Your format is all wrong. We start with a ==language== entry, then a ===part of speech entry=== etc. See the following welcome links. SemperBlotto 21:49, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

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.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Aluu!

Hej! I'm glad to see more Greenlandic contributers on this site! Are you a native speaker? I am not so I am glad you're here so you can correct me if I have learned it incorrectly. I really want to improve my understanding of Kalaallisut but there are very few resources out there... any ideas? Jakeybean 22:47, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

How should we create entries for verbs and adjectives when they're based on affixes rather than individual words? Your language is confusing! Is there a list of affixes anywhere online? Jakeybean 22:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

So truth our language is different and must be confusing, because we only use it in oral and not in computers ... You know what i mean :-) Try this: http://www.oqaasileriffik.gl there's a english page too --Qaqqalik 23:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. And thank you for the link :-) Jakeybean 23:12, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Qujanaq :) kalaallisut ilinniarpunga. is that right? I'm just guessing ;) Jakeybean 23:31, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Qujanaq illillu, uanga tuluttut ilinniartunga :-) --Qaqqalik 23:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Why is it ilinniartunga and not ilinniarpunga? :S Jakeybean 23:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

ilinngiarpunga means "i learning (or practicing ..) ilinniartunga can mean while i learning ... something like that, you're right, it's difficult and confusing :-) --Qaqqalik 23:44, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

ilinniarpugut ;) if you need any help with learning english just ask. We can help each other? Jakeybean 23:55, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

inersimasuk

Hi there, how exactly is this related to inersimasoq? Does it mean the same thing? If so then it should be a normal entry like inersimasoq as we do not like to use redirects for things like that here on Wiktionary. By the way does your name mean something in Greenlandic? 50 Xylophone Players talk 23:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Never mind I think I figured it out. Please have a look at them again. 50 Xylophone Players talk 00:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay so you said your name means witch in Greenlandic? Or did I misunderstand you? Also, are you saying inersimasuk is wrong and not a valid spelling? if so then I will delete it for you. Finally two tips for working on Wiktionary:

1. When you want to leave a new message on someone's talk page (about something that you did not already talk to them about there press the + button at the top of the page to make a new section on the page.
2. Quite a few people (myself included) prefer to keep a conversation together on one page so for ease of reading when someone leaves a message on your talk page it is better if you answer them on your talk page.

I was saying that my nickname is greenlandic which in i correcting some wrong spelling greenlandic words. Yes Inersimasuk is not valid spelling. Please so delete it. And about my nick, Qaqqalik means "places with hills". --Qaqqalik 20:01, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Hope I helped :-) Qaqqalik 14:13, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Tulorutsitut

You are the only native Greenlandic speaker around. Do you have a comment on this: Wiktionary:Requests_for_deletion#Tulorutsitut? --Hekaheka (talk) 04:15, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

'Tulorutsitut' means 'in french' (language). It's rare we say 'tulorutsitut' when we most only say 'franskisut'. --Qaqqalik (talk) 16:57, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Grønlandske bøjninger?

Hej! Jeg håber ikke, det gør noget, hvis jeg stiller dig nogle spørgsmål vedr. vores dækning af bøjninger af substantiver/pronominer/proprier. For det første; på mange sider angives der en flertalsform (f.eks. qaqqat, ataatat), men ville det ikke være mere korrekt at kalde dem absolutive flertalsformer? For det andet: er der nogen regler for bøjninger, dvs. kan man ud fra f.eks. den sidste stavelse eller vokal eller det sidste bogstav regne ud, hvordan de bøjes? Jeg har svært ved at finde uddybende materiale herom på internettet. For det tredje, er der nogen standardrækkefølge for de otte kasus (bortset fra absolutiv først)? På forhånd tak!__Gamren (talk) 13:53, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
