Talk:あの人

@TAKASUGI Shinji Hi Shinji. I have reverted your edit, since this alternative pronunciation is in my NHK dictionary with a recording.--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:57, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

@Atitarev: OK, but I have never heard that pronunciation. Who on earth uses it? It is quite a common problem on English Wiktionary that a common pronunciation/form/meaning is written equally with an extremely rare one without frequency information. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 08:03, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

@TAKASUGI Shinji I was also surprised by it and hesitated when adding it. Should we mark it as rare or delete it? The dictionary is downloadable but it's a paid product. (Unfortunately, it's installed on the phone I no longer use and I can't transfer the licence to my company iPhone.) --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 09:05, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

BTW, I find your pronoun tables in the French wiki useful. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 09:07, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

I can’t find anything on Google: [1]. How is it explained in the dictionary? Could you check other entries like この人? — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 04:44, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

@TAKASUGI Shinji I think I may have misunderstood how to use the dictionary. The dictionary displays usage examples next to the main words, e.g. "あの人を" as - アノヒトオ. The pitch accent and devoiced vowels are displayed exactly as we do here but the transliteration is always in katakana and users can click on the sound to hear the main word and examples. There are no explanations or notes. I checked アノヒトオ and it sounds [ã̠no̞çito̞o̞], not [ã̠no̞çi̥to̞ː]. この人 uses the same examples. I realised my mistake after looking for その人, which is missing but found その日 instead with "ソノヒオ". Long vowels are always marked with ー. Sorry for the confusion! --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 11:04, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Aha. No problem. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 11:30, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
