Talk:значыць

@Benwing2: I saw "зна́чаны" in slounik but I don't know 100% what it means. I think the verb is intransitive. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 02:32, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

@Atitarev It has to be transitive because it's labeled каго-што, meaning it can take a transitive animate or inanimate object. One of the dictionaries defines it as "1) помечать, обозначать (делать отметки); 2) метить, намечать (ставить отличительный знак)" which seems to mean "designate, mark".

There's also "значыць II = значить" which seems to suggest it has two sets of meanings, one as "mean, signify" and one as "mark, designate". Benwing2 (talk) 02:50, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Even "mean, signify" is transitive ("what is meant by X?"). Benwing2 (talk) 02:51, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

@Benwing2: OK, thanks, in these senses "1) помечать, обозначать (делать отметки); 2) метить, намечать" it has to be transitive. Not sure how frequent these senses are. I got misled by {{Russian зна́чить (znáčitʹ). It is made transitive but has no PPP. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 03:05, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
