Talk:係

Note: this character can be used in colloquial Cantonese to mean "to be" and is thus a synonym for the usual "shi".

Senses for trad. and simpl.
"department" is 系 in both trad. and simple and 系 is really a simplified version of 係 only in the sense of "to relate", "to be", is it right? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:38, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * department is 系 in trad. 係 also means "to tie" (係獲, 係累), which simplifies to 系. Wyang (talk) 03:45, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I've just changed 系, before I saw your reply. Please take a look. Also, it reports "trad. and simp." in usexes, although it's only simplified, perhaps because of the conversion confusion. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:55, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Why remove the senses of bind, tie up, involve, relation? --kc_kennylau (talk) 09:41, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I have only removed definitions from Translingual but nothing from Chinese sections. I have added definitions to 系/繫 (jì) pair. Please add any missing to Chinese but not to Translingual. (from iPad). --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 10:19, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
