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.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Congratulations for στενοχωρώ

M. Katananers! Hello. Congratulations for your heroic conjucation at στενοχωρώ (stenochoró), here -a truly complex verb- and all your contributions. The structure of the verb-tables, for both active and passive voice was a recent project of our administrator at Modern Greek section, M. Saltmarsh. Your result at this difficult verb was very good. I need some time to check some dictionaries (because every source might mention more forms e.g. Is there στενοχωράω too for στενοχωρώ? How should we present the totality of sequences? and so on. Your solution with 2 tables, is very good,, it seems to me. But please, give me some time, to check. I will be back in some hours.
By the way: are you a native speaker of Modern Greek? Thank you, and I'll come back after I study στενοχωρώ! ‑‑Sarri.greek ^♫ I 12:16, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm pretty confident that there is no στεvοχωράω. I look forward to seeing how you format this verb table. I am sure I'm going to learn a few things about Wiktionary formatting. Have a great day. Katananers (talk) 15:48, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

M. Katananers! I just saw your reply -you need to 'call' us with [[User:X]] (also from the Edit summaries when you edit pages) or from Talkpages with {{ping|someusername}} otherwise we do not get a notification that someone has 'spoken' to us. You get automatically notifications for this page because it is your personal page, so we don't have to 'call' you-

How do we check verbs? Some standard sources we use: “στενοχωρώ@DSMG”, a dictionary of 'Standard Modern Greek (koine Neohellenic). {{R:Babiniotis 2002}} has some extra older forms at many verbs, because it is a dictionary of 'Modern Greek' (not only 'standard').[1] The Reverse Index by Anastsiadi has many forms covering all neohellenic phase from a huge corpus of texts *στενοχωρ* words where you can find both στενοχωράω & στεναχωράω. She does not have definitions: she asserts that a form exists. And here it is: 'με στενοχωράς' @google.books. And of course, {{R:Jordanidou 2004}} has the current Standard verb conjugation tables which we always consult at her index [2] and her many tables (see Κλιτικά υποδείγματα). So, we need to organise all this. Forgive me, for today is Sunday, and I cannot edit it. I promise to do so tomorrow, first thing in the morning. I hope I did not confuse you with too many details... :) ‑‑Sarri.greek ^♫ I 18:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

User:Sarri.greek (<- did I do that correctly?!) Thank you for letting me know and for providing all of these great resources. I appreciate all of it. I didn't expect a response, let alone a response so quickly. I appreciate anything you do with it, regardless of how long it takes. Thank you again. Katananers (talk) 22:12, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

The 200άρα example

M Katananers! Hello. So sorry that I have changed your 200άρα 'soccer' example. If you are very willing to include it, -whatt game is this with 200 goals? Are they points?- perhaps, with a note: Used by Greek speakers in... what country, what bilingualism-, for the game {wikipedia|link} and probably avoid names? Also διακόσα colloquial is used < never διακόσια *διακοσι‑άρα (which is why DSMG avoids examples with -hunderds). I added a very characteristic expression as used in colloquial Greek.
Also, tr= would be needed at examples (if you prefer pronunciation rather than transliteration, it would be possible, with ts= or some other way). Congratulations for your excellent work! ‑‑Sarri.greek ^♫ I 19:18, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
