Talk:jaartien

RFV discussion: October 2020–March 2021
Dutch for "decade". I can only find it used in one work. If it fails it could be moved to jaartiental, which is dated but easily attestable. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  18:00, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that -tien in that song is a diminutive suffix. Compulsory military service lasting a decade is not plausible. In most recordings of this song the singers sing over een jaar dan kwam hij instead of over een jaartien ging hij. --Lambiam 20:25, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You're right, maybe it's a spelling pronunciation of an obsolete spelling of or a local diminutive (it's not that I am well-read on Low Saxon diminutives after all). So there is no cite so far.  ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  13:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * In the above source, I believe it should have been "jaartjen" rather than "jaartien". I did find this source: "Zijn het dagen, weken, jaren, jaartienen, waarin zij hem wacht" (outer right column, midway in the text). It does seem that "jaartiental" en "jaartiende" are much more common (yet still rare/archaic) synonyms for Dutch "decennium". Morgengave (talk) 22:33, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
