嗎兒?

@Dokurrat Do you think we should move this to 嗎兒, to be consistent with 幹嗎 and Mainland standards? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 05:54, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: I don't know. Dokurrat (talk) 06:50, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Dokurrat: FWIW, 北京话儿化词典 has 吗儿 and lists 麻儿 and 嘛儿 as variants. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:11, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Well, please feel free to edit this entry as you see fit. I don't have opinion about this issue. Dokurrat (talk) 07:13, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Dokurrat: Alright, I've moved it. BTW, is there any reason for removing the example sentence? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:20, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: When I see this word in dialect dictionary, I thought, “yes, this word is in my lexicon too!”, and I made up such example sentence. But, after publishing it, I thought, “Hmmm, why can I only use it (嘛儿) in 吃嘛儿嘛儿香?” And then, I think, my memory about 嘛儿 is from the advertisement of 蓝天六必治 [1], which I've seen in the past. So, I removed M-UIB and replaced it with M-BJ. But I don't speak Beijing dialect. So after some thought, I removed the example sentence altogether. Now, I think 吃嘛儿嘛儿香 can be kept.

@Dokurrat: Alright. Since I'm not close to being a native speaker of Beijing dialect, I'll leave it up to you whether to restore the example sentence. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:35, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: It is the example made up by me that I want to withdraw (and I did); The example in the toothpaste advertisement (吃嘛儿嘛儿香) is OK and I added this now. I have a personal preference of using written forms 嘛 and 嘛儿, so I still used the form 嘛儿 in the example. Dokurrat (talk) 07:43, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Dokurrat: Alright, thanks! (I'm having a hard time getting the sentence from the video, but I'll trust you on it.) — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:44, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: The sentence is at 00:20. Dokurrat (talk) 07:46, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Dokurrat: Ah, I hear it now. Beijing dialect is hard! Thanks again! — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:49, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: You're welcome! Dokurrat (talk) 07:50, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
