The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


happening

[edit]

Sense: "taking place". This does not occur as a true adjective, AFAIK. Semantically it is the -ing-form, having potentially any of the senses of happen (6 at MWOnline, 3 at [[happen]]). DCDuring TALK 11:42, 25 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

deleted / I replaced the sense. It might be possible to combine the sense I just replaced it with into the existing sense, although it seems to carry connotations when describing places (ie that there are lots of people in them) that it cannot carry when describing people. - -sche (discuss) 07:55, 16 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
