Khmer adjectives
Hi, is there a reason adjectives in Khmer should be defined as verbs? Normally "to be" is not necessary. DAVilla 05:01, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Three reasons. First, 99% of the other adjective entries are already like that, so it should be one way or the other. Second, this is how Headley 1997 (Sealang resource, by far the best and maybe sole reference out there) labels adjectives this way too. Third, adjectives in Khmer are in facts verbs as they don't take a copula. "Stative verbs" would be a better label in fact.
 * So it seems former Wiktionary editors heavily drew from H97, distinguished an "Adjective" part of speech for I guess some sort of translingual unity, but still acknowledging its verbal status by adding "to be".

អាសហ្កាបាត
Hi,

Are you able to look at ? Not sure I am able to respell the "-sg-" cluster. Also, any other terms in Category:km:National capitals? --121.221.176.8 22:26, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello,


 * The common spellings for this city are អាសហ្គាបាត,​ with a subscript គ​ (like you did in the respelling), or អាស្កាបាត (leaving out the ហ entirely). -hg- output for the first one / - sk- output for the second one are fine. Then, you shouldnt drop the second ា in the respelling, in order to get that front /aa/ sound. A secondary pronunciation trait could be to shorten the first two /aa/'s to /a/, but not sure it's worth getting that far.


 * As to any missing capitals, I unfortunately won't have time to check. Already spending a huuuge amount of time trying to correct or complete current entries :)

deleted pages
In the future, please fix links to pages that you nominate for speedy deletion. There are Khmer translations at broken and my that need to be directed away from now deleted pages. Ultimateria (talk) 04:58, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I usually always do, but in this instance, I always thought that red link translations were fine as long as they are actual words and grammatically correct. Which is the case of ដែលបែក and របស់​ខ្ញុំ,​ just that they are not entry-worthy. Sitaron (talk) 05:39, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * In those cases you can keep the SOP translation, but link to the individual words (so no one tries to create the entry later).

 * Thx, this is what I did after I replied to you earlier :) Sitaron (talk) 18:44, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
