Comments on editing
Thank you for your contributions, I really have to say that they look very good. One thing that I would like to note is that we prefer to split etymologies, so gets three different etymologies. Another small thing is that l is preferred over plain links in sections like Synonyms, Derived terms, etc. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  12:52, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Etymology of cell
Hey, isn't this just a straightforward borrowing from American English ? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  13:06, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Sranan Tongo for "tobacco"
For some reason SIL's dictionary gives tabaka for "tobacco", but Etymologiebank gives tabaki (and also has different final vowels for Aukan and Saramaccan). Could you add a Sranan lemma with the correct spelling? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  12:56, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure: tabaka.--Appolodorus1 (talk) 11:54, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

tjappen
Hi, would you be able to comfirm that this term is indeed slang in the sense "to eat" and not in the sense "to dig" in Suriname? Thanks in advance. Thadh (talk) 21:33, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi! Indeed, the sense "to dig" is not slang in Suriname. It just refers to the use of the specific tool, like "harken". We might add in the etymology that it can also be analysed as tjap + en. Appolodorus1 (talk) 08:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, thanks! Thadh (talk) 09:53, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding! I don't think harken is the best synomym, sorry if my example in my previous reply was implying that. Maybe hakken or spitten would be better – this is the activity: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/FarmingZambia.jpg You could use a tjap as a rake but it doesn't have pointed teeth.

 * Ah, I see. I think I'll just remove the synonym in that case, and I can't really think of anything to call this activity (?); Adding that image may be a good idea though. Thadh (talk) 13:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * All I know is that a hoe, at least in the relevant meaning, is called a in European Dutch. I do not know if  ever had the distinct sense of "to hoe, to use a hoe", but I feel the word at least generally fits that activity. Also, could someone add IPAs to  and  (cf.  for the phonemes)?  ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  21:46, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Zou je misschien aan kunnen maken? Wordt het trouwens niet vaak als één lettergreep uitgeproken met verlenging van de ?. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  18:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
