This template creates a description of the arguments that a term takes and their meaning.

Parameters

|1= (required)
The language code of the term being defined. (See Wiktionary:Languages.)
|2=, |3=, ...
Specs for the arguments that the term takes. See below.

Arguments

Parameters to {{+obj}} indicate the arguments (direct and indirect objects, prepositions and associated cases, etc.) that a term (most commonly a verb, sometimes a noun, adjective or adverb) can take. A basic argument is either an inflection tag of the sort used in {{infl of}} (see the documentation of that template), such as dat (dative); or a literal word (e.g. preposition or conjunction) preceded by a colon, such as the German preposition :auf or the Italian conjunction :che. (Postpositions, as well as conjunctions whose associated clause precedes rather than follows, as in a head-final language like Japanese, should be preceded by two colons.) A literal word can be followed by an inflection tag in parentheses to indicate the governance of the associated object (i.e. what case or form it takes). Examples are :auf(acc) (German auf + accusative) and :di(inf) (Italian di + infinitive). For example, the German verb achten might be defined as follows:

# {{lb|de|intransitive}} to [[care]] about, to [[pay attention]] to {{+obj|de|:auf(acc)}}

which produces

  1. (intransitive) to care about, to pay attention to [with auf (+ accusative)]

Either form of argument (inflection tag or literal word) can be followed by a gloss in angle brackets, e.g. German richten mgiht be defined as follows:

# {{lb|de|transitive}} to [[direct]], to [[point]] (e.g. a weapon) {{+obj|de|:auf(acc)<at>}}

which produces

  1. (transitive) to direct, to point (e.g. a weapon) [with auf (+ accusative) ‘at’]

If a given argument can take more than one possible form with no difference in semantics, separate the possible forms with a slash (grouping them into an alternant set). An example is German vertrauen:

# {{lb|de|intransitive}} to [[trust]], to [[place]] [[confidence]] {{+obj|de|dat/:in(acc)<in someone/something>}}

which produces

  1. (intransitive) to trust, to place confidence [with dative or in (+ accusative) ‘in someone/something’]

If a given term can take more than one argument with different semantics, separate the arguments with a plus sign, as with Polish truć dupę:

# {{lb|pl|idiom|vulgar}} to [[bother]]; to [[pester]] {{+obj|pl|dat<someone> + :o(acc/loc)<about something>}}

which produces

  1. (idiomatic, vulgar) to bother; to pester [with dative ‘someone’ and o (+ accusative or locative) ‘about something’]

This also shows that a slash can be used inside of parens when a given literal word can govern an object in more than one possible case.

Multiword arguments

Examples shown so far use a single inflectional tag and a single literal word. In point of fact, however, the space character is not considered a separator, so you can freely use multiword inflectional tags and multiword "literal words". A fairly simple example of the latter occurs with Italian armeggiare:

# to [[maneuver]]/[[manoeuvre]] or [[scheme]] {{+obj|it|:intorno a/:con/:su}}

which appears as

  1. to maneuver/manoeuvre or scheme [with intorno a or con or su]

Here, intorno a is a single compound preposition and is linked as such. If it is desired to link each word separately, surround them in double brackets, as with Bulgarian стига (stiga):

# [[provided]] (that), [[as long as|as long (as)]] {{+obj|bg|:да(clause)/:[[са́мо]] [[да]](clause)}}

which appears as

  1. provided (that), as long (as) [with да (da, + clause) or са́мо да (sámo da, + clause)]

Note also in this case that when non-Latin script literal words are used along with a governance tag, both the transliteration of the literal word(s) and the governance tag appear in the same set of parentheses.

When it is necessary to specify a multiword inflection tag, it is often best to join the individual words with & unless the combination with a space in it is recognized as an inflection tag in its own right. An example occurs with Old Polish wrócić:

# {{lb|zlw-opl|attested in|Masovia|Greater Poland|Lesser Poland}} to [[return]], to [[give back]] {{gl|to give something back to its original holder or owner}} {{+obj|zlw-opl|:w(acc&poss&pronoun)<to whom>}}

which appears as

  1. (attested in Masovia, Greater Poland, Lesser Poland) to return, to give back (to give something back to its original holder or owner) [with w (+ accusative possessive pronoun) ‘to whom’]

The & says to treat each joined word or word set as an inflection tag and join them as if there were given as separate parameters to {{infl of}} (which usually means with spaces). That is, the output of acc&poss&pronoun is similar to the output of {{infl of|zlw-opl|wrócić||acc|poss|pronoun}} (minus the lemma and preceding of at the end).

A special use of & is when placed before the beginning of the first inflection tag. This suppresses the preceding with. This is useful with certain tags such as transitive, such as with Romanian sări:

# {{lb|ro|transitive}} to [[skip]] {{+obj|ro|&transitive/:peste}}

which displays as

  1. (transitive) to skip [transitive or with peste]

This means that the object can either directly follow the verb or follow after the preposition peste. Without the initial &, you'd get the following:

  1. (transitive) to skip [with transitive or peste]

which doesn't look quite right.

Multiple parameters

If two or more arguments or argument sets with different semantics can co-occur, they should be separated with a + sign, as shown above. However, if two such arguments cannot co-occur, there are two ways to handle this. One is to use separate parameters, as follows, for Italian accanirsi:

# {{lb|it|intransitive}} to [[rage]] {{+obj|it|:su/:con/:contro<against someone/something>|:a(inf)<against (doing something)>}}

which appears as

  1. (intransitive) to rage [with su or con or contro ‘against someone/something’; or with a (+ infinitive) ‘against (doing something)’]

Another way, which works well especially if there is only a single argument each, is to group them into an alternant set by separating them with a slash, giving each alternant its own gloss, as for another meaning of accanirsi:

# {{lb|it|intransitive}} to [[persist]] {{+obj|it|:in<in something>/:a(inf)<in (doing something)>}}

which appears as

  1. (intransitive) to persist [with in ‘in something’ or a (+ infinitive) ‘in (doing something)’]

This second way could be done with the earlier example but would likely be confusing due to the multiple alternants in the first argument set, and cannot be done at all when a parameter consists of arguments or argument sets joined by +. An example of this occurs with the transitive use of Ancient Greek δέω (déō):

## {{lb|grc|transitive}} to [[beg]] {{+obj|grc|gen<something> + gen<from someone>|gen<someone> + inf<to do something>}}

which appears as

    1. (transitive) to beg [with genitive ‘something’ and genitive ‘from someone’; or with genitive ‘someone’ and infinitive ‘to do something’]

Another complex example where multiple parameters are necessary is with Ancient Greek αἰσθάνομαι (aisthánomai):

# {{lb|grc|transitive}} to [[perceive]], [[apprehend]], [[notice]] {{+obj|grc|gen/acc<something>|nom&part<oneself doing, that one is doing>|gen<someone> + gen<doing something>|:ὅτι(verb)/:ὡς(verb)<that ...>}}

which appears as

  1. (transitive) to perceive, apprehend, notice [with genitive or accusative ‘something’; or with nominative participle ‘oneself doing, that one is doing’; or with genitive ‘someone’ and genitive ‘doing something’; or with ὅτι (hóti, + verb) or ὡς (hōs, + verb) ‘that ...’]

Qualifiers

Qualifiers (and certain other inline modifiers) can be attached to any individual argument. Qualifiers take the form <q:...> for a left qualifier (appearing directly before the argument) or <qq:...> for a right qualifier (appearing directly after the argument). An example is Polish brać:

# {{lb|pl|reflexive-się}} to [[get]] to {{gl|to begin to do some activity}} {{+obj|pl|:do(gen)/:za(acc)<q:proscribed><to what>}}

which produces

  1. (reflexive with się) to get to (to begin to do some activity) [with do (+ genitive) or (proscribed) za (+ accusative) ‘to what’]

Here, the qualifier <q:proscribed> attaches to the argument :za(acc) and appears directly before it.

The qualifiers <q:...> and <qq:...> are individual qualifiers, meaning they are logically attached to a given individual argument and appear directly before or after it. There are also corresponding overall qualifiers <q*:...> and <qq*:...>, which logically attach to a alternant set of arguments (i.e. a set of arguments separated by a slash). These must appear after the last argument in the alternant set, and display slightly differently. For example, <q:...> attached to the first argument in an alternant set appears after (inside of) the word with preceding the argument, while <q*:...> attached the the end of an alternant set appears before (outside of) the word with preceding the arguments. The uses of these two types of qualifiers are different; for example, the above example could be further clarified as follows:

 
# {{lb|pl|reflexive-się}} to [[get]] to {{gl|to begin to do some activity}} {{+obj|pl|:do(gen)<q:standard>/:za(acc)<q:common but proscribed><to what>}}

appearing as

  1. (reflexive with się) to get to (to begin to do some activity) [with (standard) do (+ genitive) or (common but proscribed) za (+ accusative) ‘to what’]

Conversely, the following example for Polish odpowiedni shows where <q*:...> is appropriate}}:

# {{senseid|pl|suitable}} [[suitable]], [[appropriate]], [[proper]], [[adequate]], [[relevant]] {{+obj|pl|:do(gen)<to what>|dat/:dla(gen)<for what><q*:obsolete>}}

which appears as

  1. suitable, appropriate, proper, adequate, relevant [with do (+ genitive) ‘to what’; or (obsolete) with dative or dla (+ genitive) ‘for what’]

Finally, it should be noted that if an argument is not part of an alternant set (i.e. does not have a slash next to it), any individual qualifiers (<q:...> and <qq:...>) are automatically promoted to overall qualifiers. An example where this occurs is Romanian întâlni:

# {{lb|ro|transitive|reflexive|or|reciprocal}} to [[meet]] {{+obj|ro|:cu<q:if reflexive>}}

which appears as

  1. (transitive, reflexive or reciprocal) to meet [(if reflexive) with cu]

The <q:...> qualifier was automatically "promoted" to (i.e. converted into) <q*:...>, causing it to appear outside (before) the preceding with.

Another example where q* is needed is the following definition of the Portuguese verb prescindir:

# {{lb|pt|intransitive|transitive|or|reflexive}} to [[do without]]; to [[dispense]] with {{+obj|pt|:de<something>/:de(inf)<doing something><q*:without or with a reflexive pronoun>|dirobj<something><q*:without a reflexive pronoun>}}
  1. (intransitive, transitive or reflexive) to do without; to dispense with [(without or with a reflexive pronoun) with de ‘something’ or de (+ infinitive) ‘doing something’; or (without a reflexive pronoun) with direct object ‘something’]

This verb comes in several syntactic constructions: (a) non-reflexive, with a direct object; (b) reflexive or non-reflexive, with the object preceded by de; (c) reflexive or non-reflexive, with de followed by an infinitive verb. The intransitive (non-reflexive) construction with de appears the most common. This is expressed using a combination of qualifiers and alternants.

Arbitrary text can appear inside of qualifiers (as well as glosses and other inline modifiers surrounded by angle brackets). An example with Portuguese bater à porta:

# {{senseid|pt|to present itself}} {{lb|pt|intransitive|idiomatic}} to [[come knocking]] {{gl|of a bad situation: to present itself to someone}} {{+obj|pt|:de(object)/a possessive pronoun<q:preceding {{m|pt|porta}}><for someone>}}

which appears as

  1. (intransitive, idiomatic) to come knocking (of a bad situation: to present itself to someone) [with de (+ object) or (preceding porta) a possessive pronoun ‘for someone’]

Here, a template call to {{m}} appears inside of angle brackets. This produces HTML that itself contains angle brackets, but this is parsed correctly because the parser ignores balanced angle brackets inside the inline modifier.

Labels

Labels, as in {{lb}}, can be attached to any argument, just like qualifiers. The inline modifiers <l:...> (for left labels) and <ll:...> (for right labels) work parallel to left and right qualifiers. An example of such a label modifier in action is with Portuguese estar:

# {{senseid|pt|forms the progressive}} {{lb|pt|auxiliary}} to [[be]]; {{ng|forms the [[progressive]] aspect}} {{+obj|pt|ger<ll:Brazil>/:a(inf)<ll:Portugal>}}

which appears as

  1. (auxiliary) to be; forms the progressive aspect [with gerund (Brazil) or a (+ infinitive) (Portugal)]

Here, the verb estar has different syntax in Brazil and Portugal, and the labels auto-link to the appropriate Wikipedia article on the two dialects.

A similar example is with Polish abdykować:

# {{lb|pl|intransitive|law}} to [[abdicate]] {{gl|to surrender, renounce or relinquish, as a sovereign power}} {{+obj|pl|:na rzecz(gen)<on behalf of someone> + :z(gen)/:od(gen)<l:in <<Middle Polish>>><from what>}}

which appears as

  1. (intransitive, law) to abdicate (to surrender, renounce or relinquish, as a sovereign power) [with na rzecz (+ genitive) ‘on behalf of someone’, along with z (+ genitive) or (in Middle Polish) od (+ genitive) ‘from what’]

This uses the double angle-bracket syntax described in Template:label#Double angle bracket notation.

Another complex example follows, for Portuguese dar:

# {{lb|pt|<<transitive>> (<<Portugal>>) or <<intransitive>> (<<Brazil>>)|colloquial}} to [[defeat]] by a [[given]] [[score]] {{+obj|pt|dirobj<ll:Portugal>/:de<ll:Brazil><a score> + :a<ll:Portugal>/:em<ll:Brazil><someone or someone's team>}}

which appears as

  1. (transitive (Portugal) or intransitive (Brazil), colloquial) to defeat by a given score [with direct object (Portugal) or de (Brazil) ‘a score’, along with a (Portugal) or em (Brazil) ‘someone or someone's team’]

The distinction between individual and overall labels exists, exactly as for qualifiers, along with corresponding inline modifiers <l*:...> and <ll*:...> and corresponding "promotion" behavior for arguments not part of an alternant set.

Arguments inside of parentheses

The governance spec given in parentheses after a literal word (preposition, conjunction, or the like), which indicates the syntactic properties of the phrase or clause governed by the literal word, can be anything that goes in a single argument; it is processed recursively when parsing and formatting. Some examples were provided above where alternants can be given to indicate that a preposition can take a noun in more than one case, e.g. :o(acc/loc)<about something>, and where multiple inflection tags separated by & are given, e.g. :w(acc&poss&pronoun)<to whom>. A more complex example of this occurs with Portuguese dar in its impersonal meaning "to be possible":

# {{lb|pt|impersonal}} to be [[possible]], [[can]] {{+obj|pt|:para(subject&pronoun<qq:optional> + pers&inf)<for someone to do something>}}

which appears as

  1. (impersonal) to be possible, can [with para (+ subject pronoun (optional) with personal infinitive) ‘for someone to do something’]

Another example with a somewhat complex argument inside parentheses occurs with Portuguese saber in its meaning "to know that ...":

# {{senseid|pt|to know a fact}} {{lb|pt|transitive|or|intransitive}} to be [[aware]], to [[know]] {{+obj|pt|:que(ind-cl&when positive/sub-cl&when negated)<that ...>}}

which appears as

  1. (transitive or intransitive) to be aware, to know [with que (+ indicative clause when positive or subjunctive clause when negated) ‘that ...’]

Another example with Azerbaijani oturub-durmaq:

# to [[dance to someone's tune]], to live and die by someone's word, to obey or follow every instruction from someone, to follow someone's guidance rather than taking independent decisions {{+obj|az|::ilə(:söz<word>/:dediyi<what was said><q*:mostly>)<with>}}

which appears as

  1. to dance to someone's tune, to live and die by someone's word, to obey or follow every instruction from someone, to follow someone's guidance rather than taking independent decisions [with ((mostly) söz ‘word’ or dediyi ‘what was said’ +) ilə ‘with’]

Here, in this usage of the term, the postposition ilə (with) is usually accompanied by söz or dediyi.

Another example with German berufen:

# {{lb|de|transitive}} to [[appoint]] {{+obj|de|acc<someone> + :auf(acc)/:zu(dat)<to a high office>/:als(acc&if active/nom&if passive)<as someone>}}

which appears as

  1. (transitive) to appoint [with accusative ‘someone’, along with auf (+ accusative) or zu (+ dative) ‘to a high office’ or als (+ accusative if active or nominative if passive) ‘as someone’]

Another example with German bringen, which shows that nesting (in fact, arbitrary nesting) is possible inside of parens:

# {{lb|de|transitive}} to [[get]], to [[cause]] {{+obj|de|acc<someone> + :zum(nominalized&verb)/:dazu(:zu(inf)/:dass(clause)/omitted&clause)<to do something>}}

which appears as

  1. (transitive) to get, to cause [with accusative ‘someone’, along with zum (+ nominalized verb) or dazu (+ zu (+ infinitive) or dass (+ clause) or omitted clause) ‘to do something’]

The intent is that when German bringen means "to cause", the verb expressing the action that is caused can be expressed either using zum followed by a nominalized verb or by dazu, which can optionally be followed by a zu-infinitive clause, a clause headed by dass (that), or nothing.

Notes on inflection tags

Inflection tags were originally created for use in {{inflection of}}, which sometimes leads to mismatches between what is most convenient for the inflection tags used in {{inflection of}} and those used in {{+obj}}. Some things of note:

  1. The direct tag refers to the direct case. For a direct object, spell out direct object as a single tag or use its abbreviation dirobj.
  2. Likewise the indirect tag refers to the indirect case (see direct case). For an indirect object, spell out indirect object as a single tag or use its abbreviation indirobj.
  3. The abbreviations adj and adv stand for adjectival and adverbial, used as modifiers e.g. for participles in various Slavic languages. Spell out adjective and adverb to refer to these parts of speech.
  4. The tag in is an abbreviation for inanimate; to get the word in, either use !in or put it as part of a larger tag with embedded spaces.
  5. Shortcuts are provided for various types of clauses for use inside of parentheses to describe the part or speech governed by a given preposition or conjunction, e.g. ind-cl for an indicative clause, sub-cl for a subjunctive clause, pres-cl for a present-tense clause, pres-sub-cl for a present subjunctive clause, cond-cl for a conditional clause, etc. See the documentation for {{inflection of}} under Template:inflection of#Non-alias shortcuts for the full list.
  6. As a general rule, the part of speech aliases used in conjunction with the |pos= parameter to various templates (see Template:head#Part of speech) do not work here — and worse, actually have different meanings. For example, n means neuter, not noun; pre and prep refer to the prepositional case (found in Russian), not to prepositions; etc. It is best to spell out the parts of speech in full.
