What "modelled after" Means
To give you more examples, look at sogoar, xerojardinería, and anulingus. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 16:16, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * These entries illustrate what "modelled after" means. It means you derive a new word in a target language using components of the target language inspired by a source language. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 16:17, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It's close to a calque, but a calque is more specific. This is more general. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 16:17, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * To be "modelled after", you need to show that the word "pelikula" has component roots that are from Cebuano. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 16:24, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * ,, , Hi guys, sorry for pinging you guys. Could you please help mediate?  insists that this Cebuano word is "modelled after" Spanish, when it obviously is a borrowing from Spanish. He insists that when Cebuano got this word, Spanish wasn't spoken in the Philippines anymore (by the way, his premise isn't actually true, Spanish was still present in the Philippine government and bureaucracy decades after World War II). Let me ask, Carl Francis, when English got the word "pons" from Latin, was anyone in England natively speaking Latin? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 06:31, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Borrowing does not require the meaning to be identical to the source language's, and it does not require language contact with the native speakers of the source language either. Carl, if you keep on edit warring without discussing issues on a talk page, it will not help the situation and will get you blocked. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:48, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
