Talk:нести

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

"Нести" doesn't mean anything in Serbo-Croatian.There are verbs doneti,naneti,odneti but donesti,nanesti,odnesti are incorrect.Someone should fix this.

It was added by Ivan Štambuk, a native speaker. I think you should discuss it with him. —Stephen (Talk) 14:28, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hrvatski jezični portal mentions it precisely as nesti. --biblbroksдискашн 15:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then it must be some Croatian word that isn't used in Serbia,Bosnia and Montenegro.That is probably why Ivan,a Croat,added it

To lay eggs in Serbo-Croatian would be nositi/sneti/položiti jaja.Nesti may mean something in Croatia I am not sure I don- 't speak Croatian.

And biblbroks you are probably lying.Serbian isn't your mother tongue,cause if it were you would know this and you wouldn't quote Hrvatski jezički portal.

If I knew a word in Croatian that doesn't mean I don't speak Serbian, does it? Here's a screen capture from "Речник српскохрватског књижевног језика" published in 1967 by "Матица српска" and "Матица хрватска" for those of the "неверни Тома" kind. It has a slightly different tone (long instead of short) and it means "to carry" in general, but it is the same word nevertheless. --biblbroksдискашн 19:32, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Most words on that list are either archaic or exclusively Croatian.That is a fact.These are non-standard words that are not in use.Again I highly doubt you are Serbian or Serbo-Croatian speaker.Not even your name Slobodan Kovacevic can convince me.I can tell you words that are used today that replace those you showed me on the list.

Even if it is archaic, it is still a word of that language. Anyway, it is still used today, in Croatian: google search for nesti jaja. The same goes for studeni. --biblbroksдискашн 20:52, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, archaic and dialectal words are valid words, too, and we want them listed here. We do not just list the most common word, we want to list every word, including archaic ones. Wiktionary is not a recommendation on which word to use, it is a dictionary that gives the definition of a word that you might find written in some text, perhaps even an ancient text. —Stephen (Talk) 07:03, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well if you want to add archaic,dated and regional words then mark them as such

Right, such words are supposed to be marked. —Stephen (Talk) 23:44, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
