Talk:安全第一

Earliest attestation in Japanese
When was the earliest attestation of 安全第一 in Japanese? I suspect Chinese borrowed this phrase from Japanese, and the phrase itself was translated from English "safety first". RcAlex36 (talk) 15:44, 13 October 2021 (UTC)


 * According to the KDJ listed in the Kotobank entry, it looks like 1920. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 17:59, 13 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response, and would you mind editing the Japanese etymology section to show that 安全第一 was loaned from English "safety first"? RcAlex36 (talk) 18:11, 13 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't have any clear source stating that it was a calque. That will take more research.  I've updated with what I've found so far.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:58, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * PS:, apologies for my earlier brain fart. I've added  to the Japanese etymology.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 23:16, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
