RFD discussion: May–June 2020
Sum of parts. Not in any Chinese-Chinese dictionaries. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 20:10, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. 完 can be used with any verb to mean "finish V-ing". — justin(r)leung { (t...) 21:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev, Can you explain why you created this entry for Mandarin, Cantonese and Min Nan? The correct expression in Cantonese is 食完 (sik6 jyun4) and in Min Nan it is 食完 (chia̍h-oân). Even worse, you have the correct pronunciation but wrong character for Min Nan - chia̍h is for 食 not 吃. User talk:iambluemon 08:35, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Atitarev is not at fault for the pronunciation. Template:zh-new reads Cantonese and Min Nan pronunciations from existing data tables. (Min Nan: apparently [a certain someone disliked giving proper attribution] sourced from ) —Suzukaze-c (talk) 09:18, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) 食完 is colloquial Cantonese; 吃完 is written Chinese that can be read in Cantonese as hek3 jyun4. 2) 吃 is a common alternative way of writing Min Nan chia̍h (by 訓讀). — justin(r)leung { (t...) 09:54, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes I know 吃完 (hek3 jyun4) is literary Cantonese, but it seems this entry automatically created by copy and paste pronunciation. 吃 is a common alternative way of writing Min Nan chia̍h? Why hasn't that been added to 吃? Iambluemon (talk) 10:08, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * For Cantonese, it's not "copy and paste"; they come from data tables based on other dictionaries (which could have errors but are pretty reliable in general), as Suzukaze-c has said. About your question on Min Nan, it's because we haven't got to it :D — justin(r)leung { (t...) 10:56, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Is this where they got the information for Cantonese 吃完? http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/words/20642/ It's written there "Level 3: This term is used in Mandarin/Standard written Chinese, not Cantonese". I don't know why it still has the reading "hek3 jyun4" even though they say it's not used in Cantonese. Iambluemon (talk) 11:09, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Yeah, no idea why it's so confusing. Perhaps they're saying that it's not used in colloquial Chinese. Any native Cantonese speaker who is literate would tell you that it's read as "hek3 jyun4". Anyway, this discussion is getting really off topic since it's about deletion rather than verification. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 11:51, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * It turns out this word can be found in some online word lists, but since this is about deletion, I think it can be deleted because 完 can be added to almost any verb to indicate action is completed. Iambluemon (talk) 12:04, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * RFD deleted. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 16:51, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
