Talk:kunwari

Diksiyonaryo definition

@Ysrael214, @TagaSanPedroAko, @Mlgc1998 The definition for "kunwari" found in Diksiyonaryo, I don't think that exists. " kilos o salita na hindi totoo o may bahid ng pagsisinu-ngaling." I don't find this definition in other dictionaries. What do you guys think? Also the distinction between kunwarì and kunwarî. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 07:42, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser "Sus, kunwarì ka pa. Huwag ka na magkunwarî!" You can see the distinction here. Kunwarî should be an adjective I think. I don't know how right now but I think this entry can be better edited. Ysrael214 (talk) 07:54, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Ysrael214: To me, that just sounds like "you're still pretending", and "stop pretending", isn't it? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 07:57, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser Yes. Kunwarî ka pa sounds wrong. Ysrael214 (talk) 08:00, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Ysrael214: Yeah, because the "-kunwarî" ending is only used when there's a prefix, in prefixed words. For the definition in Diksiyonaryo also, I can't make sense of it. It seems to say that "kunwari" means "something false", "falsehood", "lying", but I don't see it in any other dictionary and it's too strong for the meaning that I'm aware of which is just like "pretend" or "make believe". --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 08:02, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser Even the meaning in pretend defines it that way. Maybe diksiyonaryo just didn't explain it properly that kunwarî is something like acting hypothetically even if contrary to reality. Ysrael214 (talk) 08:07, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
