Talk:姦智い

This is a very strangely formed word, and I can't find any evidence for it. Where did you find this? —Fish bowl (talk) 22:57, 26 February 2022 (UTC)


 * @Fish bowl Somebody on the Japanese Wiktionary had it listed as a synonym for 奸知 and 奸智 so I simply made a page for it as an alternate form of them. I wont claim to be any authority on it so if you belive it to be too obscure feel free to add it to the requests for deletion FishandChipper (talk) 04:57, 27 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Which page? You must have a misunderstanding. :? —Fish bowl (talk) 13:05, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * On the かんち disambiguation page here FishandChipper (talk) 13:15, 27 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Nothing on that page supports the word "姦智い" ?_? —Fish bowl (talk) 14:43, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I naively assumed that due to cunning's use as an adjective in English that the same would be true for 姦智. Thus I created an adjective page for it as an い-adjective. Like I said you seem to be a much better authority than I on the word's legitmacy so if you see fit add it to requests for deletion FishandChipper (talk) 19:41, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * (chiming in)
 * Generally speaking, it is very rare for any noun with an on'yomi reading type to spawn an adjective by simply adding い on the end. It's not entirely unprecedented (c.f., originally from  + ), but this is certainly not a common word-formation pattern.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 03:47, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Agreed, seems like a simple case of "created in error". ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 03:48, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

RFD-deleted. Arguably an RFV question, but it seems like the creator, a ja-2 user acting in good faith, misunderstood a principle of Japanese grammar/morphology. This, that and the other (talk) 09:00, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
