Talk:træt af

RFD discussion: April 2018–September 2020
Danish. I'm sorry,, but tired of is SOP and has never had an entry. It is my opinion that træt af is essentially træt + af, just as tired of is just tired + of. PseudoSkull (talk) 04:56, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * No need to apologise. I looked for instances of træt outside of træt af denoting "fed up", but it feels difficult to separate it from the "in need of reprieve" sense. Here are some (unedited, i.e. haven't checked year and translator, if any) QQ excerpts:


 * 1) * 2016, Grete Roulund, Setans porte, Lindhardt og Ringhof (ISBN 9788711588505)
 * I Cambodia bliver der aldrig fred, vi gravede massegrave op, vi så nogle af khmerernes videoer, og jeg siger dig, Troyat, man bliver så træt, man bliver så  træt af mennesker, at man til sidst siger til sig selv: Lad dem dø, der er alt for  mange af dem, og de er overalt, lad dem dø ganske naturligt af pest og kolera og  aids, jeg er ligeglad, der er alt for mange, nedlæg medicinalfirmaerne og lad  dyrene være i fred og lad menneskene dø af det, de nu skal dø af, de vil få et  meget bedre liv.
 * In Cambodia there will never be peace, we dug up mass graves, we saw some of the Khmers' videoes, and I say to you, Troyat, one becomes so tired, one becomes so tired of humans, that eventually one says to oneself: Let them die, there are far too many of them, and they are everywhere, let them die quite naturally from pest and cholera and aids, I don't care, there are far too many, close down the medicine companies and leave the animals alone and let the humans die of whatever they're dying of, they will get a much better life.
 * 1) * 2011, Anna Perera, Fanget på Guantanamo, Rosinante & Co (ISBN 9788763823180)
 * Han bliver så træt ved tanken om,at det emne skal forfølge ham resten af livet, ...
 * He becomes so tired at the thought of that topic pursuing him for the rest of his life, ...
 * 1) * 2014, Vibeke Marx, Af ingenting, Modtryk (ISBN 9788771462067)
 * Bliver så træt, og indimellem vred, over altid at frygte noget, endda noget hun ikke rigtig ved, hvad er.
 * Becomes so tired, and sometimes angry, about always fearing something, and on top of that something she doesn't quite know what is.
 * It is definitely my impression that the "fed up" sense is usually found in the construction træt af. Can you perhaps find some occurrences to support your implied statement that træt alone contains enough meaning to account for træt af?__Gamren (talk) 09:52, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Since PseudoSkull didn't respond, I am putting this as RFD kept .__Gamren (talk) 16:47, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I am restoring everything without being an administrator since you placed this here yet nobody even decided to keep it by writing this in bold letters as it is done habitually. The section starter implied its deletion and I also made my choice or suggestion here based on the meanings and the two terms conjoined comprehensibly despite not having dealt in particular with the Danish language on its own anyhow. Both German and Danish are in general Germanic languages but, in the regard of comparable or synonymous terms, they differ inasmuch as the German words or  can take the accusative case instead of a preposition so that this comparison should be excluded from any considerations. More notably, in English the term  has got as well the senses "frustrated" or "annoyed", included in its entry, and in such senses it is seemingly employed only along with the preposition . Nonetheless there is no English entry "tired of". A sum of parts may also have a different meaning than its parts separately in case that it is still semantically very close or expectable. I think that "tired", as shown in the entry of the English term, could still be sufficiently approximate to "frustrated" or "annoyed". I am adding a mention of User:HenrikKbh, User:Mortense, User:Pinnerup, User:PseudoSkull, User:Sarrus, User:So9q and User:VladikVP. HeliosX (talk) 23:17, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * For the record, everyone here is an administrator except you, and deletion requires consensus- not just one more vote. It might have been better to close this as "No consensus to delete", but I see nothing to justify deletion. Chuck Entz (talk) 23:11, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I didn't know this apparently by accident. Maybe administrators should generally be allotted to administrator categories or perhaps all have it written on their user pages because otherwise there might not be any limpid indication and looking at the separate administrator page would require a link to it or just a particular reason that may not necessarily be deduced instantaneously. The outcome at that time was surely not to keep the entry because only one user hinted at keeping it with two users suggesting not keeping it. HeliosX (talk) 00:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * My admin status doesn't give my comments in RFD processes any extra weight. The fact that I a) took the time to look up some quotations, and b) actually speak the language in question natively, however, does. I wasn't sure whether this is SOP, but I was sure that PseudoSkull never presented a convincing argument to that effect.__Gamren (talk) 08:52, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay. After more than half a year without any activity, I'm closing this as no consensus to delete.__Gamren (talk) 10:37, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
