Hello! Thanks for your Welsh entries! I just wanted to remind you to use special templates for Welsh where they exist. For example, see my changes here. I've given you the standard welcome below. Thanks!
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:
You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary: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! —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:42, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
I just fixed some of the French pronunciations you put in. It's / rather than \. Also, please split individual pronunciations with |. —CodeCat 13:16, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello! On many entries for Nynorsk and Bokmål adjectives (e.g. hyggeleg, engelsk, høy), there are listed two superlative forms, one "indefinite" and the other "definite". I would have expected adjectives to work as they do in Danish, where it depends on whether the word is used attributively or predicatively (Blomsten er flottest, en blomst er flottest, den flotteste blomst). Can you confirm that the current convention is correct?__Gamren (talk) 15:55, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I removed your addition of "véspera de ano novo" from Wiktionary:Requested entries (Portuguese).
It just means véspera (“eve”) + de (“of”) + ano novo (“New Year”), hence "New Year's eve". --Daniel Carrero (talk) 18:50, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
So why did you remove it? If it's the Portuguese translation for the holiday New Year's eve it should be added, just like "New Year's Eve" is an entry for English and other translations for other languages. Supevan (talk) 13:42, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Photos? In 1532?! I thought photography was not invented then. Maybe you mean "pictures" (drawings)? Equinox ◑ 19:18, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
I see you changed A4 to being a noun rather than an adjective, but that I disagree with.
You can not use A4 as a noun, and it's always better analyzed as an adjective.
When you talk about A4, you say that it is "i A4", or you have to talk about it as a compound word. If you ask for a piece of paper, you can't ask for an "A4", you have to use a compound word like "A4-ark" or "A4-format". If you ask for something "i A4", that's a phrasing that mirrors that of colours, "i blått".
For your quotations, the 1st one uses it as an adjective (or alternatively a misspelled compound word) The 2nd uses it grammatically in a way that would fit nouns, but it also fits adjectives, as you can use "gamle", "rødt" and really anything as an adjective. It is, however the strongest quotation, but it adds unneccessary complexity to use this to argue it is a noun when it follows a predictable pattern of regular use of adjectives. The 3rd example uses it as a compound word, and the latter example with A3 uses it as an adverb. Again predictable from analyzing A4 as an adjective.
You need to stop adding every word you find in whatever Norwegian etymological dictionary you're using without checking if they existed in Old Norse first (use the Zoëga and Cleasby-Vigfusson dictionaries). Many of these are reconstructed forms that never existed in the language, while others are simply wrong (like afugr and tjarn; the u causes u-mutation and so we get ǫfugr and tjǫrn, which already have entries). ᛙᛆᚱᛐᛁᚿᛌᛆᛌ ᛭ Wiktionary's most active Proto-Norse editor ᛭ Ask me anything 13:00, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Is it just any kind of pizza eaten on that day? I've heard it was rectangular with specific ingredients (diced meat?). Equinox ◑ 15:56, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
Hello. Just wanted to mention in case you hadn't seen it that the Icelandic Etymological Dictionary is available on malid.is under the Eldra mál tab. It's not always easy to parse, but many entries can be understood with: sbr. = confer, d. = Danish, gd. = Old Danish, fhþ. = Old High German, mlþ. = Middle Low German, fe. = Old English, e. = English, to. = loan word, líkl. = likely, sk. = related to.

as a rule of thumb, Kashubian is not a dialect of Polish, but a separate language. As such, północnokaszubski is "Norther-Kashubian", so a dialect of Kashubian, not Polish ;) also pòłączenié uses Kashubian diacritics. Vininn126 (talk) 20:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi. Please don't use these for Finnic languages. We have a nice standard of entry layout for the family, and blindly adding {{bor+}}
and {{inh+}}
to Kven entries doesn't do it any good. Maybe rather focus on building the infrastructure of Kven and create lemmas for it? :) Thadh (talk) 10:23, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Supevan, I stumbled upon one of your audio pronunciations (ajourinnfattet) yesterday and realised that you have recorded a lot of these. I took the liberty to add it in the Norwegian Wiktionary with the comment that your pronunciation is "Østlandsk". My plan is to add a lot more of your pronunciations but you might want to me either omit that kind of information or be even more specific. I have entered "Oslo pronunciation" to the files I have recorded myself.
BTW your voice at «ajourinnfattet» was shockingly similar to my own voice when I hear my recordings. Your other entries weren't so similar so I first assumed it was I who had submitted that pronunciation and later forgotten it .
