Talk:ཡོད་པ


 * Why are you lemmatising this here? It would make more sense to have it at ཡོད (and the same with the other copulas, I think). Also, its use needs to be explained somewhat, but I can try doing that later for all the copulas. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:21, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm following Jäschke and lemmatising the -pa/ba forms for verbs. I was trying to get the entry started first, but this definitely needs great expansion. Wyang (talk) 21:04, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * So does that mean that yod pa is used? I've just never come across it in that construction. What about copulas that aren't used in Classical Tibetan? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:27, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * It is quite commonly used: you can check by searching for ཡོད་པ here. The -pa form is the substantive form of verbs. Most dictionaries list Tibetan verbs in their verbal noun forms (-pa/ba), although some (such as the Tibetan-Chinese dictionary I shared before) use the stem as lemma.

 * Thank you. I still haven't been taught any verbal morphology formally, so I have really large gaps there (hence why I haven't added any verbs). —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:59, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
