About the Tagalog Entry
[edit]@Mlgc1998 Hey! Thanks for making this entry. These are the terms we usually miss, those that aren't in dictionaries but in use in real life. By the way, I'm gonna transfer this main entry into hawsyaw for Tagalog, which is a used spelling. Just to tell you on what I've modified in Tagalog:
- Based on a thorough search of all usages found online of the word, I've concluded that the main definition of "haysyaw" is "phony" or "bogus". There are some websites that explain the word as such.
- So some of the quotations you put under "pseudojournalist" have nothing to do with journalism, so I moved them to the "bogus" definition.
- Upon listening to recordings online of people saying the word, the pronunciation is more of a Tagalog penultimate stress, so I made it that way.
Also, just some comments on the editing side:
- For the etymology, I think it's better if we put it in one bracket. See how I did it in hawsyaw.
- For the IPA in pronunciation, we're transferring to the Tagalog IPA template now. So it's tl-IPA and then you put the correct diacritics there, and the IPA will be generated. If you leave it blank, it will autogenerate the IPA with a penultimate stress based on the spelling.
- For the bracket under Noun, we're deprecating the usage of "head" to standardize all entries.
- For quotations, don't break them into new lines below for the info of each quotation, it's hard to read. Usually people just put them in one line.
That's all. Thanks! --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:48, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Mlgc1998: Oh, I also found more info in Tagalog Slang Dictionary published by Dr. Zorc. I'll add the info tomorrow. Also, I'm changing my mind on the penultimate stress. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 16:01, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
