flat tyre

SoP. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 11:21, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

If it's kept as a translation target, should be converted as such. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 11:23, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

• Keep sense 1 as a translation target (e.g. German, which has several terms, of which only one corresponds directly to the English) and sense 2 as an obviously non-SOP idiom. —Mahāgaja · talk 17:55, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Sense 2 at flat tyre is not SoP, so it seems this should have been an rfd-sense for sense 1. Equinox ◑ 18:21, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

1. flat tire

SoP as above. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 11:21, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

• Obvious keep both. SemperBlotto (talk) 08:02, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Keep per Mahagaja. A fair number of these translate as "puncture", something that clearly is not analogous to "flat tyre", and some others translate as "popped/leaky tyre" (e.g. French, Dutch). ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 14:17, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Keep both. A flat tyre is the result of a puncture or someone letting the air out of the valve, so-called because the bottom of the tyre resting on the road looks flat. Take the wheel off, lay it flat, and it doesn't look flat any more. But it's still a flat tyre until it's fixed. DonnanZ (talk) 00:38, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Keep as is. Not SOP. This, that and the other (talk) 04:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

For the purpose of being a translation hub, one should make a distinction according to the presumed cause of the flatness. A tyre can be flat because of a puncture, which needs to be fixed before reflation. Or its condition is no problem; it simply has not been brought up to pressure in a long time, or the pressure has intentionally been relieved through the valve. Some of the translations imply a puncture, such as German Reifenpanne, Hungarian defekt, and Swedish punktering.  --Lambiam 10:40, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Keep. SOP, in my view, but THUB. Imetsia (talk) 15:59, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

• Keep both — Dentonius 08:33, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

• Vote is stricken. Imetsia (talk) 00:13, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Keep, agree with Imetsia, unfortunately THUB. --Robbie SWE (talk) 19:16, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

• Strong keep, not SOP. Were it simply flat according to the definitions at flat, it would probably look like a rectangle or a carpet. Khemehekis (talk) 04:10, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

RFD-kept. Imetsia (talk) 00:13, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
