Another word
[edit]I'm looking for another Alemannic/Swiss German word, for "running"/"jogging", something like "säckeln"? I heard this but can't find it, maybe spelled differently. Thanks! Jberkel 16:54, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Jberkel: seggle/seckle, I'll create them shortly. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 16:58, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Embellishments
[edit]German is obviously not my mother tongue, but thanks for the embellishments on the articles. ADDSamuels (talk) 19:25, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- @ADDSamuels: No worries, here to help. The only thing I'd ask is that the entries at least contain a definition. It's better to post a request to Wiktionary:Requested entries (German) than to create an entry without a definition. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 19:29, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
exploit
[edit]There are too many "vegans" saying it's vegan to eat meat and animal products as long as you don't pay for it. That's why I added the quote. There are people who call themselves vegan while eating eggs from their own backyard chickens. Hell, there are even non-vegan dumpster divers calling themselves vegans! They think the second definition of 'exploit' applies to all animals. 2601:282:C00:ABB0:DA:1F46:B4F6:1162 14:27, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- I reverted your edits because the quotation is not durably archived. It doesn't cast a good light on Wiktionary if we quote blog posts even though the word has been used millions of times in much higher quality media. I agree though that the second verb sense doesn't only apply to humans (you added your quote under the first sense though). — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 14:41, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
Module:tr-verb form of and -iyor
[edit]I couldn't use {{tr-verb form of}}
to define istiyorum. It reported an error because it didn't recognize the ending. Perhaps the suffix's odd habit of replacing the last vowel is confusing. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 16:10, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS
[edit]Dear interface administrator,
This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.
There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.
As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.
Have a great day!Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Please create this page as a redirect to Special:Search. It's useful for anyone coming from the French Wiktionary by conducting an unsuccessful search there and then swapping "en" for the "fr" URL prefix. Urhixidur (talk) 17:41, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, long time no see, I hope you're all right.
Is this word, which German Wikipedia even has an entry for, German or Alemannic German? Or both? PUC – 21:31, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

You wrote in the RfC: "Sense 1 is not the English infinitive morpheme, that would be -∅. The sentence "I could eat." contains a verb in the infinitive but no to. Rather, to is a particle that is used in conjunction with an already (zero-)marked infinitive. The box below, however, seems to contain a random mix of translations of the infinitive marker -∅ (e.g. German -en, Romanian -a, Turkish -mek) and the particle to (e.g. German zu, Romanian a)."
- Most English grammars distinguish between the to-infinitive and the bare infinitive.
- In "I could eat" eat is not an infinitive, being limited as to person.
- Though some grammarians may agree with "to is a particle that is used in conjunction with an already (zero-)marked infinitive.", not all do. I don't think we can follow your treatment of English unmarked and marked infinitives.
- I can't address the translation issue. It is not unusual to have analogous problems when we try to lexicalize grammar. I'm seeing this in considering English grammatical mood and English semantic periphrasis (including sentence adverbs) of what other languages languages treat as grammatical mood.
