mul on etc
Your latest entries do not have a ===part of speech=== or a headword. They need to be fixed. SemperBlotto 15:44, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

They're irregular forms — my dictionary doesn't even give a headword or POS for either. I don't know the correct way to enter them. --Salvadors 15:47, 10 September 2011 (UTC)


 * See ho for the same term in Italian. SemperBlotto 15:52, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's the same. Estonian doesn't have a verb for 'to have'. Instead it uses the adessive form of the personal pronoun with the relevant form of 'to be'. So "I have" is really "On-me is ..." --Salvadors 16:00, 10 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, do the best you can. Without a part of speech and headword, somebody will probably delete it. SemperBlotto 16:03, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've had a go at it for you. It is now of an acceptable standard. I haven't looked to see if we have Estonian entries at mul: and on:. SemperBlotto 16:10, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks — I didn't realise you could do that with headwords. --Salvadors 16:14, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

When you're making a new entry, you don't have to use, you can just leave the genitive and partitive forms off with. —  [Ric Laurent] — 17:30, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Aha. Good to know, thanks. I assumed that if the 'old' form existed, there must be a difference between them :)  On a related note, are you going to do anything more with ? It would be useful to be able to add at least the -n form (and if we had the -tud too we could usually then create the entire conjugation table, but that's probably for another time!) --Salvadors 17:35, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I started working on a conjugation template and got distracted so it's sitting in a state of incompletion lol. You can see what I've got so far here, though I'm sure there's stuff missing. —  [Ric Laurent] — 17:48, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks very nice — what needs to happen to make it go live? --Salvadors 17:54, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * When I was learning about Estonian, I found some decent rules for nouns' and adjectives' forms, but I never could find anything solid about verbs, so I could never write specific coding for conjugation. —  [Ric Laurent] — 18:04, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Separation

 * Also, remember to add to separate the Estonian section from the other languages, like this. Thanks! :) - -sche (discuss) 17:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops, thank for the reminder! --Salvadors 17:54, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
