Welcome[edit]

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! 2024.03.18. ‑‑Sarri.greek  I 20:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Welcome and thank you[edit]

Welcome M Valerie-OwO and thank you for your contributions. Our administrator for Modern Greek is M Saltmarsh.
About σκασμός (skasmós) and your adjective proposal, I'm not so sure, but then, I am not a philologist. Have you seen this PoS (part of speech) somewhere for σκασμός? Because @DSMG I see only noun, {{R:Babiniotis 2002}} as well does not mention adjectival use, and at @Χρηστικό he gives the expression έναν σκασμό (énan skasmó, a very large quantity) + of... with accusative instead of genitive: Like we say μια σταλιά νερό (mia staliá neró), where σταλιά is still a noun? I think it should be peraps withdrawn, until you find a source for this syntax?
We are at your disposal for any questions. Happy edits! ‑‑Sarri.greek  I 20:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, @Sarri.greek!
Looking over your comment, I'm inclined to agree with your proposal to withdraw it. The reason I made that proposal was, to be completely transparent, because I viewed the noun definition as being to narrow (I have experienced the phrase έναν σκασμό be used relating to other topics than food) so I overlooked the fact that it was still a noun even in that phrase.
I apologise for the redundant proposal, I'll remove my redundant adjective proposal. Thank you! - Valerie-OwO (talk) 12:11, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
O, no problem: it is a special syntax, and it was food for thought to me. Perhaps we could make a collection of such little phrases! Thank you for your note and for correcting it yourself; Keep up the good work! ‑‑Sarri.greek  I 12:14, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
