Talk:donkey

What is this "Associations" section intended to convey, and is it anything that wouldn't be better served on the pages for the words in their native languages? —Muke Tever 18:50, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hebrew
Stubborn person is not called "donkey" by Hebrew speakers. I erasad the word "עקשן" (aqshan), which is simply the translation of the word "stubborn"; Translation of "stubborn" is not necessary on the page of the word "donkey".

I also erased the literally translation of "fool" as "טיפש" (t'ipesh) and replaced it with the word "חמור" ("khamor" - donkey), because sometimes Hebrew speakers do call fool person a donkey. Liso 13:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation
If anyone can tell me what "rare outside dialects" means, feel free to revert my edit; I changed it to "rare and nonstandard," although I'd prefer a citation specifying what speakers pronounce the word /ˈdʌŋki/. For future reference, all language varieties with native speakers are dialects. "rare outside dialects" is, best I can interpret, a statement that no artificially-constructed standard (that is, one which no speaker uses natively) includes /ˈdʌŋki/ as a possible pronunciation. 70.174.184.183 21:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
