Translations of past tense
I think the translations of the past tense are setting a bad precedent here, with reams of verbs in the imperfect and past historic. My feeling is that these translations belong in the foreign-language dictionaries, linked as follows:

English
saw ...
 * 1) past tense of see

English
see

Translations
...
 * French: voir

voir

Conjugation

 * Present: vois, vois, voit ... (etc)
 * Imperfect: ... (etc)


 * The above are three different entries in Wiktionary. I agree mostly. Although the problem is mostly for past tenses. Past participles do translate ok/unambiguously most of the time.Polyglot 10:44, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Do you have a source for this? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 20:08, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I have seen it on the Vahcuengh Wikipedia. Sorry, no sources found…;) I looked up "saw" on 《古壮字字典》(a sawndip dictionary), and found that "書" is not on the dictionary.--神樂坂秀吉 (talk) 01:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I checked 方块壮字数据库 and it seems like 书 is used, but I can't be sure if it's only the simplified form 书 that is used. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 01:49, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Seems to be a respelling of suh as in "suh, dude" (as in "[what']s u[p], dude") but a Google search only turns up puns and Urban Dictionary. Wiktionary doesn't have this meaning of suh. John Womble (talk) 07:44, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
