 * Delete., do you have any reason for keeping this? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 22:25, 9 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Not sure. It's in a lot of dictionaries, so we could argue it passes the lemmings test. 想 does seem to have the ability to combine with other verbs to create adjectives, e.g. 想要, 想開, 想歪, etc. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 01:12, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think these are verbs too: "to want (sex)", "to think in a philosophical manner" and "to think awry; to think and interpret things in a dirty, twisted way". Wyang (talk) 07:27, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * 想睡 is entered as an adjective meaning "sleepy"; is that wrong? If not, why does "want to" + "to sleep" yield an adjective? --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:44, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't think 想睡 is really an adjective. It's more like a verb phrase meaning "to want to sleep; to be sleepy". — justin(r)leung { (t...) 00:10, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I don't see how is 想睡 an adjective either. Dokurrat (talk) 14:36, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Is of analogous construction? —suzukaze (t・c) 10:05, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Similar, but I feel they are not quite the same. 想 (“to want to (do something)”) is productive, making 想睡 the expected form for “to want to sleep”. Meanwhile, buồn is nonproductive and its meaning is not really “to want to (do something)”. It means having to do something due to the need of the body, and describes a state, not a desire. There is a distinction between and ; the former is more like Mandarin 睏 and Cantonese 眼瞓. Wyang (talk) 13:02, 18 November 2017 (UTC)


 * If no attestation of 想睡 as "sleepy" can be found, I think this entry should be deleted. Dokurrat (talk) 05:53, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Not a big deal. I can't think up a good argument for keeping it anyway. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 05:56, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
