Your German entries
A few things to note: 1) Please wikify your definitions. 2) Please include grammatical information about each German verb you create (i.e. headline template and conjugation template). If you are unsure how to do this, take a look at WT:ADE to get a start on how to create a German word entry, especially a verb. (Templates are listed at the bottom of the page.) Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 21:46, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I'll bear the wikifying in mind, but I'm not going to attempt to navigate the tangled web of doom and dismay that is German grammar and its templates. My goal is not to make every page perfect, nor is it to become a proficient Wiktionarian(?). My goal is to blitz through this book and add its definitions as efficiently as possible, then go back to Wikipedia. Cheers! --Cryptic C62 (talk) 13:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Genders please, g=m or f or n (for masculine, feminine and neuter). Mglovesfun (talk) 16:24, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't know the genders; the book doesn't mention them. --Cryptic C62 (talk) 16:25, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You can normally figure out the gender of German compound nouns by looking at the last part. Thus Arbeitskamerad: would have the same gender as Kamerad:. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:30, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

Two things:

 * I've edited your user-page, I hope you don't mind, to give the correct format for that reference. (, despite its name, is designed to be used as metadata for a quotation, not for a reference. That's why the year comes first, and in bold, and that's why it ends with a colon rather than a period.)
 * I hate to ask this, but — could you give me some reassurance that you're not copying translations/definitions out of that dictionary?

Thanks,

—Ruakh TALK

03:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Regarding the reference template: thanks! As a Wikipedian, it did seem a bit confusing, but I figured it would be more efficient to just run and gun than to question the colons (you don't see that phrase being used everyday...).
 * Regarding the definitions: Where it is possible to paraphrase, I have made an effort to do so. Take, for example, the word Abschußring.
 * Michael 2002 reads "Hit ring. White markings on the barrel of an antiaircraft gun indicating each enemy plane shot down."
 * My definition reads "literally, "hit ring". Refers to markings made on the sides of antiaircraft guns indicating how many enemy planes had been shot down."
 * Other terms only give a single word for the definition, in which case I just copy the word to preserve meaning rather than make something up. For example, Michael 2002 defines abladen as "To unload." Not a whole lot one can do there!
 * I hope this satisfies your concerns. --Cryptic C62 (talk) 13:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * It doesn't, really, no. It sounds like you're creating a derivative work. —Ruakh TALK 13:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Are you suggesting that the paraphrasing is too close? Or that the words shouldn't be in Wiktionary at all? --Cryptic C62 (talk) 13:53, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Perhaps the words should be in Wiktionary, but not by taking them in large numbers from a copyrighted dictionary without permission — no matter how much paraphrasing you do along the way. —Ruakh TALK 14:12, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Eventually, theoretically, there will be a Wiktionary which includes definitions for every single word in every language, and that Wiktionary will include all of the words in this book, as well as every other historical dictionary. This is not debatable; it is the vision statement of the WMF. Left to their own devices, Wiktionarians would eventually define every word in this book (well, almost all of them. see below), some without giving any references at all. I'm simply speeding up the process and making sure the authors get the credit they deserve. You call it a derivative work, I call it being efficient.
 * Frankly, I'm a bit mystified by the notion that I would need permission to paraphrase from a reference work. Isn't that what Wikipedians have been doing for 10 years? What I'm doing here is no different than what Rambot did, nor is it any different from the work that I did with Who's Who in the Theater?. Both endeavors yielded results which persist to this day. --Cryptic C62 (talk) 14:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Paraphrasing from a reference work is fine — and creating a reference work is fine — the problem is when you do the latter by doing the former. Wikipedia includes content from out-of-copyright encyclopedias, and it includes quotations and paraphrases from other works, but it does not include articles that are mere paraphrases of articles from copyrighted encyclopedias. —Ruakh TALK 15:26, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Furthermore, it is not as though I am blindly copying every single entry in this book. There are several hundred which have no place on Wiktionary, such as "Ahnenerbe-Forschungs- und Lehrgemeinschaft", "Neuaufbaugesetz vom 30.1.1934", and "Reichsbund für Leibesübungen". I only use the words which Wiktionary should include. --Cryptic C62 (talk) 14:58, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * That's good; but I'm not sure that it's enough. —Ruakh TALK 15:26, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I will gladly cease and desist when there is certainty in the matter. You could start a centralized discussion to determine community consensus, which I would abide by. Or you could find some relevant precedent, if any exist. Or you could ask an administrator to block me. The opinion of one contributor (or a small number thereof) is not enough to dissuade me from doing valuable work. It's nothing personal—even if Chuck Norris, Jesus Christ, and John Petrucci all appeared on this talk page and shared your concern, I would still continue. Cheers, mate. --Cryptic C62 (talk) 15:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I have been asked to weigh in as an intellectual property attorney. The copyright on definitions is generally thin, but it exists, and will be more strongly applied to a reference work that has specialized definitions not found in other works. Are there no public domain works that define these terms, or some appreciable subset of them? If you can either find public domain sources, or at least a selection of other such dictionaries to use as a source of words to be defined, you would greatly reduce the chance of running afoul of copyright law. By the way, to be clear, the work from which you are 'paraphrasing' is relatively recent. Its authors are probably still making money from it, and would be more inclined to sue infringers than the authors of, say, a forty-year-old book would be. Also bear in mind that if it comes to the attention of the authors of a work that their copyright is being infringed, they can force Wiktionary to remove all of the definitions you have added, and can sue you personally. Wikimedia would be compelled by a court order to provide any identifying information underlying your edits, such as IP addresses, and your internet service provider will provide your personal information (name, address, etc.) which will be made public in court documents. The statutory penalties for copyright infringemnt, as many music downloaders have discovered in recent years, can run into the tens of thousands of dollars (and that is not even considering actual damages, such as loss of sales, which can be pursued in the alternative). In short, it's not worth the risk. If you really want to have these words included, I suggest you look for other sources to define them. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:27, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Thank you for taking the time to explain this. I will refrain from adding more definitions for the time being. I may also contact the authors and see what their thoughts on the matter would be.
 * In the meantime, let me pose a hypothetical situation: Suppose a person happens to know that the definition of "abladen" is "to unload". Suppose such a person, who has no knowledge of Michael 2002, adds that definition to Wiktionary without citing a source. Suppose that the authors of the book happened to see this definition page and thought to themselves "Well, hey! These assholes used the same definition that we used in our book! Let's sue the fuckers!". Would their claim of copyright infringement be valid even though "to unload" is the only possible definition of "abladen" that could concisely and accurately convey its meaning? Forget about the other words, forget about my actions for just a moment; I'm just wondering about this one (rather plausible) situation. --Cryptic C62 (talk) 16:40, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Presuming that there are multiple sources in which such a definition could have been found, it would be impossible to prove copyright infringement in that case. Note, however, that if an author laid out a list of, say, fifty such translations selected by some subjective criteria, you would be liable if you copied the exact list, even if you paraphrased the definitions. bd2412 T 17:06, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict) Fair enough. Suppose that those fifty translations were copied/paraphrased by fifty different editors from around the world over the course of several years? If the authors did somehow notice that all fifty translations had been used, and if those fifty translations did not appear in any other sources (which might very well be the case, I haven't checked), could they sue Wiktionary/WMF for copyright infringement? How about the individual editors? --Cryptic C62 (talk) 17:14, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * To add to what bd2412 says — there's no law, sensu stricto, against coincidentally creating a work that is identical to someone else's copyrighted work; that is, there's no obligation on a writer to check for the existence of previously-existing work. So the question is whether the similarity is sufficiently "striking" or "substantial" — see Substantial similarity — that it seems to be evidence of copying rather than coincidence. If the situation with is as you describe, then it would not, taken alone, be such evidence. —Ruakh TALK 17:11, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * In response to what Ruakh has said: Let me make sure I've got this straight. If a contributor doesn't check any sources and happens to come up with a definition that matches a source, that's fine, but if a contributor does check a source and then references it properly, that isn't fine? --Cryptic C62 (talk) 17:17, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, what do you mean by "check a source"? If a German-speaking contributor decides to add a certain word, writes an entry for it, consults a source to confirm that the information is the same so that it can be listed as a reference, and then so lists it — which is what "check a source" sounds like to me — then that's absolutely fine. But if a non–German-speaking contributor is going through a copyrighted German-English dictionary and adding words to Wiktionary about which (s)he knows nothing other than what the dictionary says — which is what you seem to mean by "check a source" — then yeah, I think that's a problem. —Ruakh TALK 17:31, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * By the way, I think that — while not directly related to the issue of copyright violation — it's worth pointing out here that whereas Wikipedia is a tertiary source, taking information from secondary sources, Wiktionary is a secondary source, based directly on our analysis of primary sources. For example, when a definition gets challenged at Requests for verification, we go directly to source documents to see how the term is actually used, rather than putting faith in books and news articles that talk about the term and try to tell us what it means. So we're not dependent on references in the same way that Wikipedia is; references are great, but even better are quotations where a term is actually used. —Ruakh TALK 17:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict) Your interpretation of "check a source" is correct. Let me make sure that I'm reading this correctly: Consider a Wiktionary entry which gives the definition of a German word and gives Michael 2002 as the reference. What you seem to be saying is that if such a page had been created by a non-German-speaking contributor with no prior knowledge of the word, it could be construed as copyright infringement; if it had been created by a German-speaking contributor with prior knowledge of the word, it wouldn't be copyright infringement... even though the resulting entries would be identical. Is this really what you're telling me? --Cryptic C62 (talk) 17:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't state it quite so categorically — if I went through a Hebrew-English dictionary and copied hither all the entries for words I knew, that would be a blatant copyright violation, even though I already knew the words — but that's roughly true, yes. Suppose that I determined with 100% absolute certainty that an entry of yours was a copyright violation, and deleted it accordingly, and then someone else came through and created a byte-for-byte identical entry. In theory, I would not necessarily have enough information to know with 100% absolute certainty whether the new entry was also a copyright violation. (In practice, of course, I would feel confident enough in 99% of cases to delete the new entry as well; but that's a practical matter, and you seem to be asking about the theoretical question?) —Ruakh TALK 17:52, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Let me put it this way. Whether a copyright infringement has occurred, and whether it looks like a copyright infringement has occurred, are two different inquiries. If we were to unintentionally recreate a copyrighted work through multiple contributors randomly adding copied words to the dictionary until a substantial portion of the original work had been copied, if it looked to the copyright owner as if we had merely copied directly, they would be within their rights to sue, because a reasonable person would think that the copying had been intentional. We (and the people who had added the definitions in particular) would then have to defend that suit by proving that the copying was incidental. bd2412 T 17:58, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * This is the manner in which I construct articles on Wikimedia projects: I find sources on a subject, summarize what they say with paraphrasing whenever possible, and give references so that readers may verify the claims presented. I don't add any information to the article that isn't covered by a source. This practice is not only acceptable on Wikipedia, it is encouraged, rewarded, and even required in some contexts. However, according to the both of you, employing the exact same practice on Wiktionary is an act of copyright infringement. How can a discrepancy of this magnitude possibly exist? And, perhaps more importantly, how could Wikipedians-turned-Wiktionarians (such as myself) possibly come to know of this danger ahead of time? To put it metaphorically, how would the blind fire jugglers ever realize that they had been moved from a circus tent to the inside of a kerosene tank? --Cryptic C62 (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Suppose that you opened the Encyclopedia Britannica article about dogs (which I assume is a rather long one), and created a Wikipedia article by taking each sentence of the Britannica article and paraphrasing it. So you preserved the exact structure of the article; your sole criterion for deciding whether a fact was worth including was "does the Britannica article include it?"; your sole criterion for deciding whether facts A and B should appear in the same section or in separate ones was "does Britannica group them?"; your sole criterion for placing fact A before fact B was "what order does Britannica put them in?"; the breeds that you mention are the same breeds that Britannica mentioned; and so on. (Britannica, of course, does not own the facts that its presents, but it does own its selection of those facts, as well as various aspects of its expression of those facts, more than just mere wording.) In that case, your Wikipedia article would be a derivative work, and a definite copyright violation. To best avoid such infringement, you would use a variety of sources, especially non-encyclopedias; you would decide on your own what facts merit inclusion, and you would present them in your own way; and so on. At Wiktionary some of the details work out a bit differently, because a copyright violation here is more likely to consist of many short entries than of one long article (though the latter is not unheard-of), but the general concepts are the same. —Ruakh TALK 18:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * So, in order to make my two-word definitions not copyright infringement, I need to either find multiple sources which will inevitably give the exact same two-word definitions, or travel back in time to the point just before I opened the book, learn German, write the two-word definitions on my own, then open the book to add the references to confirm the knowledge I already had. I believe it would be both easier and more satisfying to stop altogether and just go back to Wikipedia.
 * I wonder what Thomas Jefferson would say if he knew that copyright law—which he had originally intended to incentivize hard work and the spreading of ideas—had been transformed into a convoluted web of pure bullshit which now serves the exact opposite purposes.
 * Thank you, Ruakh and BD2412, for being so patient with all of this. Feel free to delete all of the entries I've added. --Cryptic C62 (talk) 19:59, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * To be clear, any individual two word definition will not be a copyright violation. Making dozens of them would be, if they were in fact copied from the same source. If these are common words and common definitions, why would any one source need to be relied on? bd2412 T 20:15, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Because it's the one sitting on my lap. --Cryptic C62 (talk) 20:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:unthinkable

Doesn't unthinkable also mean ideas which are not just socially unacceptable, but ideas which society actively blocks its citizens from thinking? For example, the society in Orwell's "1984" prohibits ideas about alternate governance, history, morality, etc. This is a stronger definition: an "unthinkable" idea is literally that; an idea that humans are blocked from thinking about.
 * I don't think there's a distinction to be made there. In your example of 1984, Winston thinks all kind of things but just doesn't articulate them, he's not literally prevented from thinking them. In fact, that would defeat the whole premise behind the book. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:56, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Etymology
This looks like yet another candidate to be ultimately from Latin. It really ought to be via another Romance language, such as Spanish, Occitan, Catalan, Galician (etc.) as Latin -ap often becomes -ab in these languages, such as caber from Latin capere. My gut feeling is that it's an Occitan diminutive of, and that's for all three languages. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:40, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:have Van Gogh's ear for music

Is this "expression" really fit for a dictionary. It is really just a rather bad joke at the expense of a rather good (and tormented) painter. See e.g.

http://www.vggallery.com/forum/life.htm

 * David Brooks comments: In the liner notes to the new CD, "Pictures at a Van Gogh Exhibition", John Leighton, director of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam writes "In the hundreds of letters written by Vincent van Gogh . . . Vincent says little about music. But from the few passages we know, it is clear that he had a great appreciation for classical composers."

 * So maybe his ear for music really wasn't all that bad. Making jokes about people with mental issues is far worse taste I'd think. Jcwf (talk) 02:13, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Wiktionary is a descriptive dictionary: we document everything, including the lowest dregs of humanity.Besides, compared to some of our entries, this is pretty mild. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

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 Cardan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cardan~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 23:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

User talk:Etimo

term template
I notice you're using the to add Albanian etymologies. No problem with that- but I also notice you're using "lang=la". "la" is the language code for Latin, which means that any link it creates to an existing page will take you to the Latin section. I think you want to use "lang=sq" instead (there are also codes specific to subcategories of Albanian- see WT:LANGLIST). Chuck Entz (talk) 07:22, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome
Please also consider putting a BabelBox on your userpgae so we know what languages you're familiar with. Thanks --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:58, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Glosses of Albanian terms
Hi Etimo, when you add English glosses to Albanian terms (or terms in any non-English language), please link the glosses individually. See [ here] for an example. It should be obvious that Wiktionary doesn't have entries like [[arrow, bolt]] but rather two separate entries [[arrow]] and [[bolt]]. Thanks! —Angr 16:01, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you're right, just noticed the mistake. Thanks for the tip!

Albanian etymologies
I noticed you copied a significant part of the etymology of borë from. Do you have permission to directly copy from this source? DTLHS (talk) 19:45, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

I just copied the authors notes providing the quote, I thought their opinion could enrich the accuracy of the terms's etymo. No, I didn't ask them for permission. Should I delete them?(Etimo (talk) 19:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC))
 * Generally we don't allow direct copying from any source. If you rewrote them slightly to be more in line with Wiktionary formatting they would be fine. Also consider adding a direct link to that source. DTLHS (talk) 20:11, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Language codes
Language codes are not to be used at random; they categorise entries and sq must be used for Albanian, en for English, and - when you are just comparing one term to another (more documentation can be found at ). Please see these changes as an example. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:13, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

I think I just overlooked it, guess I must pay more attention. Thanks for the tip! One question, I noticed that my posts are constantly being notified by some users because of an incorrect space layout (i.e. "spaces after header"), although I think I'm creating them after Wiki' standards used in all posts. Since I don't get where the problem lies, could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.Etimo (talk) 12:40, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean. Could you give an example? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 14:37, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

For instance, in almost all my entries the user KassadBot writes (rm spaces after header), which I assume this means he's telling me to correct the space layout of my entries. If not, what does this mean? Etimo (talk) 14:46, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * KassadBot is a robot, not a human user. You don't need to worry about that, it's just a minor layout detail which the robot will automatically correct. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:38, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Lol, all right then. Thanks! Etimo (talk) 11:15, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Please be more careful
Kalb and kalb are different. Please be much more careful when editing, because I find that I have to clean up after you. Make sure you spell things correctly (exaggeration: has two g's) and just take more care in general. Thank you. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Right, it just directed me automatically to Kalb therefore I thought it was not case sensitive. It's already happened before, there's still a lot of tricks I don't know about Wiki. I will double-check my contributions Etimo (talk) 20:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you! —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:23, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Second sense of grifshë
Do you know which lexicon that word is? To get an idea, have a look at Category:Albanian lexicons. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 03:02, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I don't think we have to list it under any particular class, it is just a common word, like shtrigë. Concerning the exact meaning, it is still unclear to me to which kind of vulture this word refers to, considering that the term has been originated to denote a mythical creature. Perhaps common vulture?? Etimo (talk) 14:14, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I mean "A contentious and loose-lipped woman." What's the lexicon for that sense? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 15:42, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Slangy I guess, same as "chatty, blabbermouth, gossipy" etc. Etimo (talk) 12:00, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Advise
Could anyone tell me how to differentiate an entry with a capital letter from a non-capitalised one? (e.g. I'd like to create "brenda" but I'm automatically redirected to "Brenda"). Thank you! Etimo (talk) 12:00, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe make a red link out of it? (brenda) --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 13:22, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to bring to your attention an issue about which I seek your advise. My contributions to the Albanian language are beeing deleted by the user Torvalu4. I generally don't mind when this happens because this is Wiki's democratic way of sharing knowledge, the problem is that the new entries seem to be abitrary and without a clear etymological explanation. My contributions find support in the works of Demiraj, Pokorny, Jokl, Orel, Lubotsky (to mention a few), while Torvlu4 etymologies have a clear tendency to derive most of Albanian lexicon from Slavic or Latin or other sources (without giving a satisfactory explanation to it) as he carefully deletes alternative proposed etymologies (from the above mentioned authors or not), apparently leaving only the one who suits him/her. I don't want to think he/she's biased, or start a useless tag war which would take us nowhere, therefore I'd like to hear other people's opinion on the matter. Thank you Etimo (talk) 12:44, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Try posting this message on the talk page of an administrator in case they haven't taken notice of the current issue. --Robbie SWE (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

 * This has been an ongoing problem, and I'm not really sure how to resolve it, because administrators like me don't have the expertise to judge who best to trust in each case. Etimo, can you please provide specific examples of etymologies that Torvalu4 removed? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:39, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your replies. I noticed that the etymos he deletes are especially those of words that find a connection or could stem from Paleo-Balcanic languages such as Thracian, Dacian, Illyrian, be of substratum nature parallel with Romanian or may derive from other Balkanic sources, as the common sense would suggest considering the origin of the language. Here are few examples: bollë, buall, bërtas (keep deleting it), daltë, krah (keep deleting it), preh, vapë, gati, gropë, frikë, kodër, urth (etymology of Demiraj, Lubotzky and de Vaan, deleted) among others, belonging to the basic lexicon which he arbitrarily describes as loanwords from other languages (especially Slavic, without explaining why), despite they have been phonetically and morphologically analysed and described as Albanian. I can't tell you which one to believe, or if it is the case here to go further into details, but I am an Albanian mother language speaker, therefore I have a clear and deep knowledge of the language and its etymologies. I don't know whether this user is also an Albanian speaker, although I highly doubt that. Etimo (talk) 01:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm... many of these are about PIE reflexes, it appears, so I'll notify an admin with PIE knowledge. I personally can't judge on a page like urth or bërtas; Torvalu4 gives phonological reasons in his edit summaries, but I don't know how accurate they are. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

The thing is that ivy in Albanian is not "hurdhe" but just "urth", while there is "hurdhe" meaning pond and garlic (with methatesized form "hudher", here the Albanian academic dictionary http://www.fjalori.shkenca.org/). In Demiraj there is no trace of "hurdhe" as "ivy" but just "urth". I don't understand where he got that. Bërtas (Gheg bartit/as) is phonologically equal to Lithuanian bàrti-to scold, chide, and Old Church Slavic brati-fight. How does he explain the Albanian schwa 'ə' stemming from Slavic u?? Based on mere similarity? Etimo (talk) 01:41, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, Torvalu4 relies on similarities (morphological or semantic) quite often. He/she did this all the time with Romanian words, opting for an Albanian origin if they shared the slightest resemblance. When confronted (I noticed that many edits were incorrect, especially in his/her earliest contributions where Romanian words were spelled using accents which don't exist in Romanian), he/she refused to answer any question about their knowledge of the Romanian language. --Robbie SWE (talk) 18:57, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

dudë
Hi Etimo,

I have a question concerning the origin of the abovementioned word.

Isn't "dudë" from - or possibly cognate with - the Turkish dut ("mulberry")? It exists in Romanian as well in the form of dudă; from dud ("mulberry tree") + suffix -ă.

Best Regards, --Robbie SWE (talk) 11:37, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

The word is clearly Indoeuropean and could be a Paleo-Balkanic substratum word. This is not suprising as in Turkish there are a lot terms of Indoeuropean origin (both from old Anatolian and European languages). This might be one of those (few) words that entered in Turkish from Albanian (like: besë> T.besa, atë> T.ata, mbush, bosh> T.boš, mbyll, boll> T.bol, rraft, rrafsh > T.raf (slavic ravnij-plain) etc) or from another European source. Of course this is just my personal opinion. Etimo (talk) 12:14, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Hmm, I see what you mean. However, Turkish etymologists derive it from Persian توت (tut), which might be of Aramaic origin תותא (tuta), with the same meaning. It's kind of farfetched that the word would have passed from Albanian to Turkish and beyond, I'm afraid. --Robbie SWE (talk) 12:31, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

I understand what you mean, I think you're right on the Albanian-Turkish loan part (considering the spread of the word), although there is no doubt that the word is Indoeuropean (in Pokorny you find the same idea). I will edit the term again though. Thanks for your useful tip. Regards Etimo (talk) 12:54, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

The "Variants" heading is not one we use. Also we do not place such things where you place them.

Please use the (L3) heading "Alternative forms" which should go immediately after the language (L2) header "Albanian".

Hi there, thanks for the tips. I'll go through my entries again and fix things after the template you just showed me. Best regards Etimo (talk) 23:03, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Ancient Greek "λαλέω"
Hello,

do you think there's a cognate for the Ancient Greek word in Albanian?

I also have another question concerning Albanian, if you form the imperative of "vazhdoj", can you say "vazhdo shruan" ('you shall continue writing'), and then, is it possible to say "vazhdo punojmë" ('we shall continue working')?

And another question, can "të" in Albanian be dropped, as example: "Nesë do thosha"?

Thank you for your answers!

Greetings HeliosX (talk) 20:49, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

1) I think the Albanian cognate of the Greek verb is the ethnonym "Lalë", which describe the inhabitants of the Albanian region "Myseqe" and their dialect, as well as a relative or a kin (after a common Indoeuropean feature to name tribes after the verb "to speak, to utter").

2) The imperative "you shall continue writing" or "keep writing" is "vazhdo shkruaj" (in Standard Albanian), as in Albanian both verbs have to be translated in the same grammatical number. For this reason "we shall continue working" is translated "vazhdojmë të punojmë" (or more commonly "vazhdojmë punën" - we shall continue the work).

3) Yes it can. Mind that "të", in addition to having a function similar to English "to" (as in "Po shkoj të laj.. - I'm going to wash...), also means "to you", thus "Nëse do të thosha" also means "if I told you". Telling the difference (as well as choosing to write it or not) depends on the verb's aspect and on context.

Pleasure!

Rron
Is this really a proper nouns meaning "that who lives, thrives"? That looks more like etymology to me. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:53, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi there,

What do you mean?? Etimo (talk) 10:55, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * "that who lives, thrives" is not a proper noun - it looks like an explanation of what the name means. SemperBlotto (talk) 10:59, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Every name I'm adding goes with the explanation of what the name means, in case it has one. The majority of Albanian names are compound of words which mean something specific, and since this is an etymological dictionary I judge it is the case to add such information. Unless I'm not doing it correctly after the template.......Etimo (talk) 11:05, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I've translated Selena Gomez' song "A Year Without Rain" into Albanian, but I'm not really sure whether it's right, could you help me?

 * Zë tënd dëgjoj në mendje tim
 * S’mund ti më degjon therras
 * Zëmer ime bërtas si oqean ai than
 * Më kap, unë bie

Hi, thank you for the reminder. I was trying to edit only the Etymology section and Alternative forms. How should I proceed in order not to empty the entire page? thanks Etimo (talk) 12:03, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

 * I don’t understand what you are doing wrong. If you only want to edit the Etymology, you will see a blue [ edit ] to the right of the title Etymology. Click on that [ edit ] button and only the Etymology section will be opened. Make a change that you want. For example, add the word TESTING somewhere in the etymology. Then down at the bottom of your screen, click on SHOW PREVIEW. Then you should see the etymology along with the word TESTING that you added. Now, if you click SAVE at the bottom of your screen, it will save the etymology section with the word TESTING that you added.
 * Then, you can click on the [ edit ] button after the title Etymology again and removed the word TESTING, then click on PREVIEW, then SAVE, and your edit will be removed, but the etymology will still be there. Or you can click on the HISTORY tab at the top of your screen, then click on the version of the page that precedes your last edit, open it and save it ... that restores the previous version of the page. Or, you can click on the HISTORY tab at the top of your screen, and you should be able to see the buttons [ rollback 1 edit ] or [ undo ] at the end of the line where you edited the page.

 * Hi, thanks for your kind instructions, I'll stick to them. One question: if I don't find a word written in its own writing system, should I just put the transliteration, and the system will automatically provide the correct writing, or shouldn't I put the term at all? Thanks Etimo (talk) 08:24, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

 * You should just put the transliteration like this undefined: . The system will not provide the correct writing but it will place the page into Category:Armenian terms needing native script. Then someone like me will find it and provide script. --Vahag (talk) 08:38, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Did you intend to empty çok so that it would be deleted? I was going to delete it, but I thought I should ask if that is what you intended. —Stephen (Talk) 01:25, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, no I just wanted to edit it, the deletion was not intentional. Thank you Etimo (talk) 01:33, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Pokorny
For your etymologies you reference print Pokorny (1959). But many of the Albanian words you add this reference to, e.g. gaboj, do not refer to the Albanian word at all. So, you are misrepresenting a source. I think you are using the online version prepared by Dnghu.org in 2007. Accordingly, you need to use. --Vahag (talk) 09:10, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you're absolutely right, I thought the online version was a photocopy of the original. I'll stick to the form you showed me. Regards Etimo (talk) 12:31, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Latin to Albanian

 * Hello Etimo,

 * I got some questions concerning the phonetic developement of the Latin words in Albanian.
 * What happened with the suffixes "-tio" and "-cia"?
 * And what happened with the consonantal clusters "ct", "pt", "gn" and "mn"?

 * I'd be very glad if you could help me with that.
 * I wish you a happy new year ;).

 * Greets HeliosX (talk) 16:07, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Some of them I now found out by myself:
 * "ct" --> "t"
 * "gn" --> "nj"
 * "mn" --> "m"
 * But do you know what happend with "pt", "-tio" and "-cia"?

 * Greets HeliosX (talk) 00:55, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi,

Latin pt is rendered just as t in Albanian since labials and velars are generally dropped in clusters with t, same as in PIE inherited words. Final velars and dentals are never dropped, so you would have t for -tio and k for -cia.

Cheers,

Global account
Hi Etimo! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, DerHexer (talk) 18:14, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. I tried to go through the unification process but I hit a snag. I don't know what went wrong but it just won't allow me to unify my accounts as the page popping up shows other accounts with the nickname Etimo, which are not mine (Spanish etc). Are you able to tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks Etimo (talk) 19:27, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

mbrёmё
Hi, you added this word, but when we search fro mbrëmë (french keyboard), the word is not referenced, it's seem you use cyrillic "yo" character for the "ё", why ? Why do you not use standard Latin script "ë" ? Mangêzd (talk) 11:26, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Deleted. Copied to mbrëmë. —Stephen (Talk) 22:35, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

 * The character ё is being regularly used. Please be more specific. Etimo (talk) 17:22, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Mir‑dita, Etimo, no the character is not used in Latin‑Script, I don't under‑stand why you using it in Albanian word using Latin‑Script, if you want Ë or ë use Unicode character U+00CB & U+00EB, and not Cyrillic script one "yo" : Ё U+0401 & ё U+0451... I doesn't mater if you say that is regularly used (only by Russia, Belarusia & Tajikistan), first tell me by who, and two, I never eard that be‑fore ??? No, the Albanian use Latin‑script so no need to use Cyrillic letter for some Albanian Latin‑script word, this ad‑d (mbrёmё) was re‑moved by ad‑mini‑strator, also others words in future using some Cyrillic letter in‑stead of Latin in Albanian Latin‑script word, would be re‑moved to... The peoples seeking de‑finition in the "search button" use a standard Latin key‑board, with Cyrillic letter in your ad‑d we can't find the word in search, don't use it any‑more it's use‑less. Mangêzd (talk) 18:26, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

 * mbrёmё was the original entry. It was spelled with ё, a Cyrillic letter. The entry has now been copied to mbrëmë (spelled with Roman ë), and the original mbrёmё has been deleted. —Stephen (Talk) 02:37, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

When I create an entry that has an ë I type it straight from the Latin script in the special character..I really don't know why the problem occurs! Etimo (talk) 20:43, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

darkë
Hi, I want to ask you why you give de‑finition night (nätë) & evening (mbrëmje / mrãmje) to darkë ? At Skopje and Kosovo, this word don't have that meaning. So can you cor‑rect it ? Mangêzd (talk) 08:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * In "Fialuur i voghel Sccyp e ltinisct (Small Dictionary of Albanian and Latin), page 21, by P. Jak Junkut, 1895, Sckoder" the word have the only meaning of "CENA".
 * In "Dictionnaire Français-Albanais / Fjalor Shqip-Frengjisht, page 444, Vedat Kokona, Tiranë, 2002, ISBN 99927-726-4-6" this word has not that under‑standing ("night" or "evening"). Vedat Kokona give also the meaning "Réveillon" (Eve of Christ‑mas or New Year, feast), that I'm gonna add.
 * In "Flajor i gjuhës së sotme shqipës", they write "koha pasi perëndon dielli; mbrëmje, vakt darkës" ; "time after the sun goes down; evening, time for dinner" ; they write evening (mbrëmje) not night (natë)...

Hi there, you're right, night is not one of the meanings, while evening is. Thanks for your remark.Etimo (talk) 17:19, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

What form of the verb lë is this? Can you please modify the entry's definition to what inflection this really is? Thanks! :) NativeCat drop by and say Hi! 06:50, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Imperfect, 3rd person plural, it denotes an action done repeatedly in the past (they left/used to leave), it is rendered in English with the preterite.Etimo (talk) 20:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Mir‑dita / Hi, I ad‑ded the phonetic for Gheg & Tosk variant, I use for Tosk be‑cause this sound come from the front of the mouth, and  for Gheg be‑cause in this dia‑lect the sound come from the back of palate (soft), us Shqyptar Gheg we use Ϙ ق  & Κ ك, but lot of peoples can't make the dif‑ference.

Here are some example : I'm living in Belgium, and here they use the French sound only so I can make the dif‑ference with the Gheg K  sound of my languages & dialects from Skopje (father) & Kosovo (mother). Be‑cause I have learn Arabic, I can make the dif‑ference be‑tween these two sound &. The sound K of Gheg Shqyptar look more like. The pro‑blem & error come from Greek alpha‑beta, be‑cause they re‑moved the letter Koppa Ϙ and us, Shqyptart, we loosed that letter in our alpha‑beta, we have a Q but we read it and in our land K can be readed  be‑cause words from Turkish or Arabic (using Ϙ/ق) that we have in Shqyp and in Shkup are writed only with letter K that which there‑fore have two value  &. We need to dis‑tinguish these two letters & sounds. I also ad‑ded dif‑ferent vowels since in Gheg the A of Kalb is pro‑nounced ... Mangêzd (talk) 07:30, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * kurban from arabic &
 * ket/Krejt (all) & kêt (this).
 * Sound of con‑sonants
 * Sound of vowels

 * Hi, Tosk k is not automatically Gheg q for all words, most of the cases they are spelled k the same, Tosk kalb is the same in Gheg kalb..there are cases of k-q parallelism though, but they have to be analysed separately. Loanwords from Turkish (also Arabic words) beginning with k are rendered q in Albanian (koefte-qofte, kebab-qebab etc). The further palatalization of q into ç is a Gheg phenomenon and has nothing to do with Greek (or Turkish or Arabic for that matter)! Etimo (talk) 20:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

I don't say that K is auto‑matically a [q] in Gheg but in some case the Ghegs pro‑nounce the K from the back of the palate, and is a [q], this sound ex‑ist like the nasal that Tosk don't use... I agree with you that lot of Arabic / Turkish word using K [k] & Q [q] are trans‑formed to [c] but no all of them, but for me that is not normal, and those (a‑theist writers) who made these falsi‑fications just want to di‑vide the mu‑slims from under‑standing each others by con‑fusing their common words (lot of words from the Ottoman era (Arabic, Altaic & Persian) that we still use in Macedonia & Kosova are not in the standard Albanian dictionary and were re‑moved during com‑munist time, but in that sup‑posed Illyrian root based dictionary you can find lot of new ad‑ded words from "Greek / Ortho‑dox" & "Latin / Cath‑olic", why this hypo‑crisy against the i‑slamic culture ? Why to re‑ject it in our language)... I also noticed that in Tosk the Gheg P is often changed to MB, in mod‑ern Greek ΜΠ is [b], it seem that the Shqiptar Orthodox (from the south of Albania & north of Greece) have chosen to make P [p] to ΜΜΠ/ΜΒ [mb] (pruj mbroj (rujtar) ; prapa mbrapa ; prãmë mbrëmë ; shtremoj shtrembëroj). The Toskërisht change : I'm a Shqyptar Shkupjan Gheg and truly I don't like to learn & use the standard Shqip based on Tosk for me this language is a total falsi‑fication of our ancient words & my origin. I'm very sad that in Kosovo they beginned to use the standard in Tele‑vision & media, this is a re‑jection of the Gheg root that we have... I don't want our di‑stinctive dia‑lect to dis‑ap‑pear. I don't under‑stand that, when they made and im‑posed the standard in 1969, they don't used the two variants for each words at same time, but only the Tosk one (read this)... Une foli Gegnisht e jam i knaqt se e foli qat guh e vjetër... Still I want to thank you be‑cause I noticed that when you ad‑d Albanian words, most of the time you ad‑d the Gheg variant to, and that is demo‑cratic & re‑spect‑full...

 * Truth sometimes is outrageous, I know, but someone has to say it! It hurts you because you understand NOTHING of Turkish and Saudi Arabian politics in the Balkan and neither about Albanian history and culture in general! I deleted the conversation not because of censorship, but AGAIN, because this is an etymological dictionary which discusses linguistic issues, not religious ones, and I have absolutely no intention to clog my talk page with your islamic propaganda and verses of Kuran!!! You dragged me into a religious discussion (as I've noted many Albanian muslims like to do no matter the context) disguised as a linguistic one, and I replied you, as I always do with everyone. This is no place for preaching religion. I repeat it for the last time (this time for real): your views on Albanian language, culture and identity are totally unscientific, unreal and distorted through the religious loop you see it. This simple fact is backed by Albanology itself! Nice talking to you Etimo (talk) 13:42, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

nadje
Hi Etimo, I saw you added the etymology for nadje. I was actually unsure abut it but I am positive it's not related to night. From what I understand the word is a contraction of a phrase, like "tjeta" is a contraction of "t'u ngjate jeta". I don't even think it means morning, as "nadja mire" is used throughout the day. I am however, not sure about the phrase it's supposed to be (8mike (talk) 19:07, 17 November 2015 (UTC)).

Hi, I don't know a more satisfactory etymology for nadje, the only one I know is the one occurring in the Gheg area of Shkoder and northern parts, where nadja/nadje referes to the night/dawn. If you have more precise info or sources, by all means bring it on! Etimo (talk) 18:59, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

A question about Gheg
Hello :) I just read about the Albanian language for the first time and was interested in the split between Gheg and Tosk, I came to Wiktionary for more details but it doesn't seem to treat Albanian consistently? I searched for past discussions about Gheg and found just one here from 2018, and I'm hoping the "resident Albanian-speaker" can help me understand something! You said "Gheg and Tosk [...] differ only in some phonetic features." (emphasis mine), but the Wikipedia article Albanian Language claims something called "the 'me+' infinitive" is exclusive to Gheg, which sounds more than phonetic to me. Is Wikipedia incorrect? If they are referring to this Wiktionary entry, why doesn't it mention Gheg at all? Apologies if these are stupid questions, I have literally zero experience with Albanian I've just been browsing Wiktionary! Snizzbut (talk) 15:30, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi, the main difference between the two dialects lies in the rotacism phenomenon, but there is more. Gheg features also nasal vowels, which lack in tosk, tends to pronunce the ë schwa as "a" or "o", forms the infinitive with 'me + verb in the original root', contrary to tosk wich adds the -ësh suffix, and assimilates "mb, nd, ng" clusters into "m, n and k", although the latter does not occur all the time..these I believe are the main differences between the two dialects, although the topic is too varied and rich to be discussed here.
