Talk:Dauern

RFD discussion: May 2014
Both my dictionary and this site say that Dauer does not have a plural. However, there is also de:Dauern. Can a native speaker please confirm this one way or the other? Spinning Spark  12:10, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm a fluent nonnative speaker, and it didn't take me long to find these instances of Dauern:, , . It definitely has a plural, though Duden says the plural belongs only to "Fachsprache" (technical language). I don't know about that, but Dauer has two meanings at de-wikt, (1) duration and (2) permanence. The first sense is countable, but the second may well not be. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 12:23, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added one cite of the plural to the main lemma page . —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 12:52, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, withdrawn. I should have included the article when I searched: all I got was a bunch of "dauern" the verb. Spinning Spark  12:57, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's why I looked for it with an adjective, "längeren Dauern". If you're really withdrawing the RFD, could you take the tag off the top of the entry please? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 16:25, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * done. Spinning Spark  17:34, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
