Talk:geneigd zijn

RFD discussion: October 2021–January 2022
SOP? PUC – 14:18, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Although maybe strictly speaking SOP, neigen is a very rarely used verb in my experience, and geneigd zijn is very common. geneigd on itself is (almost?) never used adjectively ("geneigde konijn"? sounds very strange). Thadh (talk) 14:56, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * When it governs another verb, there is a pragmatic difference between ernaar/ertoe neigen om and geneigd zijn om. I do not know if that is reason enough to keep this. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  15:40, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. The combination geneigd raken  is not uncommon, and in uses of the form de mensch is nu eenmaal geneigd tot ⟨some human propensity⟩ I am geneigd to analyze geneigd as an adjective. It is not uncommon that a Dutch adjective is predicative-only. --Lambiam 16:59, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * You can find some examples of attributive usage of geneigd on Google Books: Tot beroerte geneigde individualiteit, Tot rheumatismus geneigde individus, Tot verettering geneigde ontstekingen. Thadh (talk) 17:25, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Then why not simply list also as an adjective, possibly with a usage note that attributive use is relatively rare? (BTW,  is labelled as used only predicatively, but is used attributively and inflected in the quotation for sense 3.)  --Lambiam 18:47, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Agree with, this corresponds to what we already have in and . I guess that this figurative usage eventually goes back to ; maybe we can add an etymology as loan translation in these lemmas. –Austronesier (talk) 09:35, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that lepus inclinatus / inclined rabbit / geneigtes Kaninchen also sound strange. --Lambiam 15:42, 18 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I have taken the liberty to add the PoS “Adjective” to, just like we have for – which too is most often found in combination with zijn. In bereide konijn we see a use of the participle.  --Lambiam 14:04, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
