Talk:不来

不来 = 不 + 来, doesn't it? Why does it need an entry? Kappa 11:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

There you go, making me think again :) My rule of thumb is that if it's good enough for a mainstream Chinese dictionary (in this case Guoyu Cidian) then it's good enough for me. However, I recognize that some may take issue with this approach. I do it mainly out of practical concerns (it is easier than having to try and decide for myself what does and does not constitute a word/phrase etc). However, if you feel strongly about it, I have no problems with it going through the RFV process, and letting the chips fall where they may. One mitigating thing that might save this entry is that 不来 has a secondary use as a verb ending. As in: 说不来 (unable to say). -- A-cai 11:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Aha, that makes it worth keeping, I've added that to the entry. Kappa 17:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
