User talk:Morgengave

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

 * 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 create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.
 * Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome! --EncycloPetey 22:08, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

WT:MEW
Hi morgengave, I see you've been creating Dutch verbs. (thanks by the way). After you finish creating a Dutch verb or adjective, can you please enter them in WT:MEW so that our feline bot can go through and create verb forms / adjective forms automatically? Make sure you understand the instructions on the page. If you have any questions, leave a message on my talk or CodeCat's. We will be glad to help. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 21:29, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi! When you add inflection tables for verbs, be sure to check whether the form you get when you add -e to the stem is the same as literally the stem+e. In the case of schallen it's not, because schal+e = schale which isn't right, it should be schalle. You have to provide a second parameter in those cases, which the -e added manually. I did it for you now, but please take care of this in future. Thank you. 21:38, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Also,  means that the past tense of the verb has -dd-, which isn't the case here. It would be used for verbs whose stem already ends in -d, such as luiden.  21:39, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Etymologies and language codes
Many of the templates on Wiktionary use language codes to determine which language is being used. In the case of the template there are two codes: the first is the language the word came from, and the second is the current language. If you leave out the second code, like you did at vrijdom, it assumes that it's an English word and adds it to the category for English words. That's not right in this case, so you need to use instead. Can you please fix that and any other entries you did that to? Thank you. 22:16, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You just added to the category 'Proto-Germanic terms derived from Proto-Germanic'. That can't be right...  21:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * So how do I correctly link the two? Which template do I need to use? By the way, Wiktionary has quite a high level of entry. It's difficult to do things right. Morgengave (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The most important thing is to check things to make sure it's all correct. It's ok if you make mistakes or don't know how to do things, you can always ask. It's much worse if errors are left unfixed where they can sit around for months or even years. The template is just like, it's used only when a term is descended or borrowed from another language. (It's actually a leftover from the time when we did not have proper language codes for reconstructed languages like Proto-Germanic, so we may get rid of it sometime in the future.) If you want to link to a Proto-Germanic term, you can use  (in lists of words, shows in normal styling) or  (in running text, shows the term in italic). In the case with  you should probably use .  21:42, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

dungō
Hello! I saw where you have added the Dutch word to the Appendix. You are certain that the Old Dutch word is feminine? I see that it is used in placenames, one being Dungus. I am not certain myself of the gender, but we have another entry at for the masculine forms. Leasnam (talk) 22:43, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I am not 100% certain, and you could be right. The modern word is feminine:, which is also the gender it had in Middle Dutch and Early Middle Dutch (yet the related donc "cellar" was masculine). Direct attestations of Old Dutch words are rare, and much of our knowledge comes from toponyms, which are often unclear on word genders or were "Latinized". The WNT does not directly assign any gender to the old Dutch word: . Perhaps someone with more knowledge on Old Dutch or Proto-Germanic can help? Morgengave (talk) 23:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, well if the Mnl word was fem, then prob the Onl was too. That's good enough for me. Leasnam (talk) 23:38, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I had to revert your recent edit to as dauw: appears at. It is masculine is it not? Leasnam (talk) 04:08, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are completely right! Morgengave (talk) 14:58, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Header levels.
Please take care with header levels. If a "Noun" section contains a "Synonyms" subsection, then the "Synonyms" header needs to have one more set of equals signs than the "Noun" header. For example:

===Noun=== ... ====Synonyms==== * ...

Diet
Would you be able to provide citations that show this word being used in modern Dutch? 18:26, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi CodeCat, the word is clearly archaic or poetic, but it has been used in Modern Dutch, especially by late 19th century writers (as referenced by the WNT):

 * Waar sterft een groot en edel diet? (Rodenbach, 1876)
 * (...) nu bloeien kunst en kunde van 't Rhetorieklijk diet. (Rodenbach, 1877)
 * (...) 't roekeloos, zeeminnend vlaamsche diet. (Gezelle, 1882)
 * In onze gilde is 't jonge diet aan 't groeien (...)! (Gezelle, 1894)
 * Ok, could you add them to the citation page of diet, according to WT:CITE? 13:25, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

zwarteter
Hello, what sort of lexicon is that word (eg. a slang word, a colloquialism, a pejorative, etc.)? I'm curious about that. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 01:15, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * For me, it's a fairly neutral word, but I can imagine it being a bit pejorative for some speakers. It's mostly a colloquialism, but that's - I think - because not a lot is written about people leaving a restaurant without paying. Morgengave (talk) 11:04, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. It doesn't seem like a slang or colloquial word to me, but it may be perceived as a kind of neologism because it's not used much. People are more familiar with zwartrijder and such, so they will probably catch on to the idea behind this word. 13:47, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I undid my edit as a precaution against misleading a future reader. On an off-topic question (maybe...), is there a way to share Wiktionary entries on Facebook? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 14:41, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, you could post a link. (Do you mean some JavaScript share buttons to the principal social networks in the corner? I would support that.) —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 14:44, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * What will the rest of the WMF think about the JavaScript share buttons in various projects? I'm not sure if I even know about them. (And BTW, Meta, Could we mingle about translating some more of Aung San Suu Kyi's quotes into Latin? Do I sound like I flirt?) --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 15:11, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? they don't exist (yet). And no, Latin and flirting are somewhat mutually exclusive to me. But I'd be glad to make more translations for you, make a list on my talkpage. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:07, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

In my opinion, "zwart-" tends to be productively used to denote the illegality of an action, especially the non-paying aspect. The words zwartwerker and zwartrijder are well-established, and in recent years others are being formed like: Also interesting, grijs ("gray") is being used in a similar way to denote the partial illegality of an action. Examples: grijsrijder (to use public transport for a longer distance than for which one has paid: ) and grijskijker. Morgengave (talk) 19:34, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * zwartkijker: someone who had a tv and did not pay television tax or increasingly someone who watches unfree content without paying
 * zwartlezer: someone who reads unfree content without paying
 * zwartreizer, and indeed
 * zwarteter

-erij
This is a separate suffix but it was formed by attaching -ij to words already ending in -er, as well as from loanwords that already had -erie (from Latin -arium). It was only later that people started adding -erij directly to words following these examples. bakkerij for example is definitely bakker + -ij, not bakken + -erij. See. 13:56, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Also the suffix -erij, like -arium, originally meant a place with a collection of something. A planetarium is a place with a collection of planets, an armarium a collection of weapons and so on. But bakkerij is not a collection of bakken! However, boekerij is a collection of books, so that is boek + -erij. 13:59, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Codecat, thanks for the comment. I will undo my edit. Just fyi: I have based my edit on the entry "bakkerij" in the WNT: "In het Mnl. nog niet aangewezen, althans noch bij VERDAM, noch bij STALLAERT voorkomende; waarschijnlijk eer afgeleid van bakken dan van bakker." Also, I never wrote that bakkerij denoted a collection (the suffix -erij however can). If bakkerij descended from the verb bakken, as I thought, it's clearly related to the activity/craft. Words like burgerij and boekerij on the other hand are indeed denoting the collection/group. Morgengave (talk) 14:05, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * burgerij is burger + -ij though, because burg + -erij would make little sense. Personally I think that at some point -er and -erij started to be perceived as pairs of related forms so that the existence of one would automatically imply the other. So any agent nouns in -er could then automatically form a noun in -erij for a place associated with that profession, and vice versa. However, I'm sure that bakker existed long before bakkerij did. The same situation happens in English too, but -ery says that bakery is probably baker + -y. Perhaps the difference is really irrelevant, but if we can show that the -er for existed before the -erij form, I think that the latter was probably formed by adding -ij to the former, rather than by back-forming and then adding -erij directly to the verb. So I'm more inclined to believe that bakkerij is bakker + -ij than bakken + -erij. After all, is it primarily a place associated with baking, or the place of a baker? 14:15, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that makes sense. Yet, for many words, it will be nearly impossible to prove that a word descended from the agent+ij or from the verb+erij. From the moment -erij was productive, I am not certain that people were still using the agent as the building block for a particular word. E.g., the word "visserij" is for me more connected to the act of fishing than to a fisherman. What would you suggest as a practical solution? It is not that important in the end, but it would be nice to be able to group words. Morgengave (talk) 14:31, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Not always denoting a place
Hi CodeCat, I disagree with this part of your edit: "Place associated with an activity" which replaced "Activity". For me, -erij can denote the activity itself, without fixing it to a place. Examples: kokerij, (veel)vreterij, vrijerij, denkerij (zwartwitdenkerij, hokjesdenkerij...). These words now sound a bit dated, yet they are still used and the suffix remains producing similar words. Morgengave (talk) 14:41, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That should be a separate sense then. kokerij doesn't seem that different from koken used as a gerund, really. 15:06, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Template for adjectives used as nouns
I have created a new template,, which can be used for nouns like that are really adjectives that are used as nouns. I hope it is useful. 20:56, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds great! Good work, CodeCat! Morgengave (talk) 21:00, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

*falhaz (m.) vs. falgō (f.)
(I pasted this from the talk page on *falhaz.) I read in both The Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic by Guus Kroonen et. al. and on the website etymonline that the proto-form of the English word fallow should be *falgō and not *falhaz. I also checked on oldenglishtranslator that the grammatical gender of fealh is feminine and not masculine. May I see what source the editor of this appendix is using to cite information? For now I will create a new appendix page under *falgō to link to fallow and fealh instead.Nayrb Rellimer (talk) 01:29, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Wers
I see you added a Dutch section for the word wers. As a native speaker I have never encountered the word wers, and I couldn't find it in any online dictionary. Given that the meaning is such a common one, it is at best archaic or dialectical and certainly not standard Dutch. Can you give me an account on when you encounter the word "wers"?Merijn2 (talk) 13:42, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It's archaic and only survives in West-Flemish dialects. One source would be the WNT: . Morgengave (talk) 19:06, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

draak/drake
Morgengave, heb je een bron voor de betekenis "woerd" van draak? Ik kan niets vinden in het WNT; etymologiebank noemt het met deze betekenis niet in het Nederlands. In elk geval lijkt het me ronduit misleidend om "draak" zonder enige waarschuwing als vertaling te geven voor drake in de betekenis "woerd"; dat is geenszins standaardtaal, en voorzover ik kan vinden is het dus zelfs niet regionaal of verouderd Nederlands. – gpvos (talk) 11:54, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits there. Do you know whether the word is formal or not in Belgian Dutch? Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:26, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * @Lingo Bingo Dingo Dialectal/regiolectal hence colloquial only. In formal written language it is hardly ever used in Belgium, possibly due wanting to avoid confusion with the widespread colloquial use. Morgengave (talk) 20:35, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, are both meanings commonly used in Belgian colloquial language or only the second? Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 07:42, 14 September 2016
 * @Lingo Bingo Dingo. The standard meaning is not commonly used in Belgium. However if the word would be used in formal written language like books or newspapers, it will carry standard meaning. However, this is not without risk with as readers could read it with colloquial meaning in mind. Morgengave (talk) 20:05, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll add country-specific labels to both senses then, and tag the standard meaning with "formal". Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:51, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

 * What Sven's saying is that -ken be an archaic form, with -ke being the more current form. (I have no opinion on that.) Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 11:41, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * -ken is still used (e.g., Manneken Pis, restaurants like 't Heilig Huizeken and 't Appelken, the modern song "Een Aardig Vrouwken", etc.), and it is also very often encountered in older texts - Modern Dutch on Wiktionary covers the 15th-16th century until now. Normally, final -n after a schwa is not pronounced in Dutch (we lopen is often pronounced as we lope, same for twee bomen is often pronounced as twee bome). As such, -ken covers -ke, as -ken would in many situations be pronounced as -ke. I would prefer not to duplicate in our lemmas. Also take along that -ke(n) is not often used in writing, and hence there is no modern standard. Morgengave (talk) 12:26, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

 * My try, with additions/conjecture in square brackets, I'm not sure about two parts labelled "[?]":
 * Yes. First, it is awkward that modern Dutch is so broad (early Dutch i very likely 've problems reading, just as with Shakespeare. Second, if first line is standard contemporary lect, I'd still go for -ke, f.e. and other examples are findable [=can be found], I'd say (after all, f.e.  is still modern Dutch, no? and  (though you guys are better placed [to know], I mainly know nowadays-lects a bit) -- one I do know: f.e. "BoomsCHe metaalwerken"; we don't put this in say a definition line, right? (Okay, it's the English Wiktionary here [but you get the point].) Now it may well be that early Dutch is underrepresented (but I never look such entries up) in [the] English Wiktionary (and that is then [a] shame, the more the merrier!). You are right about the silent final -n, problem is that Brabantian is mainly spoken; as -ke often occurs in names,  some are written though. I'd say on balance more are with -ke, and we describe, right?(But yes, your point is valid about older forms and that'd be near-duplicating, yes. I am not gonna RV [those] or such, I just liked to say (as well as possible) my two cents, might give some more examples if I find 'em (but your points are valid too, hm/yes; perhaps we'd alternate 'em or, perhaps better, just leave 'em as the original editor did, analogous to the US/British English policy (I am not gonna duplicate, not worth it; or we [could] go for -ke(n), [though I] already think you won't like that, but it would accommodate the Suske & Wiske example nicely, and your examples [as well] (I feel it's perhaps the best solution now, hm). Also, thanks for today's many improvements!
 * So Sven suggests either a compromise diminutive ending -ke(n) spelling (which would however be a problem in linking to entries) or alternating along similar lines as American and British spellings, leaving it to the original editors. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I have my own opinion evidently, but why not come all together (Sven, me, Kleio, CodeCat, Lingo Bingo Dingo, others) and make a consensus guidance page on dimunitives. For example, even if we include -ken and/or -ke, we should in any case add a qualifier that it's regiolectal, not standard. And what with obsolete diminutives like -lijn? What with Holandic -ie (makkie, dommie, jonkie, etc.)? Morgengave (talk) 22:01, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, this has been in WT:RE:nl for a while, but it doesn't seem to have enough attestations anywhere to be included as a Dutch word. However, it (and the variant boterschijter) can probably be added as West Flemish. Could you perhaps add it? Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 13:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

For a normal user it's helpful to know that "jawadde" is a dialectal word, possibly from the West-Flemish dialect.

groep, eilandengroep, doelgroep
I think these words may have undergone masculinisation in Belgian Dutch, perhaps under the influence of. The WNT has "groep" as feminine and "der (eilanden)groep" is significantly more common than "den (eilanden)groep" on Google Books. I'll add both genders to them, in any case. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:56, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * This is interesting. (Belgian) Dutch almost always takes the original gender in French (unless it's a Latin "neuter" word where Dutch, especially for "learned" words, tends to restore the original Latin gender), due to the interaction and active knowledge of French in school and work. And indeed "groep" is without a doubt masculine in Belgium. I am wondering where the feminine gender comes from? I am not doubting the sources, but just out of interest - I would really doubt that historically a (pre-)Belgian Dutch speaker would have mixed these genders up seen the high prevalence of the French word. Morgengave (talk) 11:03, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That's indeed curious. (According to the Etymologisch Woordenboek van het Nederlands, the word probably comes from Italian, but that's also masculine.) The (Northern) Dutch word is already feminine in these texts from the 17th century.  Spellings that resemble the French become more common in the 18th century, but feminine gender occurs even in combination with French-inspired spellings.   The only clues left are that related words are also feminine in German and Yiddish, Scandinavian (originally), several Slavic languages and in the Rhaeto-Romance languages. Maybe it wasn't borrowed from Italian, but from a Rhaeto-Romance language? Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:42, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Or because of the initial final -e, which is normally a marker of feminine words (cf masculine gaard vs feminine gaarde, cf advocaat vs advocate, etc. ). Even after the loss of the final -e in most Dutch words, the initial gender is usually kept (like zonne --> zon, spinne --> spin, etc. -- they all remain feminine). It's interesting how selective the WNT has been with its sources, with all used attestions being feminine, while Google Books shows a high prevalence of masculine forms between the 16th and 20th century (at first sight even much more than feminine?):, , , , etc. Morgengave (talk) 15:24, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, "der groep" certainly seems more common on Google Books than "den groep", and ditto for "eene(r) groep" and "eenen groep". 'Hits' for "den groep" in books before 1800 are so far invariably scannos for "den groey/groeij".  Hits for "den groupe" before 1800 are scannos for "den gronde"   or "den grouwel"   The exception is "eenen group" which appears in a 17th century Belgian Dutch text by van Mander (the oldest attestation).  Bizarrely, the WNT does quote van Mander, but doesn't note he uses the masculine gender. I'm not sure the final -e explains the feminine gender in the Netherlands, because those spellings are generally quite late, being influenced by French.

According to Etymologiebank, the first attestation is only in 1577, which makes it no longer Middle Dutch. WNT sometimes has post-1500 terms so you have to be careful for this. —CodeCat 18:53, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

bergère
Would this word be readily understood in Flanders in the sense “shepherdess”? Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:49, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi LBD, I have never heard of that word before in Dutch, only have heard it being used in French. Morgengave (talk) 13:14, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Right, it looks like a sense that only appears in or up to the 19th century. Do you think "obsolete" is appropriate for Belgian Dutch? Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 13:34, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok for me. It's certainly not part of Standard Belgian-Dutch nor of the Tussentaal. Could still be used in one of the local dialects. Morgengave (talk) 13:41, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

academisch
I wondered whether the pronunciations with back vowels and/or schwa are also valid for (Standard) Belgian Dutch. Some references from the Netherlands only transcribe the first 'a' as back, by the way. Would you mind having a look?

With respect to, I'm not really sure modern speakers would recognise it as meaning "bicycle" rather than "wheeled vehicle". Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:57, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi @Lingo Bingo Dingo. Interesting question. As far as I know, the standard language doesn't prescribe pronunciation, but I'd agree that the word would never be pronounced like that in formal Belgian Dutch (nor would it in most dialects). On wieler, I just can't imagine any native speaker having difficulties understanding the word if it appeared in a normal conversation or a text (i.e. with some limited context). But if one encountered it as a single word you are likely right it would require some guesswork. What label do you propose to give it? Morgengave (talk) 22:55, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * All right, what pronunciation(s) would be used in Belgium? Only with an initial ?
 * That's a good point, and when the word appears in a text it is often also called velocipède and it takes similar prepositions (op and van(af). But I have seen only one use that was more recent than the 19th century. What about "archaic"? Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 11:26, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Dutch words with "Afro-"
I think the official spelling would be Afro-Belg, Afro-Vlaming, etc., but I am not complete sure. The Woordenlijst has Afro-Surinamer and related terms. There is also Afro-Amerikaan, although that is of course uninformative for this matter. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  18:25, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I found attestations for both spellings and the words haven't gained a lot of currency yet, which I suppose is normal as they are fairly recent neologisms. Your finding however gives us a good analogy, and I am supportive that the hyphenated word becomes the main lemma, with the unhyphenated form being an alternative. Will you move them? Morgengave (talk) 19:58, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Edits at neger
I've made this a subsection because it is topically related to the above discussion. As I wrote in a recent edit summary at I don't agree with all the changes, but it appears a better idea to discuss it lest we run around in circles. To recap, noting its potential offensiveness; before that the usage information in the entry was absolutely inadequate. In August of this year, for the first time in years, in my view adding both some necessary updates but also some undesirable prescriptivism; so, trying to centre the views of those denoted by the term and cutting down on the prescriptivism (and also removing a horrible, terrible description for Van Dale Online). Finally,, focusing on its continued neutral use. It may be that usage in Belgium and the Netherlands is diverging somewhat, but my impression is definitely that in the Netherlands people with a black Suriname or Antillian background are more likely to find neger offensive; this contrasts with white but also e.g. Cape Verdean or Eritrean perspectives (not to mention perspectives from non-black, non-white demographics, which are seldom noted). Its offensiveness vs. neutrality is also affected by other factors such as familiarity with US culture like you mention, but also interaction with black people (in particular Afro-Surinamese and Antillian in the Netherlands, so associated with the larger cities of the Randstad), age, social and economic background and ethnicity. As for its neutrality, I don't think it can still be described as a neutral term for my part of the Randstad; use of the term would at least be marked, if not as anti-woke at least as "not keeping up". Sure, you can find black people who prefer it as a self-designation, but that is not very common in the Randstad at least. So I think that is relevant information that applies to the part of the Netherlands where I live. I think that can be incorporated along with information about continued use intended as neutral. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  17:34, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your inputs. I have been trying to find the right description of the complicated usage, but I admit that I may not yet have found the perfect way, and all thoughts are welcome. For certain, many black people in the Benelux consider it an insult - I just don't think this is limited to black people with Surinamese and Antillian roots - that's why I removed that sentence btw - I am supportive to re-include this wider "many black people" grouping, or restore to the narrower grouping if evidenced. The risk of offending is why I have added both the offensiveness and the 'certain' neutral alternatives. On the other hand, it's only roughly since 2010 that this word has become controversial, and large swathes of the population (at least in Belgium, but I suspect the same in the Netherlands) continue to use it colloquially, intending it neutrally and meaning no insult. While it is important that readers of the lemma understand the potentially offensive nature, it is equally important for readers to understand that a speaker (and writer) using the word may use it neutrally. This is the comprehensive description I have been trying to formulate. I can btw evidence such recent intended "neutral use" both by opinion pieces surrounding the word as by examples of actual usage. (This isn't meant as a reflection of my own usage or view on it btw!) PS: there are also indications that the word has been re-appropriated by at least some black people in the Randstad Morgengave (talk) 18:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree it is important to note that neutral use continues to take place. Reappropriation is also important to note, compare the usage notes for the n-word. Perhaps it is time to involve more people in the discussion, to get more input on what to include and what to omit? Overall I think the entry is already doing a rather good descriptive job relative to other Dutch dictionaries. And if you compare it to cognates of neger, the Dutch entry gives a good overview of continued use vs. possible offence. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  19:24, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Involving additional contributors is always a good idea, even more so in this case as it's a complicated and potentially sensitive topic. Just for my own understanding: what changes to the usage notes do you personally propose? Morgengave (talk) 20:54, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd support more distinction in noting the perception of offensiveness by demographic, but I'll leave it up for debate which demographics should be included if any. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  14:41, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Please be bold! I only removed the demographic mention because I found it potentially misleadingly narrow (only Suriname and Antillean), and not because I am against mentioning a demographic generally. Noting that black people generally would find it offensive at a higher frequency (than any other demographic) seems a very fair note to me. Morgengave (talk) 14:52, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Var
Hallo Morgengave,

Pure nieuwsgrierigheid, waar heb je dit vandaan. Ik had het woord nooit gehoord, maar enig zoeken leverde het wel op, maar dan in de betekenis van jonge stier, niet zwijn. Zie WNT. Jcwf (talk) 22:21, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Dag Jwcf, dit stond in Van Dale tussen 1872 en 1924 met de betekenis "mannelijk zwijn" (ook zo gemeld als opmerking in het WNT overigens en ik heb het in 2013 allicht hier uitgehaald; zie helemaal onderaan de bladzijde: ), maar na verdere uitpluizing nu: waarschijnlijk was deze betekenis louter gebaseerd op Bilderdijk en reflecteert dus allicht geen echt gebruik. (zie p. 123: ). Die betekenis zouden we dus kunnen verwijderen. Morgengave (talk) 22:46, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I can strongly recommend against simply trusting early editions of Van Dale to reflect general use. I've run into a few in those editions. ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  07:29, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Edit at en
You have edited to reflect its continued use in Belgium, but the examples you gave ("ik heb dat vaccin nog en niet eens gehad", "dat hij het en niet meer weet") have a different syntax from the preverbal en that I know from early modern Dutch texts ("hi en ginck niet") and from the poetry of Gezelle ("'t en zal"). I think this is enough of a difference that an explanation in the usage notes would be helpful. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  07:26, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not a native user of it btw, I just hear it. I'll pay more attention to it so I can describe usage. It's only used in double negations and I believe in most/all cases it comes directly before "niet". Usage may differ in Brabantian (Antwerp + Flemish Brabant) vs West-Flanders though. While likely not attestable in writing nor in formal speech, I can offer a recent video which shows normal colloquial usage as part of the tussentaal: at 1:51-1:52 (only audible, not present in the subtitles). Morgengave (talk) 07:54, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * This probably explains the use of only en in negations (in the quote of Gezelle), it's used to contradict previous statements; I would have thought that was a rare kind of shortening used in short clauses. Anyway, elsewhere in his poetry en [finite verb] niet/geen seems to be the norm. So I guess his usage does not differ a lot in that respect from modern West Flemish. (Also, that video has as a feminine noun, which our entry did not cover at all. Is its use as feminine ubiquitous in Belgium?) ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  09:00, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I would say "het", and I do believe "het" is more common in Flanders than "de", but yes, feminine usage also exists. Reading the source you shared: "hij en heeft niet veel geld" also sounds as something which fits with colloquial Brabantian, so my above earlier statement may have been wrong. Morgengave (talk) 09:42, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I presume you're mostly familiar with Brabantian usage? Would a sentence like "zij en ging niet naar de foor" sound unnatural? It seems a good idea to also get a sense of whether it is used in Limburgish or in the Southern Dutch of the Netherlands before we add any notes about contemporary use. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  11:52, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think that could be valid usage. Indeed, I don't feel comfortable making a usage note on this. Also, it's not dominant - many speakers don't use it, but meeting those who do, isn't hard. More importantly: it's in my view not consistently used: I know speakers who sometimes use it, f.e. in one sentence, and in another, they don't. There may also be a rule behind this. Morgengave (talk) 12:07, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added some usages notes; I was going to describe obsolete use and fossilised modern-day use in proverbs in the Netherlands, so I thought I might as well include what I knew about modern use in Belgium. It would have been strange not to mention it at all, really. The particle wasn't really dominant in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries either (there are plenty of places were it is absent), it was just a lot more common. By the way, could probably use some review, and perhaps you could also review the definition I provided in the usage notes. ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  08:32, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

label and usage note at Holland
About the Dutch entry, the label says that the pars pro toto for the Netherlands is "proscribed". Since that kind of unrestricted usage is typically Belgian, I'd like to ask whether that is true in Belgium? I'm not really sure whether it is even proscribed in the Netherlands, rather than just something that is often frowned upon. Also, could you perhaps check and improve the usage note on Belgian use? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  09:11, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I can only speak for (my own experience in) Belgium. Here, we do use it as a name for the Netherlands, albeit only in colloquial language, rarely in formal writing. In formal writing it would refer to the historical province or the current provinces. "Holland" in its colloquial sense also carries a slightly pejorative/derogatory meaning, unlike "Nederland". Same for "Hollander", unlike "Nederlander". This also means, in my perception, that it is rarely used (even colloquially) in neutral contexts (e.g., one would not say "Ik rij naar Holland morgen" or "ik ben op vakantie in Holland" - unless it's really about the province(s)) but one would use it in a context where a bit more colorful language fits (e.g., "we spelen tegen Holland morgen" or "dat arrogante Holland"). Morgengave (talk) 09:37, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

 * If you don't mind me chipping in this late, I come from outside the Randstad/Holland, and there it really feels like it's proscribed. I've definitely heard people correct others (foreign and Dutch) when they used 'Holland' for the entire country. Also, have you noticed that in the last decade or so the word Hollands has come to denote 'white' Dutch people, more and more replacing Nederlands in this sense? 2001:1C02:1919:7F00:5D11:5755:D0E6:C7E 12:05, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

bloem's gender
Hey, A long time ago it looks like you changed the gender of bloem from m/f to f, however About_Dutch has a paragraph on why it should be m/f. While the ideal laid out in that section doesn't seem to be consistently met, should bloem be reverted back to m/f? Or maybe the standard in the About Dutch page should be updated? If Rectangular potential (talk) 19:58, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the About Dutch page needs an update here. The current example doesn't make any sense. I agree we should respect the historical genders as they were in the early Modern Dutch period (in the areas where the historical f/m-distinction wasn't lost yet) - and these genders are also extant (save a few exceptions) in contemporary Belgian-Dutch. This seems the right/logical solution to a complex situation. It should however still be Modern Dutch, not Proto-Germanic. Even in Middle Dutch and Old Dutch, the word bloem was feminine.

 * Kim Kardashian is not the namesake of Kim Jong-Il. The North Korean leader's name is actually, 김정일 (according to Wikipedia), with Kim Jong-Il being the Romanisation (and in any case "Kim" is the family name). Similarly Michael Schumacher and Michael Portillo are not namesakes, as the German name is not the same as the English name, even though they have the same spelling and similar etymology. Thryduulf (talk) 11:21, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I hypothesize that most folks would actually view the namesake relationship within a naming convention as applying only among names of a given class (given names, first name, surname, patronymic, etc), though some may use the term more broadly.

 * That Kim Kardashian in Kim Jong-Il are namesakes, presumably as they share a first name(?)
 * I disagree - they share neither given name nor a surname - the "Kim" in the Korean's name is a romanisation of his family name "김"
 * That Michael Schumacher and Michael Portillo are namesakes because they share a first name
 * I disagree - the names are cognates (they are both descended from Hebrew) and coincidentally have the same spelling, but they are not the same name.

Use of the f word
In some shows that are rated pg (such as news or current affairs) there are uses of the f-word (both in text (f***) and speech (f-censor)). Why is it OK to have those when it clearly means "fuck"? Why do they not have to use "****" or "$&£|€*@$+*¥" instead? --Ababcdc1 (talk) 23:04, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Chinese translation of "f-word"
I don't know why "三字經" is Chinese translation of the "f-word", have any confirmed sources can prove this?

えた

Etymology 1
Probably derived originally as a compound of.

The kanji form first appeared in 1296 in the folded book. The word itself appears as the earlier form etori in 935 in the, with this and later sources indicating that the word originally meant the job or profession of preparing food for hawks and falcons. Over time, this came to mean anyone dealing with butchery, which itself was viewed as an unclean profession, and by extension then the untouchables of Japanese society.

As alternate theories, eta may have developed out of association with the word, or from the word.

Talk:えた

Noun sense: offensive?
Considering that えた denotes the lowest group in Japan’s caste system in the Edo period (1603–1868), surely this term is, rather than ; or is it also an offensive synonym of a standard term for said Japanese untouchables? — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 12:33, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm not a native speaker so I don't have a sense for it, and I've never heard this word spoken, but I was going off of Jim Breen's WWWJDIC which lists it as vulgar (see http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C) and wikipedia's page "Burakumin" which says "In the feudal era, the outcast caste were called eta (穢多, literally, "an abundance of defilement" or "an abundance of filth"), a term now obviously considered derogatory." It looks like "burakumin" is the standard term, probably sensitive by itself, and eta is an offensive synonym.  Not exactly deep research, but that's my two cents.  Haplology 16:48, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

 * That makes sense. Could you add the kanji or hiragana form of undefined: as a standard synonym to the entry, please? — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 18:37, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Done. According to English WP, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burakumin#Terminology) the term I added is the most PC.  It is abbreviated to just "burakumin" but that is apparently more common in English than in Japanese.  Haplology 01:54, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:VDL

I believe that the following initialism should be included in this page, but it was removed without explanation or justification by SemperBlotto, given this user's propensity for this type of behavior, I am starting a thread on the subject here. If there are particular reasons why this initialism should not be included, I would like them to be identified here: KlappCK 15:06, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Visible Diaper  Line: Derived from VPL.

 * Can you provide any evidence for its use (not mentions or definitions). There's nothing obvious on the first few pages of Google book hits. SemperBlotto 15:22, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Regarding Google Books hits, I did not realize that appearance in Google Books is a hard requirement for inclusion in Wiktionary. That said, if one uses Wikipedia's use-mention distinction criteria and Wikitionary's criteria for inclusion, it appears to me that this definition appears to meet the Wiki criteria: its use is widespread and it is used to convey meaning in at least three independent instances spanning more than a year.KlappCK 17:50, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll take this extended period of silence as encouragement to try the edit again before going to dispute resolution.KlappCK 15:36, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No. We are still waiting for you to provide evidence. SemperBlotto 15:45, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Evidence of what? What does it take to placate you?  What evidence are you using as justification for repeatedly reverting my edit?  All I am asking for is a clearly explained rational for excluding this term per wikimedia guidelines.  I do not want to take this to dispute resolution.  I would like this to be a teachable moment for either or both of us, not a dispute over the relevance of Google book hits.KlappCK 15:11, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

See below - From Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion SemperBlotto 15:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

 * “Attested” means verified through
 * Clearly widespread use,
 * Usage in a well-known work, or
 * Usage in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.
 * I don't see how it meets "widespread usage" as you claim. Just a small handful of Google Web hits and nothing in Books. Equinox ◑ 15:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I suppose that we may have different interpretations of what "widespread usage" means. It is used to convey meaning, with or without definition, on multiple pages dealing with (infant) child-rearing, incontinence, and diaper fetishism, which, to me, satisfied the meaning: what other community would you have using the term?  I would also note that Google returns 1790 results when "'visible diaper line' VDL" is entered into the search engine.  Supposing for a moment that you would even concede my points, if they are still not enough, then I concede my argument and we can close this discussion (at least if/until the initialism sees more widespread use).KlappCK 15:50, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * IMO, diaper fetishism is such a small and little-known subculture that no term specific to it could pass on the "widespread usage" rule alone. Equinox ◑ 15:55, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

 * You don't seem to get it. You need to provide evidence, not just tell us where to look. Add a citations page (see Citations:hydrogen as an example) or provide quotations of a similar format. SemperBlotto 15:57, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Unless someone has a citation to support this definition, I suggest this discussion is closed. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I will have to supply a representative list of examples at a later time. Have you actually looked at any of the articles (even on the first page of results) when you searched for the term and initialism?  I really don't care to waste my time quoting a dozen different articles just to have someone tell me that my sources are inadmissible.  Here is but one example from the infant-rearing community: http://noteverstill.blogspot.com/2009/06/vdl.html.  The entire article meanders around the subject somewhat, so you can focus on paragraphs three and five.  This author, like many others in this "category", if you will, of users of the term, doesn't go on at length about the subject, so if this article doesn't pass as "use" of the term to you, then I am likely fighting a losing battle; otherwise, there are at least a dozen more articles like this one that I can list off at a later time.KlappCK 16:22, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Quoting "I really don't care to waste my time quoting a dozen different articles just to have someone tell me that my sources are inadmissible." Alright then, don't, that's why I said let's consider the matter closed. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Let us try to refrain from being asinine, okay? In case I wasn't clear on my meaning, I do not want to spend hours of my life trying to find a dozen examples of relevant use only to find that those are irrelevant examples due a misunderstanding on my part.  The apathy the Mglovesfun was apparently reading into my earlier statement, is mistaken, I have already spent this much time, why would I stop without clear resolution?  Allow me clarify, here is one example of use (in my opinion) from the aforementioned page:
 * That's how pajamas are sold, nice and tight, but it looks a little funny in the middle of the day. I entertained myself by becoming increasingly concerned about VDL: Visible Diaper Line. No woman likes to show her lines, right?...I am a lover of tushie waddles, and I was ready to admire her tushie, sans-VDL, of course, as she, too, wiggled into school.
 * If this isn't a clear example of use to the rest of the community, then I honestly do not understand what use is, and need clarification.KlappCK 16:36, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I wasn't being 'asinine', as you put it. I mean I was agreeing with you for one thing. Secondly, where is this example from? Mglovesfun (talk) 16:40, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I meant no offense. I suppose we had a misunderstanding.  http://noteverstill.blogspot.com/2009/06/vdl.html KlappCK 16:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * We don't consider blogspot durably archived. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:46, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay...what about the content?KlappCK 17:04, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Um, what about it? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:11, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, this is what I was talking about earlier with you. Look at the context of the conversation.  I gave this link and citation as an example of use versus definition.  You have stated (your opinion?) that the blogspot is an unacceptable source, but is the content itself an acceptable example of use conveying meaning?  That is what I want to know.KlappCK 18:19, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say it conveys meaning, yes. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:26, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Assuming SemperBlotto and Equinox or on board, I'll see if I can find a few more "permanent" webpages. Any suggestions?KlappCK 18:43, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem is that Web pages are almost never permanent sources in CFI terms, because they aren't "durably archived". See especially (which explicitly mentions the Wayback Machine, which is the best "Web archive" I know of). I just don't think this can pass; it seems to be modern, rare slang specific to a small subculture that hasn't been written about in any book or academic paper or even on a newsgroup. There's always WT:LOP if you are itching (no pun intended, heh) to add it without attestation. Equinox ◑ 19:06, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * And so this thread comes to a close...for now, anway. Here is the link to the were I have saved the definition.KlappCK 19:25, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:turn of the century

What about "turn of the century" as an adjective? Would it then be used with dashes? For instance, "turn-of-the-century fashion." 71.185.129.233 15:11, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Beginning or end?
Our definition says "The beginning or end of a certain century." Does this mean that eg "at the turn ot the 19th century" can mean either around 1800 or around 1900? I always thought it could only mean "around 1800". --Thrissel (talk) 20:31, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
