Talk:тыкать

тыкать "to thou"
Hi. Are you sure Etymology 2 can be 6a? Zaliznyak says it's only 1a. Benwing2 (talk) 04:02, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * 6a for etymology #2 is unusual but it happens, especially in the sense "thouing" is perceived as "poking" (since it may be considered rude in some situations).
 * If someone is offended by "thouing", they can say "Ты меня не тычь!", which is non-standard and uses "ты".
 * I am happy to change to 1a only, since dictionaries only use 1a for etymology #2. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:43, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Perhaps тычь and ты́чьте are a special, colloquial case for etymology #2. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:46, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmm, Ushakov says both 1a and 6a are used. https://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/ushakov/1060978
 * See also http://www.gramota.ru/slovari/dic/?word=тыкать&all=x
 * So, maybe leave as is? Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 04:52, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
