Talk:生得

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

@Atitarev I think this is sum of parts: (to be born) + (to the extent of). Similar constructions include: 他長得很漂亮 (He looks beautiful), 他跑得很快 (He runs very fast), etc. It is, however, a valid word in Japanese and Korean. Wyang (talk) 07:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Wyang Thanks. Both 生得 and 長得长得 (zhǎng de) are included in the ABC dictionary. 長得 is transliterated "zhǎng de" but 生得 "shēngde". They are border cases, IMO, and from a foreign language speaker's point not so intuitive, unlike 跑得. I actually planned to add 長得长得 a long time ago. They no longer have just the original meaning "to be born (as)" or "grow up (as)". I am going add a space in pinyin. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:19, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Wyang I've made some improvements to make it less controversial and added an RFT topic. Please check. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:58, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SoP. Compare Wiktionary:Requests_for_deletion/Non-English#長得. Not in monolingual dictionaries. RcAlex36 (talk) 16:26, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. To clarify, this seems to be an rfd-sense for "to have the natural characteristics of (a person)". — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 20:17, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
