投げる

Of the WWWJDIC and my personal yellow paper Japanese/English dictionary, neither of them have the "fly" sense. Is it true? (Maybe it is. I just don't know. I'd like to find out!)  :-) Language Lover 23:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm for removing the sense because the direct connection between the meaning of "投げる" and "fly" is almost nothing as said above. Maybe only in a case in which "fly" is synonymous to "throw", the word "投げる" can be translated into "fly"; e.g. 「人々は彼に向かって石を投げた。」 --> "People let fly stones at him." The first meaning "throw" alone would be enough for now. --Tohru 11:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

To clarify: that's not the verb used to translate "he flew the plane"? —Ruakh_TALK 20:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Right -- it seems "he flew the plane" would be "飛行機を操縦しました". Cynewulf 20:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks to me like a mixup between 飛ばす send flying and 飛ぶ go flying. Delete sense. Cynewulf 20:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

RFV failed. I deleted the sense. --Tohru 04:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
