Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It 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.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

  • Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
  • Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
  • Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
  • If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
  • If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
  • Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
  • You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! --Apisite (talk) 21:40, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Template:roa-opt-conj-ar

Hi. It's generally not a good idea to blank a page like this; if you want it deleted, use the {{delete}} template. Benwing2 (talk) 00:00, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I was trying to create an automated table for the verbs of this language but I'm not succeeding Stríðsdrengur (talk) 00:13, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I need a template to conjugate Galician-Portuguese verbs that change from g to gu, could you help me? Stríðsdrengur (talk) 13:06, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

German accents

Hi, I've noticed you adding pronunciations to German entries. You get most of it right, yet many of the accents are put in the wrong place. I'd recommend only adding pronunciations if you're taking them from a dictionary. Megathonic (talk) 17:44, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Alright, I apologize for that, I'll just put the pronunciation of the words when I find them in some reliable dictionary. Stríðsdrengur (talk) 18:59, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

'Vulgar' conjugations

Hi,

There are numerous problems with the automatically generated 'Vulgar Latin' conjugations. Please do not add them. Nicodene (talk) 00:17, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I didn't know about these problems, I apologize for the inconvenience, I won't make the same mistake again Stríðsdrengur (talk) 00:32, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Swedish pronunciations

Hello. I suggest you be more careful when adding IPA for Swedish entries, because many of your transcriptions have contained errors thus far. For a few examples: "körd" in norrlandskörd starts with a /ɕ/ (not a /ɧ/), "nation" in värdnation is pronounced with a /t/, and broad transcription doesn't recognize [ʂ] as its own phoneme; [ʂ] is either either the retroflexion resulting from an "rs" sequence or a dialectal realization of the sje-sound. Also, a single word can't have equally high stress on two syllables, ergo there can't be two instances of the stronger stress marker "²". Glades12 (talk) 16:03, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Alright friend, sorry for the mistakes, I won't touch the Swedish page anymore Stríðsdrengur (talk) 17:49, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Don't stop altogether! Your contributions overall are accurate and helpful for Swedish; it's just the pronunciations that contain errors at times. Glades12 (talk) 13:58, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sorbian

It's great to see Sorbian. What have you been using to do your work? Btw, would you like to join the discord server? We could talk about all this there as well. Vininn126 (talk) 17:51, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've been trying to improve the Upper Sorbian page, it's been quite abandoned lately, but it's been difficult since it's hard to find resources in English, I understand a little German but it's not that good
Send me the link pls Stríðsdrengur (talk) 17:59, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Machine Translations

Hey, I'd make sure to verify the output of any machine translations before using them. While these translators have certainly gotten much better over the years and can be used to help, they're not perfect, and simply copy/pasting the results will inevitably result in errors being made, such as in your edit at Mohr. It was not able to recognize that Thor is an archaic spelling of Tor, which in this context means fool, and thus the word was left untranslated as if it were a name of a person.

Strange forms of roa-opt verbs

Where did you got the forms in "-êssedes" in roa-opt? I can't attest it. - Sarilho1 (talk) 20:27, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Acho que é melhor responder-lhe em português para ser mais fácil. A maior parte das formas conjugadas nesta tabela foram "reutilizadas" de tabelas manuais para outros verbos, basta procurar na categoria de tabelas de conjugação de verbos em galego-português antigo. Penso que fui um pouco irresponsável ao não ter pesquisado todas as formas atestadas em textos ou em sites como Universo Cantigas. Stríðsdrengur (talk) 20:31, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Não me sinto muito confortável em ter formas especulativas. Não consegues adicionar uma fonte à descrição do template que justifique a escolha das formas verbais? - Sarilho1 (talk) 09:24, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Até onde eu sei, formas em -êssedes seriam as esperadas vendo a história da língua; o "-êsseis" de hoje vem dum "-êssedes" anterior depois do "d" sofrer elisão, "-êssedes" esse que é mantido no galego. E olha, achei uma. "Vivêssedes" nessa cantiga aqui. MedK1 (talk) 23:40, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Muito bem colocado. Stríðsdrengur (talk) 23:51, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

T:kl-decl-noun

I can't believe I'm saying this, but stop editing languages you don't know! Greenlandic isn't this simple, it has a bunch of very difficult phonological rules pertaining to the ending, please first read up on a language in its entirety before creating infrastructure for it! Thadh (talk) 09:42, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll stop. Stríðsdrengur (talk) 09:47, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
