Talk:uçağın

RfD discussion
(Turkish) uçağın = genitive case of the word "uçak". Curious


 * Why not just change the entry to reflect that? There's no reason not to have genitives here, if they are in some way irregular (and by the k changing to ğ in this word, I would say it is, but I have ~zero knowledge of Turkish). Jon Harald Søby 23:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Each k at the end of a Turkish noun changes into ğ in the genitive case. The inflections of uçak are fully regular, that's why I made a request for deletion. But to my surprise I just read in the policy that even regular inflections can have their own entries, so I guess this entry can stay also. :-) My apologies for bringing it up here.


 * ( Turkish is a highly inflected language. For any noun we can make >100 (!) inflections. And for any verb we can make >100 (!) inflections also. Fortunately >>99% of the inflections are regular. If we apply the general policy that even regular inflections are allowed as entries, we may have a problem with Turkish. Do we really want/need entries for all those regular inflections? Would we like to have entries like gelemeyecekseniz (= if you will not be able to come)? Or do we allow the entry gelmek (= to come) only? We might - or might not - consider more strict rules for highly inflected languages, but of course this is not the right place to discuss this. ) Curious 20:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
