Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! Ultimateria (talk) 00:42, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Declension templates for some Lithuanian surnames

Hi, I have a quick question about the Lithuanian surnames Rimkaitis, Andriukaitis, and Marčiulaitis. They're currently set up with {{lt-noun-m-is}}. Would {{lt-noun-m-tis-1}} be more appropriate here to handle the t → č palatalization? I couldn't verify the inflections myself since the VDU tool doesn't recognize these specific names.

For names or terms ending with -aitis, yes. I may have been using the wrong code, but thank you for bringing this to my attention! Juliusmborris (talk) 21:19, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, the template {{lt-noun-m-is}} hasn't been replaced in these entries yet. Could you please take some time to fix these and double-check your other similar entries to ensure they're all using {{lt-noun-m-tis-1}}? Thank you! TongcyDai (talk) 14:41, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

O in Lithuanian loanwords

Hi, thanks for your Lithuanian entries. I noticed some pronunciation issues: in {{lt-pr}}, loanwords with short [ɔ] need the o^ respelling (since we cannot distinguish [oː] from [ɔ] in unstressed positions without it). Adolfas should use o^ for the first o, and Ebersonas likely needs it too. Please check the template documentation before applying it—this ensures accurate IPA generation.

Thank you for giving me this information. Juliusmborris (talk) 13:54, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi again. I noticed a few more things. Čartoriskis also requires the o^ respelling. Please double-check your other recent entries to ensure no other respellings were missed.

Additionally, you marked Čartoriskis as stress pattern 1, but according to the Dabartinės lietuvių kalbos tarties žodynas, it belongs to stress pattern 2. I also checked the ekalba.lt link you provided in the Further reading section, but the database doesn't actually contain an entry for this name. Could you please clarify which source you used?
