligent person
 * a gullible person; someone easily taken advantage of, especially in the opinion of selfish or unscrupulous people
 * Doing so allows us to create a usable synonym list and translation table for each sense. Rod (A. Smith) 18:12, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, they are different:

 * - A "blockhead" is simply one considered a *stupid* person. The word "chump" was long used to mean "a thick chunk of wood", thus the extended usage. (Perhaps the old definition should be added.) Replacing "blockhead" with "unintelligent person" removes this allusion.  It also is too gentile to convey the "color" of the word. By adding "idiot", I was clarifying the meaning of "blockhead".

 * - A "gullible person, a sucker; someone easily taken advantage of..." is someone not necessarily regarded as stupid/unintelligent, but one who is regarded as naive or easily fooled, who may be otherwise intelligent. My wording was inclusive enough to cover nuances of this sense. "Sucker" shows the tone.  "Easily taken advantage of" broadens the scope a bit, although closely related, suggesting that it also applies to those who are easily used.  The next sense, however, is *not* closely related:

 * -A "fool, especially in the opinion of selfish or unscrupulous people", was my attempt to satisfy the objection that "a fool is a fool". I wanted to document a commonly found special sense of "chump" used primarily by people who regard conscientious or unselfish people to be fools for having moral motivations or compunctions.  It is cynical and unscrupulous people who use the word "chump" this way, much as racists use "nigger" as an insult.  My preference was to separate the sense of simply "fool" from this special nuance, but I compromised by using "especially...", because I perceive that "chump" is commonly used as this special sense of "fool".

 * I realize now that I was unwise to compromise my sense, which originally (in an earlier version you also dumped) explained more clearly that the reason selfish or unscrupulous people would regard someone as a "chump" is because, foolishly (due to their compunctions), they don't take unfair advantage or "take the money and run".

 * The combined sense you offer does not address the sense I intended, but uses my words where they don't apply. You say above: "I've retained your wording to make the different nuances clear...", but actually you *removed* that part of my wording ("in the opinion of selfish or unscrupulous people") which *did* make the nuance clear.  In your: "someone easily taken advantage of, especially in the opinion of selfish or unscrupulous people", the "especially..." clause is unnecessary because it can be understood.  The clause *was* necessary in my "fool" sense because it showed a special reason for being called a "chump/fool".

 * The important aspect of my added sense is that "chump" has a special use by selfish, unscrupulous, or cynical people, applied to people who are supposedly foolish for *not* being selfish or unscrupulous. Thus my quote, misapplied in your version: "What a chump! He could have kept that money! Who would have known?"  It is not "gullible" or "naive" to return found money, but rather it is *unselfish* or *conscientious".

 * This sense gives the word "chump" part of its distictive character which differentiates its use from other "synonyms" (such as "fool", which applies broadly and can be used by anyone). Merely listing synonyms does nothing to discriminate their special uses.  I hope that the recent trend of muddling synonyms doesn't completely spoil that.  In that hope, I want to unmuddle the dictionary interpretation by *distinguishing* nuances rather than *merging* them.

 * I plan to revise this entry soon and hope that it will be understandable and acceptable to all. Please, next time, don't dump my changes so easily, as they are not made casually.  If you have reservations, please discuss them first.

 * Abstrator 01:32, 23 May 2006 (UTC) Edited my comments. Abstrator 00:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Your points are well taken. I now more clearly understand the distinction of sense you wish to illustrate. Note that your earlier versions are available in the history list, so you can access your versions prior to my overwriting them. Please be sure to keep the list of synonyms and the placeholders for translation tables clearly tied to individual meanings of the word in order to help other editors add unambiguous translations of "chump". Doing so is not much of a challenge with an entry like this that currently lacks translations, but for entries with longer histories, it becomes difficult to keep translation tables accurate as editors submit new minor variations of senses to entries.

Further comments from Abstrator about changes made by Rodasmith
I was editing my comments above at the same time you were replying, so the system apparently didn't allow it to print. I re-entered it anyway, for what it's worth. But here are more comments in addition:

You also merged these two other listed senses which I did not create:

 * (U.S. Slang) the opposite of a champ; a loser

 * derogatory term describing a loser, or a spoilsport.

You turned these into:

 * the opposite of a champ

What was the purpose of removing the very clear word "loser" ? Doing so makes the sense potentially misleading and more difficult to understand for anyone who is unfamiliar with the sense. "Opposite of champ" alone would suggest that we are talking about a sports term rather than a general term for someone regarded as a "loser".

I agree that it is unnecessary to keep the "derogatory " clause. I am not entirely sure about "spoilsport" - what makes you confident enough to remove it ? I appreciate that you retained my quote. Abstrator 00:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I often move one-word definitions of the term to the ====Synonyms==== section when they seem to reiterate a more verbose and clear definition in the main section. If you feel that my edit compromised the clarity of the definition, I won't take offense to your fixing it. Rod (A. Smith) 00:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I have begun my revision, to discrimiate nuances. I am still uncertain whether "spoilsport" is appropriate - I didn't put it there and am leaving it for now.

 * The second stage of the revision will be to:

 * - add other senses, such as "chunk of wood" (as the basis for "blockhead" and extensions thereof), "thick end of a joint of meat" (which leads to "blunt end of anything"), plus verbal forms, etc.

 * - reformat to create appropriate subsenses, which will show relations as mentioned above, and will meaningfully combine some senses without loss of nuance.

RFC discussion: March 2012–August 2017
Six senses, perhaps as little as three distinct senses. The thick end of something, seems ok, the bully sense is at rfv, the other four senses seem to be all overlapping, I think they're either two senses or one. They are:

 * 1)  An incompetent or unsuccessful person; a loser.
 * 2)  an unintelligent person; a blockhead.
 * 3) a gullible person; a sucker; someone easily taken advantage of; the target of a scam.
 * 4) someone lacking good sense - especially considered so for being scrupulous or unselfish.

Surely unintelligent, gullible and lacking good sense are all the same sense. The top definition is actually mine though I'm not happy about it. I think 'chump' is a catch-all pejorative term a bit like 'dickhead' but can also imply stupidity. Can anyone suggest a good way of defining this in either one or two definitions. If I could do it, I would have done it by now. Translation tables would also need revising. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:41, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * An unsuccessful person could merely be unlucky. Repeated lack of success is evidence of incompetence. "Incompetent person; loser" seems legitimate.
 * I think "a gullible person" is a central sense and is much more specific than "a stupid person".
 * Foolishly unselfish or scrupulous, if attestable, is also distinct.
 * Frankly, they all seem distinct. I don't know that they are all attestable, but the "overscrupulous person" sense seems the most questionable. DCDuring TALK 00:06, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I suspect the gullibility sense is off the mark: a chump is someone who's been taken advantage of (or is intended to be), not just someone who's gullible enough to potentially be taken advantage of. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:47, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of cites like: "You're just the kind of chump they'll get to do the dirty work." The characteristic seems prior to and distinct from the exploitation of the characteristic. DCDuring TALK 23:44, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:embarazado

Removed grammar lesson
I removed the following because it doesn't belong in this standard past particile entry nor is it accurate:
 * === Usage notes ===
 * Not used as an adjective, since the feminine form would be embarazada

Contrary to that claim, all Spanish past participles, including this one, can be used as adjectives. For example, this one can be attributive or predicative, agreeing with the modified noun in both cases:
 * Mis tías embarazadas fueron...
 * Mis tías están embarazadas.

Rod (A. Smith) 09:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The point is that this was previously a redirect to embarazada with the description: Should end as "-a" to make it feminine, as it describes prengancy. I recreated it to make the point that the specific form embarazado (with an -o) is used in the perfect tenses (with haber), but would not be used as an adjective to agree with a woman because it is the masculine form.  Your examples about las tías are perfectly good examples -- of the adjective in feminine and plural form.  There is already an adjective article about embarazada, when writing this I intended it for the verb form only. –Andyluciano 19:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I also find your edit title of remove incorrect grammar lesson to be a bit overdone, and I take it as a personal insult and patronizing. What do you think I am, stupid that I don't realize this things?  Of course you can say las tías están embarazadas!  What you cannot say is la tía está embarazado nor ella ha embarazada a alguien, and that was what I was trying to illustrate.  Call it poorly articulated, but don't call a "incorrect grammar lesson", please.  –Andyluciano 19:50, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * My apologies if my "incorrect grammar lesson" note offended you. I should have chosen my words more carefully. What I meant is that entries for past participles should not each say "Not used as an adjective, since the feminine form would be ...". Grammar lessons about classes of words, like past participles, do not belong in dictionary entries of for words of those classes. For consistency, I suggest the following:
 * The entry for "embarazada" should be treated like every other feminine inflected form of Spanish past participles. It should be only a minimal definition, pointing to the main entry for the past participle, embarazado.
 * The entry for embarazado should be treated like every other Spanish past participle entry. It should only be a minimal definition, pointing to the main entry for the verb embarazar.
 * I called the previous version "incorrect" because it said this:
 * Not used as an adjective, since the feminine form would be embarazada
 * All past participles in Spanish can be used as attributively. The only reason you don't tend to see embarazado used that way is because, as you well know, most Spanish nouns for females are grammatically feminine. However, note the following grammatically correct sentence where embarazado is used attributively:
 * Un miembro de cada familia está embarazado.
 * Note that miembro is grammatically masculine so its modifying adjective is properly inflected in the masculine. Rod (A. Smith) 21:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd just like to note two things: firstly, that there is a distinction between a past participle and an adjective, despite the fact that the one often turns into the other. It is quite right (IMO) for there to be an adjective entry at embarazada (not just a soft redirect), since that is by far the most common form of the word. Also remember that embarazada is also used as a noun meaning ‘pregnant woman’. Widsith 21:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree about adding " " to embarazada, but I don't think I agree that inflections of past participle entries should be split into " " and " ". Indo-European languages consistently allow participles to function as verbal adjectives. In fact, that's a common definition of a participle. From Verb:
 * In the Indo-European languages, verbal adjectives are generally called participles.
 * So there seems to be no benefit into splitting out participle entries into both "===Adjective===" and "===Verb form===". Rod (A. Smith) 22:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's the same with English, and we happily do it there, although I admit that I'm not always happy with the result. However, while there are probably borderline cases, embarazada doesn't seem like one of them...it is clearly used largely as an adjective and not just as a participle (ie it can qualify a noun directly and doesn't require auxiliary verbs etc). I get why you made the changes, but in a way this is a special case, being applied almost exclusively as a feminine form. Widsith 22:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * OK. Maybe some example sentences on embarazado and embarazada would help show people how to use the terms. I'd recommend keeping one that uses embarazado attributively, though. Rod (A. Smith) 22:21, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
