Russian verbs type 3, test module

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I just wish to explain that I feel I can make this template work with varieties of forms for this type but I thought I'd run this by you first because you did the hard job of creating the module and templates and justly criticised me for some inefficiencies. I partially disagree with the handling of молоть and полоть, though, which should have two different params for two stems (not three as I did originally).

This group 3 is quite big and I'd like to do this one first before moving to others.

It's not only a technical problem here. The challenge is that there are various views on what makes the norm on a large group of these verbs. I don't want to make the template too generic, so it gives incorrect information. Having additional params will make it possible to look at verbs one at a time.

I don't blame you for the lack of enthusiasm to work on this but I'd like to continue. Thank you very much for your help so far.

I will also need your help on working with irregular verbs and their derivatives later and about some minor coding problems.

It's not that I am not happy to work on this generally, it's just right now, this moment. I have been having a very hard few days with a lot of stress and it's weighing on me. And I guess I also feel pressured because I feel a responsibility to help you and guide you with Lua. It's partly because you're not really fully aware of its capabilities so you might be doing things that are not necessary, and I feel a need to do things "right". I am kind of a perfectionist...

I won't do it too fast and will try to document what I do. I've got other commitments and interests, of course. I'm sure, you'll be able to quickly fix if I do something wrong or inefficiently. Also, the most important is the result - the conjugation tables. If your solution gives the same result as mine and more efficiently, then your solution is better. Also, because I'll probably have to maintain and fix the module in the future, possibly train someone and document what it does and how, add new functions, it's important that I, whoever does it, knows the module well.

At the moment, I will just concentrate on the varieties of type 3 - I also think you wouldn't enjoy this part. The reference book, ru:wiki, and online references show a bit contradictory info on this type of verbs, so I'll have to decide on some verbs individually. Will think about two exceptions later. It'll be more fun when I start working with interchange of consonants.

Wishing you to resolve all your current problems and come back recharged. You don't have to answer if you're busy.
