User talk:Chihunglu83

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.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! Vininn126 (talk) 10:48, 7 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please add exampoles using the formatting here. The templates categorize the pages and also makes it easier if there are bot changes. Vininn126 (talk) 18:09, 7 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, it's great that you are adding new Czech words from the WT:RE:cs list, but some of your entries are sometimes slightly misleading due to their brevity or "lack of feel" (no offense intended). If you could add this template to your entries and potentially do a cross-check, I think it would help a lot. Also, I suggest cross-checking your translations on slovnik.cz and slovnik.seznam.cz. Thank you for your interest in the Czech language, as a native, I really appreciate it. CaptainPermaban (talk) 14:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, thank you for your contributions. Please use {zlw-ocs-noun} instead of {head|zlw-ocs|noun}. Thank you. Zhnka (talk) 20:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Zhnka, thanks in advance for all your corrections & contributions. Are you systematically building Old Czech lemmas? As for etymology, I mostly turned to Machek. Do we have lit. for first attestations? Also, feel free to contact me by mail. Chihunglu83 (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I notice you've been adding lots of categories using {{auto cat}}. I have no issue with it but keep in mind that I do a bot run every three days to create all the categories in Special:WantedCategories that will work with {{auto cat}}. There's a limit of 5,000 entries to the list in Special:WantedCategories and there are more than that many new categories that have come out of the changes I made to Module:place/locations so it may take a couple of iterations to get all the categories created. But the bot runs will eventually create all the categories, so you don't have to do them by hand if you don't want to. Benwing2 (talk) 06:34, 1 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

hi there, yes, I noticed a bunch of new categories of French department yesterday and it just bothers me to see over 20 red links in the category box...looks kinda unprofessional, no worries, thanks Chihunglu83 (talk) 06:45, 1 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Do you know any of the languages you're currently editing? One of these seems to be Tsou, a minority language, and you don't add sources, and are lemmatising at an orthography I'm not sure is suitable for the language. Do you know anything about this language? And why won't you add the source you get your information from? Thadh (talk) 19:29, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Taking the opportunity to mention Brankačkec and Šołćic (and hello Thadh! Long time no see, how are things going on the server?) Stríðsdrengur (talk) 23:03, 15 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Thadh I am not entirely sure which page you are referring to, since I was adding personal names in the past few weeks. If you are interested in Formosan language, they can all be found in {{R:ODAL}}, all the spelling, including ^ and long vowel mark : are official spelling, such as 'a'enge꞉

If you are referring to ʉ, yes, the official spelling use this letter.

@Stríðsdrengur I don't think I need to add a reference for this, this can be easily googled. And if you really want a reference, it would be in Walter Wenzel's book, the only Sorbian onomastician. Chihunglu83 (talk) 00:25, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

I mean, it's pretty bad to add entries like that in general, especially in Sorbian which is a minor language, even with the argument that "it can be easily found on google". Even if you add information that can be found in dictionaries or other sources, it is preferable that you cite them, I think this is basically the same idea as Thadh's. Stríðsdrengur (talk) 00:28, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Stríðsdrengur Ugh, if you don't want wiki to document any Sorbian surnames, fine. I'm just trying to help. Request for deletion then Chihunglu83 (talk) 00:30, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Bruh you didn't get my point, I'm not telling you to delete them, I'm saying it's preferable that you do a little more elaborate coverage, I bet that'll be more or less Thadh's answer. Stríðsdrengur (talk) 00:32, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

It's great you know what you're doing. Now, you can't expect our readers to know you do. So please, for their sake, do include references for all entries you create, because otherwise they won't know where we got these from. Thadh (talk) 10:23, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Also, the entry I meant was aicayʉ, is it really written with a lower-case letter? (or, which is more likely, is this a typo in the dictionary?) Thadh (talk) 10:27, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

yes, Tsou (and also Saisiyat or Paiwan) used lower-case to write names. The reason? These languages are traditionally oral, and I guess there is no need to have upper-case, though it also looks weird to me, but that's the official spelling. Chihunglu83 (talk) 14:57, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Chihunglu83: I see. I'm guessing then entries like Tanivu mean "Tanivu in Bunun but tanivu in Tsou"? Thadh (talk) 18:22, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

yes yes Chihunglu83 (talk) 22:14, 16 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Do you know a template for Albanian singular definite ablative and accusative? thanks. Mondiad2 (talk) 14:32, 24 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi Mondiad2, I am not entirely sure which page you are referring to. Do you mean singularium tantum that we need only the singular? What word for example? Chihunglu83 (talk) 22:29, 24 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

I.e., see declension of kazmë. Those 2 are the only ones missing. Thanks. Mondiad2 (talk) 03:28, 25 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello Chihunglu83. An edit to the mladu page was recently reverted. I was hoping you could provide some insight as to why this may have occurred. Additionally, if you have any feedback to improve the page and proposed edits, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! Kaveh-K-Dantech 17:40, 29 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Kaveh-K-Dantech Hi, Wiki is case-sensitive. You created acronym on a wrong page, please fix it. Chihunglu83 (talk) 22:34, 29 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Will do, thank you! Kaveh-K-Dantech (talk) 15:38, 30 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thank you correcting the site that is error because of me! Saarking (talk) 15:02, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

But there is no 'female equivalent' section in the glossary of terms? Galicijac (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

It's not confusing. Borrowed from Carpathian, intrusive -m- probably from a Hungarian intermediate (i.e. gomba), and ultimately from Proto-Slavic *gǫba, which bears both the meaning of sponge and lip. Update: turns out there exists "gamba" in Old Slovak as well, with an alternate form in "gemba" which is also found in dialectal Ukrainian and Yiddish. Maybe this was just borrowed via Polish gęba. Insaneguy1083 (talk) 13:10, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Insaneguy1083 If I were you, I would probably cite only Old Slovak gamba, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *gǫba. Why is it likely borrowed from Carpathian Rusyn ґа́мба but not simply inherited from Old Slovak? For me they are just cognates. Proto Slavic denasalized ǫ is common rendered as -Vm- in daughter dialects, and of course the word may be reborrowed it from Hungarian, we need to check chronology. It's a bit confusing (not in a bad faith) to mention sponge, button in the section IMO. Chihunglu83 (talk) 13:21, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I changed it to just Old Slovak, because that's the part we're certain about. I nonetheless feel like there's got to be some sort of intermediate, because *ǫ => am/em in Old Slovak specifically seems weird as a natural inherit. Again, my mind goes to either Polish or Hungarian. Insaneguy1083 (talk) 13:30, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I am having trouble building a proper template with words ending in é and á. The templates being used in some words are incorrect. I.e. the dative singular of kala is kalaje not kalajeje', same for grua is gruaje not gruajeje. Thanks. Mondiad2 (talk) 01:50, 30 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Mondiad2 Yes, I noticed that. One user changed the parameters without consulting others, and now it can't handle all f. forms. Eventually, we should switch to a more advanced module. In the meantime maybe we can kindly request our friend @SairiRM to have a quick fix on these type 🥺🥺? Chihunglu83 (talk) 02:10, 1 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello. It is fixable a couple of different ways I think, but since I cannot account for how many of the words with a last syllable strees in wiktionary have used it I'll just do the most simple fix based off of some examples that it would work on such as: fe, kala, grua, fëmijë.
