antipassif

κρατήρ
I'd like all pronunciations to be shown by default. That applies to Greek and Persian entries which display many possible and historic pronunciations. --Esperfulmo (talk) 20:46, 6 May 2024 (UTC)


 * This is a product of how grc-IPA works (and, by extension, Module:grc-pronunciation. If you think the default behavior should change, maybe raise this at Grease_pit/2024/May. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:57, 6 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello . You probably know it already: at your left hand menu, under 'Visibility' you can click the little letters: 'Show pronunciations'. It is not default for every reader, but only for you. &#8209;&#8209;Sarri.greek &#9835; I 03:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I found the above sources for quotations for "μίσθιος" from the LSJ dictionary but can't figure out what the abbreviations mean. I would appreciate if someone could help me find these sources.

 * These are a number of reference works, e.g. "Supp.Epigr." is '. Someone who is really familiar with ancient Greek (I am not) would probably be familiar with them, but someone who is new to it (I am) would probably be confused. —Justin ( koa'''vf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

cool
For the slang term "cool" as an adjective or adverb I prefer the definition "High positive appeal" as in "That's cool." Thanks! Leonidas B

stupidest
stupider and stupidest are not words of the english language. People who use these forms are, of course, the most stupid and your dictionary should list these words as incorrect forms. Thanks! Leonidas B
 * Like most dictionaries, Wiktionary describes how people use languages, and does not try to prescribe what is supposedly right or wrong. In some cases, labels are added to warn people that certain usages may be regarded as, for example, derogatory to some people or regarded by some people as proscribed (generally thought to be incorrect). However, I don't think stupider and stupidest fall into the latter category—it is common to see them being used. If you do searches at Google Books and the Internet Archive you will find many uses of them. To discuss the matter further, post a message at "Tea room". — Sgconlaw (talk) 08:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Audio pronunciations
On wiktionary with language "en", I can press the play-arrow next to words, and hear the recording. On wiktionary with language "nl", this doesn't work, and instead an .ogg file is downloaded.

gate

semimetal
I changed the definition of this word. I am an Inorganic chemist of the solid state and familiar with many compounds that are semimetals. A good example is titanium disulfide. (And there is plenty of literature that says so). The term metalloid is typically reserved for elements that have semimetallic properties. So metalloids are a subgroup of the semimetals, or in linguistic terms: metalloid is a hyponym of semimetal Jcwf (talk) 18:35, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

capitaine
The definition specifies that this spelling, in English, is used by non-native speakers. But the last of the four quotations appears to have been written by someone who was proficient in English. Given that the writer was discussing the Montreal Canadiens, I believe their use of this spelling was a deliberate use of the French word, and therefore, the quote should not be used as an example of the (mistaken) use of capitaine in English. &mdash;&NoBreak;71.105.243.101 03:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

仔女 THANK YOU !!!
THANK YOU !!!

Artemis
Definition 2 states The usual male variation is Artemios. Maybe that's true in Greek, but I think in English, it's Artemus or Artimus. Further, the quotations under definition 3 are from 1934, 2012, and 2009 (in that order). Shouldn't they be in chronological order? &mdash;&NoBreak;71.105.243.101 15:45, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Adding a new word to the dictionary
What is the criteria for a new term to be accepted as a word in the dictionary
 * See WT:CFI. Please don't try to add any words you made up, try Urban Dictionary for that. Justin the Just (talk)

cunt
How are two pseudonymous reddit posts from less than 2 years ago sufficient to establish their own definition?
 * First off, it's not just based on that (as of this writing). Secondly, being pseudonymous is irrelevant: if a word is being used a certain way, you don't have to identify yourself to use that word. Odd line of reasoning. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

durchfall
The form "Durchfall!" as an order seems strange to me. It should be "Falle durch". What does exist is der Durchfall, this is a diarröh. Rasmusklump (talk) 23:58, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

ريال
Spain had no Geopolitical influence in Arabia, how come does wiktionary state the Arabic Riyal comes from the Spanish real when it was Portugal that controled key centres of trade in the region and thus influenced an handful of local terminologies, like the word for oranges and the real, the coin of the Portuguese empire.
