Definitions
Thanks for fixing the definitions for the entry. Very informative, indeed!

I'm not sure the new L3 header "Definitions" will get accepted, though. It may get picked up by the autoformat or other administrators. It has to be agreed on or split into PoS. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 06:53, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It brings a lot more clarity to hanzi entries, and enables us to do the editing a lot easier. We should argue for it, like what we did for unified Chinese. :)
 * (btw, I have other ideas regarding Chinese entries, such as introducing the idea of lemma forms, so that information is all kept centralised and the trad-simp entries do not have to be synchronised. Currently the supposedly established practice of synchronisation is poorly maintained, from what I observe from my bot's sweeping edits. Conceivably the lemma forms should be traditional, since trad-to-simp conversion can be performed reasonably reliably. It's not because I discriminate against simp; I grew up with those characters too. That way we could just enable automatic trad-to-simp conversion in zh-usex, and all the information on the page (with the minor exception of the title) would be di-scripted.)

 * Let me think about his :) I don't want to completely abandon PoS for Chinese. BTW, Pleco dictionary DOES use PoS, despite what I sent you before, but skips mentioning when PoS is clear. Re: your idea. I know how Chinese Wiktionary makes just one version - traditional/simplified and users can select in their preferences, which they prefer but I have no idea about how good the result is going to be. Anyway, throw your ideas in Beer Parlour with a demo later, invite other editors but let's finish the merger first. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 07:28, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Is it 輕聲 or 去聲? I have no evidence for a systematic qingshenghua rule-- Exploration of the Standards for Pronunciation for the measure word 個 in Mandarin




At this time, if you add the simplified form of 个 to an example sentence, you will generate the pinyin 'gè'. If you add the traditional form of 個 to an example sentence, you will generate the pinyin 'ge'. Wow. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 12:35, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

"Is it 輕聲 or 去聲?"- I have no evidence for a systematic qingshenghua rule for 個 which is currently the default for our automatically generated Mandarin pinyin for new entries and for example sentences...... except for what 重編 says and 'common sense'. But hold on: say '四個' as 'sì gè' and then as 'sì ge'- I'm thinking I may have heard both- maybe? I think it could be one of those single characters with a toneless variant, like the post-verb 趨向動詞 來 and 出. But if it is a toneless variant and not an outright qingsheng, then a mistake is being made in the pinyin of our example sentences: usually when there is a toneless variant, we ignore it in the example sentences and give the tone (I am not in favor of or against that aspect of our example sentences, but that is the practical effect of the way the pinyin for our example sentences works). But I still feel like the character is almost always qingsheng, and that the standards for pronunciation in 簡編 and 现汉 are wrong. But idk. Only one way out of the conundrum: finding out exactly what the dictionaries say about this character and then doing some kind of comparison to real life examples.

 * The neutral tone is used only in certain compounds, most notably in and . When used as a classifier, the tone should be neutral as well, but sometimes I hear the fourth tone being used - the speaker might be unaware of this rule.

Tone of the Colloquial Reading in Fuzhou
