Talk:chaverim

RFV discussion: April–May 2017
What even is this? All I see is codeswitching and maybe Chaverim, but not what supports an entry like this. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:27, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * One use not italicized:, two uses italicized: , . However, it looks like it has a more specialized meaning than just "friends", but I can't quite tell what. Perhaps "member of a Jewish society or organization" ? Also, I notice that all three books I linked to above do use the singular as well, so the bit about  being plural only in English isn't true. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:47, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, even italicized/codeswitching uses may be worth keeping since Hebrew isn't written in the Latin alphabet. If someone is reading an English-language book with Spanish-speaking characters and one character calls another, the reader can find the Spanish entry here even without an English entry. But if an English-language book has Hebrew-speaking characters one character addresses his friends as , the reader wouldn't find it here unless we had an English entry for it, because the Hebrew word is written in a different alphabet. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:51, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Made into a regular plural form entry and RFV passed. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:31, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
