Hebrew verb sense. — msh210  ℠  23:15, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Does Job 37:6 count? The Even-Shoshan Dictionary lists as an imperative from, with the same meaning as the actual imperative of , and gives Job 37:6 as the only citation. According to Wikipedia, modern secular scholarship puts authorship of Job at somewhat after the first exile, by which point I imagine Hebrew had received silent final em kria aleph from Aramaic, so it could have had the same pronunciation as well, so maybe we're just talking about an alternative spelling. (I can't think of too many examples of final tzeirei-hei -é in Hebrew — can you? — whereas in Aramaic tzeirei-hei-mappiq -éh is a very common ending and tzeirei-alef -é is an existent one, so to me this seems like a logical way to respell it — as does , which also exists, e.g. in Pirkei Avot, but which the Even-Shoshan Dictionary does consider to be just an alternative imperative of , rather than a separate word from such.) Given all that, Strong's could perhaps be excused for inferring an actual *. If we do count Job 37:6 as a citation for *, then this automatically passes under the "well-known work" ConFI, but a usage note is almost certainly warranted. Even if we don't, we'd need an entry here for Job's , so all we need is to rewrite some and add a usage note. —Ruakh TALK 04:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Normally I'd take a scholar's word for it, but הָוָא?? Does ibn Ezra or Kimchi say anything? (If I remember to, I'll check it out.) —  msh210  ℠  18:13, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

RFV failed, entry for replaced with entry for. I've added the Job quote. —Ruakh TALK 18:01, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

הִוא (hí)
The way the usage note is written, it implies that the pronunciation was once hu. Do we know this? Or could it be that it was always pronounced hi but written הוא? --WikiTiki89 (talk) 16:16, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't think the usage note implies that — at least, I certainly didn't intend to — but the Masoretes certainly recognized that there was a discrepancy between the received consonantal text and what they believed to be the correct pronunciation. (Since hí is a qere perpetuum, it's not the most obvious example for the uninitiated; but for plenty of examples where the Masoretic Text is quite explicit about such discrepancies, providing the inherited text and the emended pronunciation separately, see .) —Ruakh TALK 17:29, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * It's the first sentence that I think sort of implies that:
 * The received text of the Bible (the Masoretic Text) has many instances where הוא is written, but the context indicates that the feminine counterpart is needed.
 * It sort of sounds like you're saying that it is pronounced hi only because of the context. We don't know whether that is the case. I would have said that the word is היא but spelled differently for unknown, possibly etymological or grammatical reasons. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 17:55, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Hmm. How about changing the first sentence to “The received text of the Bible (the Masoretic Text) has many instances where the normally-masculine spelling הוא is used in a context where a feminine form is expected”? And expanding the first mention of הִיא into “the usual feminine ”? Would that solve the problem? —Ruakh TALK 18:13, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I made a few changes (diff), what do you think? --WikiTiki89 (talk) 21:30, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't quite agree with that; the Masoretic view is not quite that הוא is pronounced /hi/, but rather, it's that we write one word and read another. I mean, I guess the usage-note kind of implied otherwise even before your change, but now it's pretty explicit about it. :-/  —Ruakh TALK 22:09, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * But do we know that that's what the Masoretes' view was? I think it would be better if we don't assume either way since we can't know for sure. Analyzing what the Masorete's may have thought is more Wikipedia material. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 20:54, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm certainly no expert on this stuff, but — yes, I believe we do know that this was the view of the Masoretes. —Ruakh TALK 22:18, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Can you find some references? --WikiTiki89 (talk) 06:04, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * For the general concept of qere and ketiv, just Google those terms. I think it's impossible to be aware of the idea, and of various instances of the idea, without accepting that this was the Masoretic view in general. So I assume that all I need to provide are references that refer to הִוא as an instance of qere and ketiv? Here are two such: one · two. —Ruakh TALK 15:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * You seem to know more about this than me. But just to clarify, the way I see it is there are three possibilities:
 * The spelling הוא originated as a spelling error and was intended to be היא.
 * The spelling הוא was the original intended spelling despite the pronunciation always having been /hi/.
 * The spelling הוא was the original intended spelling and was originally pronounced /hu/ but someone (either the Masoretes or someone before them) changed the pronunciation to /hi/.
 * The way I understand it is you are claiming that we know option 3 is the case. Do I understand correctly? (And if so, as an unrelated side question, do we have any idea why הוא was used instead of היא?) --WikiTiki89 (talk) 19:58, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * All three of those possibilities seem possible to me — if not all equally probable — and I'm not claiming that any one of them is correct. (If I had to guess, my guess would be that there was a dialectal difference within Biblical Hebrew, and the dialect whose spellings we use is not the dialect whose pronunciations we use. I know that sounds strange, but a similar sort of thing is why English is pronounced like .) In particular, I am not advocating view #3. I'm just saying that the Masoretes recognized a discrepancy between the word that they wrote, הוא, and the word that they read, /hi/. The Masoretic view was that they were actually reading something different from what was written. It was not their view that there existed some single word that was spelled הוא and pronounced /hi/; it was not their view that the word הוא was sometimes pronounced /hu/ and sometimes /hi/; and it was not their view that the word /hi/ was sometimes spelled הוא and sometimes spelled היא. If they had believed any of those three things to be the case, then they would have felt that they were reading the same word as was written. But they didn't. Instead, they believed that one word (הוא, normally pronounced /hu/) was written, and a different word (/hi/, normally spelled היא) was read. Do you see what I'm saying? —Ruakh TALK 20:24, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * (BTW, dialect differences are also my guess at why the second-person masculine singular pronominal suffix is just a kaf-sofit, but is pronounced /χa/. Origen's Hexapla shows that it was actually pronounced as just a final consonant (no vowel); except that the Dead Sea Scrolls show that it was actually spelled kaf-hei. So I imagine that Origen's Hexapla and our spellings are both based on dialects where the ending was just a final consonant, spelled kaf-sofit, whereas the Dead Sea Scrolls and our pronunciations are both based on dialects where the ending was a consonant plus a vowel, spelled kaf-hei.) —Ruakh TALK 20:31, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Ok, thanks for clarifying! I made another change to the usage note, what do you think of it now? Also, can you refer me to where I can read more about all this dialectal stuff? --WikiTiki89 (talk) 20:39, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Re: usage note: I've made a further change, let me know if you dislike it.  Re: dialects: These specific guesses ({Hebr|הוא|lang=he}} for /hi/, ־ך for /-χa/) are my own, so I can't point you to sources. (I mean, they're very natural guesses, and I would be shocked if I'm the first person to think of them, but I've never read any explicit discussion for or against them.) And I'm really not an expert on this stuff. But if you'd like your appetite whetted further on the general subject of Biblical Hebrew dialectology, check out Biblical Hebrew and (for one example) Israelian Hebrew. And have I already recommended Joel Hoffman's In the Beginning: A Short History of the Hebrew Language to you? —Ruakh TALK 20:58, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah I'm ok with the current usage note. And thanks for the reading suggestions. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 05:45, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:oh my days

I can't find usage of this as a unit. I can find "Oh! My days ....". I also don't find support for "my days" being a euphemism for "my God". But perhaps someone has a better intuition. DCDuring TALK 21:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Three relevant hits at . All "snippets", though. —  msh210  ℠  21:25, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added one and might dig up more later. The phrase is definitely real; I'm not certain about the euphemism for "my God" (though I believe I originally suggested that on here — somebody created the entry from my WT:REE request), but it's the impression I got from a few people who used to say it. Equinox ◑ 20:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I'd have thought there would be more sound similarity if it were directly from "oh my god". Could it be from Anglo-Norman, French, Italian, Portuguese? Or somehow from "in all my days", perhaps as an eggcorn? I can't find anything from any dictionary, except lots of uses of "in all my days" for an expression of surprise or shocked outrage/offense. DCDuring TALK 21:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Cited. I also included a cite for "oh my heavenly days" (which IMHO indicates the probable origin of the phrase — not a euphemism for "oh my G-d", but rather, a shortening of a slightly different oath) and one for "oh my fucking days" (which suggests to me that at least one speaker doesn't consider it much of a euphemism). On the basis of what I've found — the 1907 cite in the entry, and a bunch of the hits at — I'm not sure that the "oh" itself is really an essential part of the interjection. (Which makes sense to me, since IMHO the same is true of other "oh my ____" interjections.) We should maybe move the entry to my days. Whether or not we do that, we should also add a redirect from a version with "heavenly", or else we should have a full entry for that version. —Ruakh TALK 02:35, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

oh my days
I may be wrong but I believe it actually came from a saying "In all my live long days!" which shows not only that something is noted as being unexpected but that it has not been know to happen in a long time. The slight difference in meaning no longer making sense to have originally been "My God!" - that would more likely have been altered to "My goodness!" for those not wanting to blaspheme. --Siouxhart (talk) 15:14, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Siouxhart

Rfv-sense: fermented grape juice, ie, wine. I'm not familiar with such a sense. I am familiar with "juice of the grape" in this sense, say, in drunken rants reported in fiction. In what contexts would this occur? DCDuring TALK 23:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

 * That makes sense as the possible context, but isn't it a case of the liturgy using the word "wine" to refer to grape juice rather than the other way around?

Request for deletion
rfd-sense: (in conjunction with verb be) In existence or in this world; mention of unspecified location, somewhere.
 * there is something amiss.

This doesn't seem right. Other dictionaries call this kind of usage a pronoun, which seems better to me. See there. DCDuring TALK 18:06, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Not really a pronoun, either. I'd lean towards calling it a preposed adverb.  Consider:
 * There is something I'd like to say.
 * In the letter is something I'd like to say.
 * This helps (a little) to show that there is not functioning as the subject in the first example. It's merely a sentence order inversion from:
 * Something I'd like to say is there.
 * --EncycloPetey 18:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * It definitely originates as a preposed adverb, as you say, but its current usage seems to me to have spread out a bit. Firstly, there's certainly been semantic bleaching (consider e.g. "There's something odd here" — or for that matter, "In the letter there's something I'd like to say"); secondly, it's used in cases where I think any other preposed adverb would sound odd (consider e.g. "I expected there to be a problem", "He demanded there be an inquiry"); thirdly, many speakers have granted it singular status regardless of its complement (e.g., "there was an apple and a clock on the table"), and in AAVE it can sometimes (always?) be replaced with "it" (e.g., "people tell me it ain't no way", which I heard on the street last night). —Ruakh TALK 18:54, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * And all of that can be explained by adverbial status, yes? The additional sentences you've given are still inversion of normal sentence order ("I expected there to be a problem." vs "I expected a problem to be there.")  Contraction with the verb is not limited to one part of speech: "The boy's insane!" (noun); "Larry's gone home." (proper noun); "He's not here." (pronoun); "Now's the time to act." (adverb); "Clean's better than dirty" (adjective); "Never again's my motto." (phrase).

 * The question of "always singular" can be interpreted as "invariant because it's an adverb". Incorrect verb agreement is not limited to this expression, as I often hear manglings such as "We was late," or "None of you walk away now!"  Using a singular verb when a plural form is traditionally used is a general phenomenon independent of the use of there. --EncycloPetey 23:44, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * So you would argue that in each of the following pairs, both versions are equally acceptable (or equally unacceptable, in the case of the last one)? :
 * There's something odd here. vs. Here's something odd there.
 * I expected there to be a problem. vs. I expected here to be a problem.
 * He demanded there be an inquiry. vs. He demanded here be an inquiry.
 * [pointing at a photograph] There's us. vs. We's right there.
 * If so, I suspect that you and I must spend time with very different sorts of people. (Note: I'm not specifically saying that it's not an adverb; I don't know for sure. It seems almost meaningless to apply terms like "adverb" and "pronoun" to a single use of a given grammatical word, when no other word shares its grammar. What I am saying is that I think that for many speakers of Standard American English, this usage is simply an expletive subject with delayed semantic subject, just like "it" in " It 's well known that the sky is blue ." This makes it very tempting to label it a pronoun, since English's only other expletive subject is a pronoun, and it definitely feels more natural to classify a subject as a pronoun than as an adverb.)
 * —Ruakh TALK 00:22, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

 * If we permitted English words to be classified as "Particle", then that's where I'd prefer to see this go. Failing that, I prefer "adverb" (which is a very nebulous category) because it is so closely tied to the verb, and because the label of "Adverb" permits a broader range of functions than does "Pronoun". Oh, and yes, I have indeed heard people say "We's right there," or "There's us," although fortunately not so often now that I live in a different area. --EncycloPetey 01:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree that "particle" would be best. And yes, I've also heard both "we's right there" and "there's us", but I really don't see how you can view them as equally (un)acceptable. To me "there's us" is semi-acceptable in some instances and completely acceptable, albeit informal, in others ("Who all is coming?" "Well, let's see … there's the Smiths … there's the Joneses … there's us, of course … and … um, I'm not sure who else."), whereas "we's right there" is always quite unacceptable. (If I were a prescriptivist, I think I'd call "there's us" something like "O.K. in colloquial speech", and "we's right there" something like "please retake kindergarten".) —Ruakh TALK 01:25, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

 * So I've thought about it further, and I think you may be right that insofar as we can't use "particle", "adverb" is more accurate than "pronoun"; there's not a clear line between usages like "there you are", where "there" is clearly adverb-like (specifically, I think it's an intransitive preposition), and usages like "there's many books there", where it seems to have ventured off the worn path of any POS. I mean, these two uses are very different from each other, but you can devise a fairly continuous walk from "there you are" to "there’s the book I was reading" to "there's the book I was reading" to "there's a book I was reading" to "there's a book there" to "there's many books there", and it's really impossible to say where on this path it stopped being an adverb and started being a pronoun. Or rather, it's too possible: any step seems reasonable, but none seems convincing. —Ruakh TALK 18:13, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Is "it" also a "preposed adverb" by this logic? Somehow the etymology seems more important than usage in this classification decision. And we seem to be in disagreement with prevailing lexicographic practice. DCDuring TALK 18:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm not really referring to the etymology, but rather to the entire range of current uses, which includes everything from original and obviously-adverbial (or whatever) uses to ???!!!-ial uses that, according to your comment below, cispondian dictionaries call pronominal and transpondian ones adverbial.
 * As I said above, usage doesn't really support any POS very well. There is no POS that exhibits this sort of behavior. AFAIK English has exactly two expletive subjects: it: (otherwise a personal pronoun), and there: (otherwise an adverb/adjective/preposition/something). Neither one's expletive use is really predictable from its non-expletive use; and this would hardly be the first time that words of two different parts of speech have overlapping grammar (cf. adjectives and attributive nouns).
 * Overall, I really hate our need to discretely identify a word's languages, parts of speech, etymologies, etc. These things are not always discrete.
 * I'm happy to follow cispondian dictionaries in including a pronoun sense — that's certainly more convenient, as it gives us more room in which to explain the range of uses — but I don't see why we can't also follow transpondian dictionaries in listing it as an adverb. ("In existence; see pronoun section below.")
 * —Ruakh TALK 19:45, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

 * That would be fine. I see that some "there [copula]" usage can have more than a hint of adverbial "placeness". Longmans DCE strikes me as a leader in grammar and usage presentation in a dictionary. That they choose to have the pronoun PoS is meaningful and makes it less of a cis-/trans- thing. DCDuring TALK 20:36, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Longman's also has an "in existence" sense under adverb, with these three clearly-non-pronoun example sentences:
 * The chance was there, but I didn't take it.
 * The countryside is there for everyone to enjoy.
 * Three months after the operation, the pain was still there.
 * These share the semantic bleaching, but not the grammar, of the "there is ___" uses.
 * —Ruakh TALK 20:45, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

 * It wouldn't have occurred to me to try to call those usages pronominal, related though they are semantically. They seem to me to behave more like most normal, boring adverbs. DCDuring TALK 22:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I believe you've mis-read Ruakh's comments. Those instances are marked as "adverb" in Longman. --EncycloPetey 17:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Longmans is a leader, yes, but that does not mean that they always make the best choices. I've been trying to decide why the "semantic coloring" argument does sit well with me, and have finally figured out why.  Consider the reversibility / non-reversibility of the following parallel constructions:
 * * "There is an old house on the hill." / "An old house on the hill is there."
 * * "It is an old house on the hill." / "An old house on the hill is it."
 * * "Green Gables is an old house on the hill." / "An old house on the hill is Green Gables."
 * * "Decaying is an old house on the hill." / "An old house on the hill is decaying."
 * * "Scary is an old house on the hill." / "An old house on the hill is scary."
 * The first of each pair only sounds right for the first three. The fourth pair's first half sounds odd, and in the fifth pair, the first half of that pair has grammar that would only be found in a fortune cookie.  So, an adjective or participle doesn't work for reversibility.  In similar fashion, the latter half of the second and third pairs sound wrong.  Neither a pronoun nor adjective works properly in the predicate position.

 * The question, then, is whether the first pair is a reversal in which the meaning is truly preserved, or whether there truly is a shift in the meaning and/or emphasis. I haven't fully decided how I come down on that issue.  I can see both as having the same meaning, but perhaps not.  Sometimes the second half of the first pair sounds normal, but it can also come out like Yoda-speak.  It does seem a bit of an archaic form to me. --EncycloPetey 17:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure that I understand, but I'd like to. I think I agree with your readings of the naturalness of all of the sentences above. As to "there": to me the "place" senses could be considered adverbial in all cases. The usages that don't seem to fit are most clearly seen in: "There is a certain something about him that I really like." There_(!!!) could be pointing involved, but not plausibly. "Something there is that doesn't love a wall."
 * In some of the real cases involving what I consider the quasi-pronominal usage of "there", ambiguity remains because the sentences can be read with a "place" sense. But many cases have left behind even the most virtual kind of spatiality.
 * In "There is an old house on the hill.", "there" could be about "place", but it is more likely about existence. For it to be about place, it would need extra stress on "there". Then it might be equivalent to "An old house on the hill is there.", which doesn't seem very natural unless "there" is accompanied by physical pointing or is read as equivalent to "An old house-on-the-hill is there." (or "An old-house-on-the-hill is there.") DCDuring TALK 19:12, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Could there have been a pondian cleavage in labeling this. Tellingly, Cambridge American calls it a pronoun; Cambridge Advanced Learners shows the same usage as adverb. Oxford shows adverb. Longmans shows pronoun, as does Collins. Webster's 1913 shows both, but is reticent about calling it a pronoun as was Webster's 1828. Webster's 1828 expresses a somewhat reluctant acceptance of this "meaningless" usage. The other American dictionaries show pronoun, if they cover it (as WNW does not). I suppose that the label doesn't much matter, but keeping it an adverb gives more weight to etymology and Chaucerian usage than to the nature of current usage. DCDuring TALK 19:36, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Then, I did not have a copy of CGEL. Now I do. They call it a pronoun, both when used with be: and in its other non-locative uses, into which they classify "There remain many problems.".

Let me remind all of Oakland, California of which Gertrude Stein reportedly said: "There is not there there.". It is beyond my pay grade to read this as three locative there:s. Let there no more debate about this subject here on this page. DCDuring TALK 20:44, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree that there can be used metaphorically to mean ‘there at a point of completion’ as you describe. You’ll occasionally hear posh English people when asked by a waiter how there food was say ‘It’s really there!’, so it can mean ‘there at a point of perfection’ too.

Talk:tsun

Request for deletion
At a local lexigraphy meeting over the weekend, a member pointed out a number of entries from Wiktionary. I will have more to say later, but for now one class of entries in particular were quite troublesome. After investigating the Wiktionary guidelines, I believe the following are invalid:

 * catty
 * chek
 * fan
 * tsun

Generally the same comments for all above words:

 * "Romanization of the cantonese word [fill in blank]". Romanizing a word into Latin characters alone does not make it English.
 * Does not appear to satisfy any of the four criteria given at CFI:Attestation
 * Clearly widespread usage: does not appear in any English dictionary at hand, including several large international editions, nor can I find any such widespread usage in actual English lexicons
 * Usage in a well-known work: none. The single reference is to a Hong Kong legal document under the heading of "Chinese [language?] unit". At best that would make it a legal term limited to Hong Kong, but still not "clearly widespread" or "well-known".
 * Academic journal: apparently none
 * Three independent instances spanning at least a year: again, none
 * Our groups has two Cantonese speakers. They both said that while they knew the word in Cantonese, that they would not expect these words meaningful in an English context and would replace it with a number in metres.
 * In my opinion, a transliteration of a word from another writing system is still a word of the associated language, not an English word. bd2412 T 02:32, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * catty appears in MWOnline and probably in Websters 1913. t'sun appears in a units of measurement glossary. I didn't find the others, but there may be some other spellings. I haven't done searches for citations, but at least these two would seem to warrant move to RfV. There is nothing about transliterations what would mean that a transliteration that had attained usage in English couldn't be in wiktionary. For example, nyet and troika are arguably transliterations. I would just submit each of these to RfV to see if they are attestable in English. They might appear in some travel books or something commercial about Hong Kong, for example. DCDuring TALK 03:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Predictable but, why not an RFV? If the meanings given can be attested in English, why not keep them? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:58, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Agree, RFV. One cite  for chek is pretty easy to find on b.g.c.; it wouldn't be terribly surprising if there were two more, somewhere amidst all the scannos and typos.  There is no a priori reason to assume that these are not words; they should go through the standard verification process.
 * But regarding this meeting... These people have the time to pore over Wiktionary content, identifying words that they think are out of place -- but they don't have the time to flag the entries for verification or cleanup?  Or they just think such things are beneath them?  I gotta say, it seems kind of douchey from where I sit. -- Visviva 09:56, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:all over

all over
rfd-sense: adjective "done, complete". usage example: "It's all over now".

This seems misleading to language learners. It implies idiomaticity and the need to memorize when other forms of "all over" are idiomatic and this is not. The situation is confusing enough without introducing this canard. "All over" is idiomatic at least as an adverb and probably as a preposition and all-over is an attributive adjective derived from the adverb.

"It's all over" can be read at least two ways:
 * 1) As the entry shows. But this is unsupported by any of the OneLook dictionaries that have an entry for "all over". Furthermore, "all over" does not meet the usual tests for being an adjective:
 * 2) It does not work as an attributive adjective,
 * 3) It does not form a comparative.
 * 4) It is not gradable.
 * 5) As "It is completely over" (all as intensifying adverb}. "All" can be omitted, just as completely can, with the expected reduction of intensity. "Over" behaves more like an adjective, accepting many adverbs that make it gradable (though not for many speakers "very" or "so"), like "almost", "completely", "about".

The challenged sense was previously the sole sense of the adverb all over. MWOnline had three missing senses for this adverb. DCDuring TALK 17:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Request for deletion
The idiomatic portion of this is [[around the clock]]. This should be a redirect to that entry. DCDuring TALK 10:05, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree. Lots of verbs can replace work, although I bet work is the most common by far. Delete/redirect. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

fest + werden. -- Prince Kassad 22:28, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:29, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Given that Festwerden is readily attestable, would this be affected at all by the proposed alteration of CFI? -- Visviva 01:49, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No, that's a noun (no?) while fest werden is a verb. AFAICT it's to become fast (as in set). Mglovesfun (talk) 20:38, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 * D'oh, good point. But the verb festwerden is also attestable; the infinitive is uncommon, but it's easy to find the past participle.  Still not sure it matters, though. -- Visviva 02:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Look at those hits, the 1400 hits become 331 on the last page, and as often happens (although I have no idea why) I only found one actual use of festgeworden, the rest were either fest geworden or well, nothing. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:45, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:arena ice

Request for deletion
The definition doesn't look right, although it was taken from Wikipedia. On closer look, it seems that this is just the ice in an arena (I'm kinda assuming that curling isnt normally played in an arena, but know nothing of the sport) --Rising Sun talk? 02:35, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Well curling is usually played in an arena, isn't it? Assuming the definition is correct (which I doubt) this would be idiomatic as it's a euphemism for sub-standard ice used for curling matches. Maybe move to RFV for that reason. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:50, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is necessarily substandard. Just different. A simple Google News seach suggests this ice is just different - maybe even better. Note the following quotes.
 * You always want to get back and get that experience and play on that arena ice.
 * Every time we get to play on arena ice is special
 * We don't want to put our backs to the wall early, but we're back on arena ice, which is our favourite
 * We're happy with the way we started our year but we still have to play better and we're going to be playing on arena ice, which is completely different.
 * The ice conditions were similar to Edmonton and we don't get to play on arena ice very often.
 * Somewhat damaged your own case there, it does look idiomatic to me as it's taken on implied meaning, thus more the sum of its parts. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:26, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Curling is best played on ice that is specifically made for curling. I don't go into details, but the requirements are different from those of skating ice. Thus "arena ice" refers to makeshift curling ice made on a skating arena, with properties that differ both from skating ice and perfect curling ice. Keep --Hekaheka 12:14, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree. Delete. Equinox ◑ 18:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It would never have occurred to me that you can say this, and lo, there it is. I guess you also want to delete ; . Some dictionaries have "blow to pieces", as the Google books search shows. Both phrases look peculiar to English to me; I can't "rozfoukat na kusy", "vyhodit do povětří na kusy" or "zničit na kusy" in Czech. So it looks idiomatic in the sense that is not used by CFI, that is idiomatic--"of a multi-word phrase, peculiar in its composition to the particular language; not capable of being translated word-for-word to other languages". --Dan Polansky 21:51, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or make a hyperlink. The Wiktionary tutorial is a more wordy, multi-page document that helps you through those same formatting issues, and also touches on a couple of other issues relevant to editing.

Talk:neeshchʼííʼ

Also meaning "nut"?
Can this also be the default term for "nut" (any kind of nut), as the term for "almond" is derived from this term? 71.66.97.228 02:13, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

 * It can be used for nuts in general, but not for a particular kind of nut other than a pine nut. Each kind of nut needs a different word. —Stephen (Talk) 18:54, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Is there a generic word meaning "nut"? 71.66.97.228 19:04, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Not exactly like the English. Many languages do not have an equivalent of the English word nut. French noix means walnut, but is sometimes forced into a square hole to make it mean nut as in English. The closest to a generic term is neeshchʼííʼ, which can be nuts in general, but you can’t call any particular kind of nut a neeshchʼííʼ unless it’s a pine nut. —Stephen (Talk) 19:32, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you; I have tried to make that clear in the entry. Perhaps a section "Usage notes" would be better. 71.66.97.228 21:30, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * No need to say that a term is not exactly equivalent to an English word, because no Navajo word has an exact equivalent in English. Few words in any language have exact equivalents in other languages. Some words tend to have closer equivalents, while other words such as nut only have hyponyms or hypernyms in other languages. —Stephen (Talk) 08:05, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

This information should be added to the entry. 71.66.97.228 05:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

 * That kind of information is called etymology. You have to wait until somebody writes an etymology. Right now, we are generally not doing etymologies, because Navajo is a spoken language and not well attested in written documents, so some or many entries might wind up being deleted. —Stephen (Talk) 19:36, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
