Talk:have a break

RFD discussion: June 2022–July 2023
To have a short rest period from work, study, etc.

SOP: +. No reason to keep this as a translation hub either, as can do that job. Theknightwho (talk) 01:05, 15 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't you advocate for the deletion of for the same reason (take 33.: "To practice; perform; execute; carry out; do.")? &mdash; Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 01:36, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Now I think about it, there are subtle distinctions in meaning here, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I favour if I'm talking about a brief rest, but  if I mean a more significant break for an extended period (e.g. a career break). Theknightwho (talk) 01:50, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Make sure it's listed in Appendix:DoHaveMakeTake and then hard-redirect to the bare noun. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 10:21, 15 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect as msh says. - -sche (discuss) 08:35, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
 * List at Appendix:DoHaveMakeTake and hard redirect to (moving translations to there). - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 04:13, 24 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep and soft redirect to take a break if it is a synonym. Soft redirect is better than hard redirect, offering less of a surprise. If it is not a synonym, keep and explain the difference in a usage note. Do not redirect to the appendix: these are unwieldy for lexicographical information. If there is not enough support for the preferred outcome, at least hard redirect to take a break, not to the appendix, to direct the reader to translations, and keep listing it as a synonym there. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:06, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
