Talk:c.

If "C." is an abbreviation of "city", then this page should say so. "C." is also an abbreviation of many other things. &mdash; Paul G 06:22, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * 1) carat -- it's Karat (dated Carat), coming from french carat and not from english
 * 2) Celsius -- that's coming from the swede A. Celsius (1701–1744), not from english, cf. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Celsius ; also it's abbreviated "C" resp. "°[ ]C" resp. (dated?) "° C."
 * 3) code -- ??
 * 4) Coulomb --- that's coming from some french, not from english, cf. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Coulomb, also it's "C" (big and a not small letter)
 * 5) coupé -- that's coming from french, cf. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Coupe_Auto_Kutsche
 * 6) curie -- that's named after some frenches, cf. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Curie
 * 1) caput/capitulum:
 * 2) "c. 2, S. 12–29" -- that looks retarded. Is it a real example or something made up? Logically it should be "c." and "p." or "Kap."/"K." (Kapitel) and "S."

German. It looks like Latin to me. --ReloadtheMatrix (talk) 11:55, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Does that also apply to ? And what about ? In any case, if this is in doubt, it should be raised at Wiktionary:Requests for verification /Non-English, not here. That would be a waste of our time, though, since the use of this abbreviation in German is readily attested, like here “c. 2000” for “circa 2000”. --Lambiam 12:52, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
