Talk:hat

Hungarian
Did the ancestor of "hat" (six) really mean "seven"? Qorilla 20:15, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Zaicz says in his etymology dictionary that *kutte means ugyanaz, so I replaced seven with same. --Panda10 20:30, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Wellll, 'ugyanaz' means here that the original word means the same as the word being explained :) Qorilla 20:51, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So much for my knowledge of etymology :)) Thanks for the correction. --Panda10 21:36, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Sense: "User rights on a website"
Is this only on wikis? I've never seen it on other sites. Equinox ◑ 01:36, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I have never even seen it on wikis, but it seems like it might just be a trivial extension of sense #2 (a role or capacity). If so we should probably delete it. - TheDaveRoss  14:25, 14 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I just found this in IRC logs from 2017 : "you should only need to op up the once / the shiny @ in front of your name signifies that (you can later deop if you don't want the hat)". (IRC is not a "Web site" though.) Equinox ◑ 16:03, 14 November 2018 (UTC)


 * So do we think that might be the origin: the "hat" is the physical @ symbol placed ("worn") on a name on IRC? I do now vaguely seem to recall hearing the same term used for the operator @ sign in a heavily IRC-based Java chat room I used at the end of the 1990s. Equinox ◑ 06:14, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

English - etymology
>  Welsh caddu (“to provide for, ensure”) <

Have never heard of caddu. Perhaps what was intended was cadw (= "keep, care for, retain hold of, preserve"). -- Picapica (talk) 12:15, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Hungarian synonyms
Is hatásos really a synonym of hat? According to both Wiktionary and arcanum, hatásos is purely an adjective, so it would seem that it can't be a synonym of hat, a verb. I'm not a native speaker, so I'd prefer not to edit this myself without confirmation, though.
 * Compare these two sentences: 1) Az altató hatott. 2) Az altató hatásos volt. Meaning of both: The sleeping pill was effective. In that way, hatásos is a synonym of hat. I hope this helps. Panda10 (talk) 23:56, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Thanks a lot! Gephyra (talk) 14:31, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
