Talk:place

can anyone tell me what the word "place" means according to the Catering business?

Please and thank you .

Spanish?

"placer" in Spanish does not mean place!! placer=pleasure place=lugar

That's correct, but place is a form of that verb, which is why it is listed here. the definition can be found by following the link form placer in the entry. --EncycloPetey 23:29, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

place setting

COVER: a place set at a table, e.g. in a restaurant
covers laid for 16 guests

Are therefore place and place setting synonymous? or should it be parsed as place set? --Backinstadiums (talk) 12:33, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

You should read that as "a place [noun] (that has been) set [verb] at a table". You misread "place set" as a noun phrase: it is not. And I don't think "place" is a synonym for "place setting" either: it seems to be saying that there is a place (for a person) at a table, which is set (allocated cutlery). 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:DCF2:CDF7:FC1F:D3F 02:45, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Possible missing verb senses from Chambers 1908

Not much detail here, but Chambers 1908 has these transitive verb senses, apparently not covered here: "to lend: invest: to ascribe". 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:DCF2:CDF7:FC1F:D3F 02:46, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
