Talk:dat kan

RFD discussion: November 2020–May 2021
Dutch: "that's possible; literally, "that can"". SOP: more generally means "to be possible" if the subject is an action or state. We could also make entries for het kan, dit kan, zoiets kan and so on and on. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  13:39, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. You're disqualifying yourself but blanket-voting "keep" on every RFD. It shows that you're either clueless, don't care, or act in bad faith. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:11, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Do I vote in every single deletion request here? &mdash; Dentonius 23:55, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * No, you don't but your every edit with your four tildes in this page is "keep" even if it's senseless. If it was your first day here, it would make sense to explain why it's wrong to keep entries equivalent to English [[that can]] here but it seems you're perfectly aware of what you're doing but you do it anyway and then complain that "nobody likes you" in the Information desk. Don't you know that if something consistently doesn't work, you need to review what you're doing? Don't you want to try to keep your "balance" in the green? --Anatoli T.

 * You'll see more abstains explicitly from now on. When I vote keep, it means I genuinely want these expressions to stay. Besides, I've discovered that the SOP "rule" which is used to justify removing entries here, isn't a rule which has been formally agreed on by the community at all. Anyhow, as long as there are enough people who believe "SOP" is an actual rule, then I suppose it doesn't matter. &mdash; Dentonius 15:30, 25 December 2020 (UTC)


 * If not keep, we might want to add this as a usage example to it component parts. It seems a little like Spanish puede que Kilo Lima Mike (talk) 10:37, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it would be quite a low-effort example sentence, because this is just "that (subject)" + the present tense of "to be possible". You could throw in a few adverbs, a prepositional phrase and a conjugation, but that is about it. It cannot take a substantivised sentence as an object unlike puede que; that would be het kan zijn dat or het is mogelijk dat. Het kan zijn dat je baas te lelijk is = Puede que tu jefe sea demasiado feo. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  15:23, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
