Georgian

Hi, Dixtosa. If you know Georgian well, you might be interested in these request pages: Wiktionary:Requested entries (Georgian), Category:Translation requests (Georgian), Category:Translations to be checked (Georgian), Category:Requests for etymology (Georgian), and Category:Georgian terms needing attention. —Stephen ^(Talk) 18:23, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Category:Georgian entries needing etymology--Dixtosa (talk) 14:28, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Welcome on board

Hi,

Welcome to Wiktionary. Please add {{Babel-8}} to your user page. For example:

{{Babel-8|ka|en-4}}

There are many Georgian requests to be filled! --Anatoli 23:49, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

პლაგიატორი

I've made a few 'improvements', do you agree with them? Should Georgian script be bolded or not? --Mglovesfun (talk) 10:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

I would agree, if i didnt make a mistake XD. sorry . first of all პლაგიატორი doesnt end with ობა :) . second of all i am pretty sure , there are a very little number of words in Georgian ending with ორი. So, i think category(i mean :Georgian nouns ending with ობა) &template(suffix) isn't needed.--Dixtosa 11:04, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

also, Should Georgian script be bolded or not. is it rhetorical question?:)Dixtosa 11:07, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

No, I (any administrator) can turn the automatic bolding off at {{Geor}}. --Mglovesfun (talk) 11:08, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Why should not be bolded? If in all(probably?) languages use that?Dixtosa 11:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

We don't bold Japanese, Chinese or Hebrew. The rest, I think, we do. --Mglovesfun (talk) 11:17, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

And if i think that it doesnt matter? :S. Let it be bolded : )--Dixtosa 11:24, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Čikobava

I made a template for the Georgian Explanatory dictionary: {{R:ka:GED}}. You can use it like this. --Vahag 13:23, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

thx XD. i was intending to do: )--Dixtosa 13:28, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

პლაგიატი

Why did you put this into Category:Georgian verbal nouns? I think this category is for Georgian nouns derived from Georgian verbs. Also, doesn't Čikobava say it's from Russian плагиат (plagiat)? You obviously borrowed the word via Russian, not directly from Latin. --Vahag 13:48, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Verbal noun doesn't need to be derived from verb. if a word refers to an action (or a condition) and isnt a verb is verbal noun. In GED words which isnt derived directly is usually said(via russian or via blablabla). in this case that isnt written.

p.s. obviously?XDDixtosa 13:55, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Postpositions

Hi, i would like to know if Georgian postpositions' entries should appear as "-entry" or simply as "entry". example "-ათვის" vs "ათვის" ? Which way should be used?

As our dictionaries include that words with hyphen, as we in ka.wiktionary.org store with hyphen, i would use hyphen here too.Dixtosa 18:35, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

ok thank you, then please help me to change the -ათვის page to ათვის.

thanks for your help. btw, what do you think of my work?

what do you mean? what works? contributions in Georgian language? i appreciate XD.Dixtosa 21:23, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

that is what i mean, my contributions of georgian, i am no mire than the most humble and inexperienced amateur out there, but knowing, that i will help others appreciate the great beauty of georgian and get acquainted with the language, in order to create a multinacional community of friends of georgia who want to know thw story of the country and eventually gear up everyone's efforts to develop with our minds this blessed by G-d, turning it into the country of us all kartuli fans, makes me put all of my passion into it. and knowing that a natieve giergian appreciates my work, makes me feel extremely fluttered. thx.

:) --Dixtosa 21:21, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

{{ka-noun-c}}

I think this can be used for nouns whose stems drop vowels. It just needs an optional second parameter. I can make {{ka-noun-c|წყალ|c'qal|წყლ|c'ql}} do the same thing as {{ka-noun-c-2|წყალ|c'qal|წყლ|c'ql}}. Basically it will be like this: The full code is basically |1=წყალ|2=c'qal|3=წყლ|4=c'ql, so I can make {{ka-noun-c}} use 3= and 4= if they're specified. If they aren't, those will just use 1= and 2=. I dunno if my explanation makes sense, but as long as the case-endings are the same, this would be a very simple change to make. — [Ric Laurent] — 00:31, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

understood... good idea, but wouldn't it overload the code? Dixtosa 12:01, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

no no, it's very simple. It just changes {{{1}}} to {{{1|{{{2}}}}}}. I'll try to do this soon so you can check it Out. — [Ric Laurent] — 12:07, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Stylistic plural

Gamarjoba! Can you explain me what "stylistic plural" is? I've been searching it on the Internet, failed to be successful so far. For example, what's the difference between საპნები and საპონნი? Thanks in advance :) Sinek 15:43, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

merhaba! : )). Well, I didn't translated it XD. So, it seems to denote pluralization in old Georgian. But this way of pluralization is maintained in modern Georgian. Moreover, sometimes stylistic plural is preferred. So, there isn't any difference except the age of usage XD. Dixtosa 15:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

So it's used mainly by elder people? :D Thank you so much! Sinek 15:53, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

IPA

IPA template should be proceeded by an asterisk (*). Also, should contain either slashes (//) or square brackets ([]). Furthermore, please use lang=ka to indicate Georgian. None of this stuff is vital, but it is nice to keep the format of the dictionary as similar as is possible over our 2.5 million entries. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Since i use own-made application for this, its no problem for me& i will take it into account : ). thx.

Oh and ʼ isn't an IPA character, is it? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

:S. dunno. Maybe is for Georgian alphabet only.88.123.102.25 18:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

behorn

Hi there! I see where you have changed put horns => put horns; however, to put horn is not a common idiomatic expression worthy of its own entry, is it? Leasnam 18:42, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Imnt native speaker of english, nor germanist nor scientist somehow focused on English idioms XD. That idiom is googleable(XD) and that means that it deserves a single entry. --88.123.102.25 18:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Georgian conjugation

Hi Dixtosa, do you know much about Georgian conjugation? If so, it would great to include some in Georgian entries. Other languages represented here have conjugation tables for their verbs, such as Russian for example. There is a Russian template {{ru-conj}} which shows the conjugations in a nice template. I'd help, but I know nothing about Georgian, but I know something about conjugation on Wiktionary. Thanks for all the entries. --Rockpilot 16:03, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

No i dont know much. But i know enaugh to make a little(more little than we have here) table that includes all grammatical times with all persons, as i did in Georgian wiktionary(just a table, template for transitive verbs). If you look into it well you 'll notice that the size of a table is half of what we have here. I did it like that simply because i didn't understand what intransitive screeves was; Mayebe it is incorrect. Maybe we do not need such a big table. Maybe we'd better start with simple and then give it a diverse opportunities.

P.S., i always can translate that template (located in Georgian wiktionary) into English.

BTW, this may be used as a guidance.--88.123.102.25 16:35, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi

Hi there Dixtosa, what's the plural of სექსუალური ორიენტაცია? Sinek 17:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

სექსუალური ორიენტაციები. well i have to make templates for two-word phrases. like this.--88.123.102.25 10:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Well I'm currently working on sexual orientations in Turkish Wiktionary, and actually kinda busy in real life too :D I may try to update the templates here, based on those in Turkish Wiktionary. But does სექსუალური ორიენტაცია use the same template with არსებითი სახელი, as it ends in -a, and "noun" ends in -i? Sinek 11:49, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I am busy too XD. No სექსუალური ორიენტაცია dsnt comply with Şablon:ka-ad-ünsüz, and yes, just because ორიენტაცია ends with a. Nouns in couples decline as if it were a single word. I should implement the "second word parameter" in all decl. templates.

btw, "working on sexual orientations" sounds weird man : )).--88.123.102.25 20:31, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Lol, my point is just to create related words; but yeah, just noticed that it sounds kinda weird to work on sexual orientations :D Sinek 23:45, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

One more question, does ჰეტეროსექსუალი means heterosexual? (And other orientations, ჰომოსექსუალი, ბისექსუალი ...etc.) And if I omit the -i at the end, would I get the adjective form? Like ჰეტეროსექსუალ კაცი, is this true? And lastly, I'm pretty sure there are some vulgar and slang terms for gay, lesbian, top, bottom etc. Could you please tell me? Thanks in advance :) Sinek 11:36, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Well, yes ჰეტეროსექსუალი is identical to heterosexual. And others too. Why on Earth should we have changed the meanings for the international words? : )). No, omitting the last -i doesnt make adjectives. When declining words' couples, the first(i.e. adjectives, I call them definers) declines differently(to be more precise, adjectives do not decline until they become noun(see nominalisation)) comparing to rules for nouns... So, and in two cases:dative and adverbal, adjective dismisses its last letter. How the second word declines I told you in my last post. So, პედერასტი and ცისფერი stand for a gay. But none of these words are vulgar. ლეზბოსელი for lesbian. this too. But believe or not we dont have words for top or bottom XD. or I don't know :S.--88.123.102.25 14:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Waow, thanks once more. But one point I couldn't get that, how's the adjective formation? I mean what are the adjectival forms of hetero-,homo-,bi- and asexual? Really? No vulgar terms? That's really surprising :D And really cool :D Sinek 17:07, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

There are some suffixes to make adjectives. But homo- and other blablabla- -sexuals are both: nouns and adjectives as in English.

Yep, no vulgar words for gay and lesbian etc., but a bunch of derogatory terms XD--88.123.102.25 17:17, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Ah ok it's clear now :D Thanks a million. I don't want to bother you but I really want to know such derogatory terms :) Any examples? Sinek 17:23, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

No problem, bother me. I love being bothered XD.

Oh, lemme not corrupt my talk page XD. Although, i'm sure you know where to get that kind of terms :D. You know there is a good project ,probably you have heard of it, called wiktionary. XD. --88.123.102.25 17:36, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Aww I love corruption :D Hmm I may have heard of it. Let me google it. LOL anyways thanks a lot :) Sinek 17:47, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

What to do about Georgian verbs

Hi Dixtosa, thanks so much for all your work on Georgian here!

I know you're not too fond of all my requests for entries on Georgian verb forms, but there's some good reasons really.

In case you don't know I'm living in Tbilisi and trying to pick up Georgian by casual study and practice. I'm not doing a course but I do have a few textbooks. I've gotten to the point where I need some understanding of verbs.

Well Georgian is famous for being a difficult language, and its verbs are generally considered to be the most difficult aspect.

On Wiktionary we discussed a few years ago whether we should support inflected forms and later whether we should support forms with attached clitics. In both cases we decided we should ideally support both for a few reasons.

People with only a casual interest in a language may be curious about forms they find "in the wild" but unable to analyse a form into root, derivational morphemes, inflectional morphemes, and clitics.

So nobody's probably going to systematically sit down and try to write an entry for every cliticized version of every inflected, but when they're requested there's nice ways to make entries for those. Stephen G. Brown has made some good ones for instance in a few languages.

But for inflections some people do try to write an entry for each form, or write a bot to make the entries for them. Though of course we never expect anybody ought to go to this trouble but we appreciate it when they do.

So anyway I would like to, if you are interested, try to work together on a format and a set of templates to support really good Georgian verb paradigms and verb form entries. It seems you've already made some very nice templates.

There's lots of information packed into a Georgian verb so there's lots of challenges. Here's some ideas I've been toying with in my head for a few weeks.

• Always list the root for each verb
• Always list the preverb(s) each verb takes
• List which screeve series/subseries it belongs to by name
• Somehow handle the verbs which are made with several roots by suppletion. (I'm having a lot of trouble with the verbs for "to come/go" if you haven't noticed)

I can hang out in the IRC channel, talk about it here, via email, or meet up in person, whatever you want.

Let me know what you think. — hippietrail (talk) 12:10, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello. thank you too.

yep, every verb is irregular in Georgian :D. just kidding. things arent in such an awful state. Simply, they are not researched well, i think. There is no agreement, even this is one's opinion.

Writing a bot and working together sounds really good XD

I can write a template according to the article i mentioned above. I have already done in ka.wiktionary that for transitive words(class I per above). But I dunno if it is most correct, or is it worth writing now? assuming that a good paradigm might be discovered later XD. huh XD.

what about Skype?--Wikstosa (talk) 16:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

• I'm not always logged in to Skype when I'm on the net but I have the same username there: "hippietrail" — hippietrail (talk) 11:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

OK, i added you on skype. but we can talk on FB too, if you wish. i am there more often than skype. if you prefer FB, sign in to skype, I will tell my name you there :D.--Wikstosa (talk) 15:31, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

rest

Hi Dixtosa. Now that I've left Tbilisi to hitchhike around Georgia I've been using my Georgian more conversationally even though I lack 99% of grammar it's been pretty successful. But I feel some important vocabulary gaps. I've requested translations but as you know the req pages and categories are pretty fat right now. Usually the dictionaries I have and can access online are vague about the senses and POSes or just have too many apparent synonyms. So that ones I really need I'll add here. I would be awesome if you felt like adding Georgian entries for them too because usually even when I learn a new verb I can't put it in dictionary form or most basic 1st and 3rd person present forms.

• rest - has two common senses, one of which is both noun and verb in English: "You can take the rest of my chocolate", "I'm tired and need to rest", "I had a rest and now I can concentrate better".

I'll add more when I need them. Let me know when asking too much! — hippietrail (talk) 10:19, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

fyi, I finally came up with a standard I will be formatting entries consisting Georgiasn verbs, and you prolly want to know. so, cuz not all verbs have verbal noun, i ve decided to use third person future/present form as a dictionary form. So, although დაისვენოს has verbal noun (დასვენება) it is linked to დაისვენებს (third person, in this case, future form)--Dixtosa 13:42, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Request pages

Hey thanks again for all the fulfilled requests. Now that I'm travelling again and not in Tbilisi anymore I'm finding new gaps in my vocabulary so I'll surely be adding yet more.

But you really shouldn't remove fulfilled requests as soon as you answer them. That's something the requesters should do when he says his requests answered. In the case of ka:requests I guess at least 99% of them are from me (-: If you know you've answered something, and no further comment was made on it, and it's sat there ignored for a good while, then sure go ahead and remove the requests. But you know I'm here regularly if not every day (I just went camping for three days). And since the system provides no way to track requests the best way to do it is to look at the request page for blue links. If you remove the requests the OP won't see those blue links. You can't really expect that a requester will memorize all the words they request, especially if they request a lot or if a request takes a long time to answer.

Also I left a couple blue because I found their entries odd. One was an adjective with an English gloss "bully" which I didn't understand. I should've put a note about it. The other was the Georgian word for "Abkhaz", which I did put a not on that it seems to have another sense because I saw it on a menu. You should watch out for things like this when removing requests 'en masse'.

Other than this peeve, great work (-; — hippietrail (talk) 12:28, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

your right, its hard to remember all requested terms, but i think i eased your work: you dont have to seek for the blues any more :D, just compare versions :D. despite that i will not remove things there from now on :D.

as for abkhaz, are you sure about that? if yes, it may be a spello of აფხაზურა (apxazura).

as for bully, its შესანიშნავი. what did you not understand?--Dixtosa 12:07, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Aha yes შესანიშნავი / bully. That sense of 'bully' is either very old-fashioned or might be used just in some places - not places where I've spent much time. So it doesn't make a good gloss for a word from another language unless the word has similar restricted use. Google Translate comes up with 'excellent' and 'wonderful', which both seem less unusual. By the way 'splendiferous' is also a bit quirky but at least not confusing like 'bully' which has a more common meaning similar to 'thug'. — hippietrail (talk) 09:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

By the way, when fixing mistakes like the shuki/shoki shock/electricity thing, it's a good idea to fix it in both directions. I added 'electricity' to the gloss for 'shuki' where it only had 'light', so you might want to check that that was the right thing to do. — hippietrail (talk) 09:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

i dont know in what context the word is usually used, but i do know that the mainings are the same. Also, feel very very very (:D) free to change entries made during around 2-10 April 2012 by me :D.--Dixtosa 19:58, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

ქალიშვილი

გამარჯობა. I was wondering if not ქალიშვილი also has the meanings 'unmarried woman' and 'virgin'; as is suggested by a dictionary I am using. Njardarlogar (talk) 21:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

it does have.--Dixtosa 11:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Verb paradigm for გადახდა (to pay)

In studying Georgian verbs and getting nowhere but a sore brain I wonder if you could help me with the conjugation for this word.

For some reason I chose this word because it seemed simple but some of the forms I've found don't fit with the rules in my textbooks. (But I don't have it all written down here to spell out the problems.)

I don't need the whole thing, just the present, imperfect, and future. Thanks. — hippietrail (talk) 05:48, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Translation requests

Woah I see you've been really busy answering tons of my Georgian translation requests - thanks very much! There were lots of basic vocabulary words that were not easy to get from the dictionary due to polysemy etc (-: — hippietrail (talk) 19:47, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Wordform frequency

I've been doing some work on Georgian word frequency.

I have a script that will download random Wikipedia articles and convert them to plain text.

I used it to grab 10,000 random pages, then removed the duplicates which resulted in about 9,000 pages still.

I then processed this data with vim to filter out all runs of Georgian letters. (Perhaps I should've permitted hyphens in words too?)

Then I have a script which normalizes the word forms, counts occurrences by normal form and particular form, then outputs a sorted list from most to least frequent, with the numbers.

Would you be interested in this list or the scripts? Or is their a place on Wiktionary to include it?

So far normalization only treats upper and lower case the same so is irrelevant for Georgian, but I can add whatever functionality to it.

I didn't think of supporting Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri at the time. I can make separate lists or add them to the normalization.

What I really want to add to the normalization is lemmatization though. Of course Georgian morphological analysis in notoriously tricky (-:

I don't know whether you have or want to acquire any programming experience, but you are more than welcome to help out if you find this interesting.

I also have a web app I've been working on to convert between Georgian script and transliteration. So far it works 100% correctly with the official transliteration we use here but I'm planning to add support for all other schemes too.

— hippietrail (talk) 07:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Update: I've put the first 1,000 here: Wiktionary:Frequency_lists/Georgian — hippietrail (talk) 12:44, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

line by line (:D):

1,2)wow

3) very interesting :D in terms of mathematical probability.

4) yes you should.

5) since your normalization "only treats upper and lower case" is useless.

6) yes im interesetd in both. BTW, have you compared the list you obtained with the list I gave you in FB ?(if not it would be interesting to check. I hope the chat messages survived the deactivation of my FB account :D)

7) we can only add noun and adjective normalization, of course: If we could also add verb normalization there would be no difficulty making templates, making verb-form articles that you request etc.

8) Supproting Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri is an earthly redundant thing to waste time for, at this moment.

9) I repeat, noun lemmazation is quite possible (with the help of Georgian words' databases, one of which I have)

10) Of course It interests me, but i can not really understand a purpose of it. If you want to normalize all words in frequency list: I am here! :D (btw, I think that noun and verb forms need not to be lemmatized. If X is more common than its lemma Y, then X is still more common than Y :D). If you just want to ease your work - guessing lemmas, then use the software I have suggested to you in FB's chat (again FB :D).

11) As for me, I have python script for this :D. And it works 100% (sometimes even more :D) too.

12) Well, I will not touch noun/verb forms, but as I am (was) experienced user in ka:wikipedia, I'll remove all in-fact-not-frequent words :D. OK? One of the examples of such words is ქსე (abb. of ქართული საბჭოთა ენციკლოპედია - Georgian Soviet encyclopaedia), which is a name of widely used template in ka.wiki.--Dixtosa 12:09, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

• Well it's really hard to read your replies non interleaved so I guess I'll respond likewise. Sorry in advance if I get lost and mess it up ...

If you like I can put the source of all my Georgian-related tools up on Github. So far I just have the one I made to sort the Georgian requests page. I just added transliteration support to it: https://gist.github.com/1858881

So far only upper/lower case is supported. It's not useful for Georgian but the script works on any language. It could fold Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri but it turns out they're very rare even on ka.wikipedia. It could normalize hyphenated terms as unhyphenated variants if such exist. Etc.

I noticed you're not on Facebook anymore. I can't access our old messages. I'm not sure I kept any links you gave me there )-:

For nominal lemmatizing we would need to do steps: remove clitics such as -ts and -a, remove postpositions which are written as part of the word, remove case endings, remove plural morpheme if it's there, replace nominal case ending. But of course some of these steps are ambigous, some include messing with the final vowel, some include dropping a letter such as in megobari->megobrebi, and doubtless some stuff I forgot about and some stuff I never heard of. Oh and there's possibly some irregular forms. All while being sure not to allow bogus forms like megobarebi to slip through.

As it happens supporting Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri took almost no extra effort and in my sample of 10,000 pages I only got three words in Asomtavruli and none at all in Nuskhuri!

I can also use Wiktionary itself as a database of Georgian lemmata, as long as our format is standardized enough that I can parse it. I've done tons of Wiktionary dump file parsing before but haven't touched it for over a year now so I'm rusty and I'm sure my scripts are too.

If you really want to lemmatize the entire list by hand you are welcome. I can put the list itself up on github.

Lemmatizing tells us which words are most common rather than which forms are most common. So we would know how common "megobari" is even if it only gets 30% of occurrences and the rest is split between "megobrebi" and "megobrebis" or whatever. This is useful to me as a Georgian learner even if it's less interesting to Wiktionary. But I think it's interesting to both.

I never managed to get the software to work that you linked in Facebook, and now I don't even have the link.

Instead of removing the nonwords, could you just strike them out with

<s>

and follow them with a comment on why. That way I can code around them when getting new random samples in the future.

Hi, I feel like bothering you again. What does ოვანი mean? It is used in the following sentence here: გრიგორიანულ კალენდარში არ არსებობს 0-ოვანი საუკუნე [...]. Thanks in advance. Njardarlogar (talk) 18:41, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, 0-ოვანი is to be interpreted as ნულოვანი. I am not sure about the suffix (because Georgian explanatory dictionary doesnt have an entry for that), but at least it is productive.

Georgian lemma forms for verbs

Hi. I've made an example layout for how to handle the lemma form of verbs in Georgian. Let me know what you think. I personally think it would be best to give the English infinitive (and not "he/she/it will build him/her/it/them"), since it is a lemma form after all. Then the information regarding which form of the verb is considered the lemma would be provided in some other manner/elsewhere. I think they do something similar with Welsh verbs? Njardarlogar (talk) 10:57, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi.

First of all ააშენებს(future) is not a lemma here, but აშენებს (present), as we (or I xD) prefer a present form to be the lemma when a certain root can produce both forms: present and future (not every root can hold both tenses, rather the majority has only either presnet or future forms, producing either imperfective or perfective verbal nouns respectively).

Secondly, I, personally, would never go (at least manually) into depth like that. Besides, I dont think we need them now.

Thirdly, yeah he/she/it VERB him/her/it/them is the only drawback and embarrasingly bad thing about lemmas being verb forms. But you should see Latin lemmas (they also have verb form as the lemma).

Forthly, yeah "the information regarding which form of the verb is considered the lemma" would be nice... and I will do sooner or later.

I have no idea what Welsh verbs are like.

BTW, what's wrong with აკეთებს it is very informative--Dixtosa. 11:57, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

The deconstruction bit was to provide information on the various affixes (-ებ, -ს etc.), but their might be smarter ways of doing that (specifying which conjugation and so on).

აკეთებს lacks information on the root (-კეთ-), wouldn't it be best for the root to always be listed? Now you have to do stuff like recognising ა- and -ებ-ს in order to find the root, so you would need to know quite a bit about Georgian grammar already. Then again, one might not get that far with only the root, anyway.

I see now that the Latin lemmas are described in the same way, and it strikes me as a bit odd, as you may not be interested in that particular verb form at all. Njardarlogar (talk) 12:46, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

It is not the best idea but, yet, root truly is the useful information, but only in the etymology line, because the root is not usually an inflection of a verb form. Yes Latin & Georgian verbs' formatting are a bit obscure especially for nonnative speakers, but that is the best solution that I have come up with so far.

Regardless of what just has said, I would add root argument to ka-verb if you must. _-_Dixtosa. 15:09, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I have just started reading about the verbs in detail, so I will drop the topic for now. By the way, which is the best lemma for the verb 'to read' according to you, then? (verbal noun კითხვა) კითხულობს? --Njardarlogar (talk) 19:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Wiktionary:Requested entries (Hebrew)

The more information you can give, the more likely that we can figure out or find out what you're thinking of. Did you come across these words somewhere? —Ruakh_TALK 17:51, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

They are just possible etymologies of some Georgian words, particularly

• ახვარი for the first word.
• მაყუთი for the second one.
• ნაშა for the third one.
• პონტი for the fourth.

Several arguments rationalise this assumption:

1. All aforementioned words, along with other Georgian words(see ბაითი, გოიმი) that most probably derived from Hebrew, are slang terms and came into the language colloquially.
2. There were a great number of Jews in Georgia and as a result there is even a language called Judaeo-Georgian which has many Hebrew loanwords.

Thoughts about improvements for Georgian

ბარო ბიჭო! So I've become a bit active in Georgian again, actively studying a lot at home and working on some software tools for stemming and analysing inflected Georgian words.

I've come to the conclusion that we really should include some additional information in the Georgian verb headword line to help non-Georgian-speakers with the difficulties of the languages.

I'm still struggling to learn Georgian verbs so correct me on any misunderstandings.

Lexical parts of Georgian verbs:

1. Version vowel / Versioner / Pre-radical vowel -- optional
2. Preverb -- optional
3. Stem -- Mandatory
4. Thematic suffix / Present-future stem formant / PFSF -- optional

By lexical I mean these parts of the verb must be learned when learning a new verb to be able to inflect it for tense, aspect, mood, etc. The other parts of the verb I didn't list because they're only used for inflection.

Now it's very hard for a non Georgian speaker to use a Georgian dictionary even when they know a bit about the language and know the alphabet. Just deciding which form is the lemma, and which parts are necessarily present in the lemma form is difficult.

Of the dictionaries, grammars, phrasebooks, teaching aids for Georgian I have, they do not agree on which form is the lemma. The dictionary definitely uses a verbal noun, I think perfective, but I'm not positive. The teaching aids each use different ways to include some of the information. They handle preverbs and noun class best but are less successful with version and PFSF.

I think we should try to include, for each verb lemma entry, specifically, all these parts clearly laid out, plus the noun class.

Even when you know all the preverbs there can be ambiguity in that the same sequence of letters is possible among the verb stem and version vowel. I think this is most common with the preverb მი-.

For each verb lemma entry should state whether the verb has a preverb or not, and what the preverb is.

Version vowels are also very tricky and I still don't understand everything. The books try to describe them but they all have ambiguous language which doesn't completely clarify them.

It seems each verb might "have" a version vowel, and if it does, it can be any of ა-, ე-, ი-, or უ-.

What I don't know is if it "has" a version vowel, will it have it in the lemma form when the lemma is the 3p singular present indicative? Sometimes I'm trying to look up a verb. I look look up the spelling starting with the preverb. If it's not there I start looking up starting at the next letter. Sometimes I've noticed that if the next letter is an ა that I might find it there in some dictionaries, but sometimes, in some dictionaries, I might have to look for it under the next letter.

So I know the version vowel changes depending on several factors, including the tense/screeve, the transitivity the person and number of direct and indirect objects, and the verb class. This is why I've used "scare quotes" when I say a verb "has" a version vowel. Because all verbs seem to have them depending on the inflection, but only some seem to have them even in the lemma form.

For every verb we need to state in the inflection line whether that verb "has" a version vowel, whether it's "always" there including in the lemma form, or whether it only occurs once you start inflecting, and of course which vowel it is for this verb. Remember that sometimes there seems to be a vowel at the beginning of the root so just because we can see one in the headword we (non native Georgian speakers) don't know if it's a version vowel or just a vowel that happens to be there.

Of course every verb has a stem and though they never occur on their own it's very important for foreign learners of the Georgian language to be able to spot them. For one thing knowing the stem helps you to find the word in dictionaries and word lists that don't use the same lemma form that Wiktionary uses.

Then for every verb we need to state whether the verb has a PFSF or not, and if so, which PFSF it has. This is also murky to us non Georgians because sometimes it seems some other PFSF will change into ებ in some inflections and words which don't use a PFSF in the lemma can appear with one in other forms, though in that case I think the PFSF is always the same and not "lexical". Also the PFSF ი being a single letter doesn't stand out and can probably also be a source of ambiguity. I don't know if ი can every be the last letter in a stem or if it can occur at the beginning of the suffixes that come after the stem and/or PFSF. But when you're learning you just don't know and it's very confusing.

For English verbs in Wiktionary we list transitive or intransitive. We could do this for Georgian verbs but it's another area that seems more complicated than English. All sources sort Georgian verbs into classes numbered with Roman numerals from I to IV. Besides that they differ and use words such as transitive, intransitive, active, passive, bipersonal, tripersonal, unipersonal, ergative, unergative, etc. These are just the words I can recall right now but there are others. I'm not sure which if any of this information we should include. But verb class / conjugation class is standard so we should include that.

Then there are some other parts of the Georgian verb which I haven't even tried to learn yet, such as the two different morphemes which can turn an active verb into a passive verb. I believe one is a prefix and one is a suffix. I'm not sure if either can lead to ambiguity in having similar letters to other parts of the verb which may occur just before or after them.

The next thing to think about is how to display this information. I think this matters less and can be tweaked as part of the templates. Let me use an imaginary verb stem "foo" (ფუუ) (-:

We could explicitly label each section.

შეაფუუებს (shefuuebs) class I preverb შე (she) version ა (a) stem ფუუ (fuu) theme suffix ებ (eb)

გამოფუუა (gamofuua) class II preverb გამო (gamo) version - stem ფუუ (fuu) theme suffix -

Or we could just leave out the labels since users will have read the About Georgian pages to learn the specifics of Georgian entries and do something like:

შეაფუუებს (shefuuebs) class I შე-ა-ფ-ბ

გამოფუუა (gamofuua) class II გამო--ფუუ-

Another way we could do it is with colour. Of course this would only help people who are not colourblind so we could use it along with the above formats.

We could include hyphens after the prefixes and before the suffixes, and how we should indicate missing optional parts, especially two missing in a row, could be done other ways. Perhaps X or ? or * or Ø, which is common in linguistics for missing "null" morphemes.

We could also think about whether to treat verbal noun entries as a kind of secondary lemma since they are used by some dictionaries and some users may be more used to them. I for one am never positive which parts are always included, always omitted, or optional in verbal nouns. I know the presence vs absence of the preverb distinguishes perfective from imperfective verbs. But I never know about version vowels and PFSF when it comes to verbal nouns. Maybe including just the noun class would be sufficient?

What do you think? Having these features will certainly help me understand Georgian verbs more quickly and make more sense of using my dictionaries and other Georgian books and resources. Then I'll be able to start making my own "form of" entries for those tons of red links I've added to the Georgian requested entries page (-: — hippietrail (talk) 08:08, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

How to figure out the Wiktionary lemma of a Georgian verb

I see you still haven't gotten around to responding to my previous wall of text so here's a practical example.

We don't have a Georgian translation for the English "to lie" as in "tell an untruth".

I want to add it but of course my dictionaries use the masdar as the lemma form. My dictionary lists მოტყუება. I don't know whether it belongs to conjugation I, II, III, or IV. I can see it has the preverb მო- and the PFSF -ებ, which leaves the root as ტყუ. I see most of the verb lemmas here end in -ს but not always and I'm not sure if our lemma should have the preverb or not, or whether it might need a pre-radical / version vowel that's not in the masdar. So I look at some Georgian wordform lists. Here on English Wiktionary the only related entry is მოტყუებით but in my collection of Georgian Wikipedia entries I find some more, a couple of which look like they could be the lemma I'm looking for: მოტყუება, ატყუებს, იტყუება. The first seems less likely since it ends in a vowel. The second has the expected -ს ending and doesn't have the preverb, which I guess is normal for the form we use as lemma? But it does seem to have a pre-radical/version vowel ა-. This seems to be the most usual version vowel in lemma forms but my reading tells me you have to remember the version vowel with a verb since it can't be determined logically. Which makes the third form also a possibility.

Can you help clarify this for me so I can contribute Georgian verb entries and translations in English verb entries? — hippietrail (talk) 03:25, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Imperfective/perfective verbs

გამარჯობა,

I have a question. Do Georgian verbs have imperfective/perfective aspect distinction? Do they exist in pairs, like Russian де́лать impf (délatʹ, “to do, to be doing”)/сде́лать pf (sdélatʹ, “to do, to have done”)? მადლობა. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:14, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

@Atitarev well, I changed {{ka-verbal noun}} using ru-verb as a model, because, yes, I found it very similar to Russian infinitives.

Not entirely like Russian though - Georgian pf and impf forms are kind of interchangeable (unlike Russian), and Georgian impfs don't produce future tense. But other than that they are really alike. For example, pfs only produce past and future tenses in both languages. And they exist in pairs (and sometimes either pf or impf is missing from a pair)

btw, why ask? is it like a seldom thing or what?--Dixtosa (talk) 21:19, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for answering. One reason is the tool User:Conrad.Irwin/editor.js, which now has impf/pf labels for all Slavic languages. It may need the same for Georgian, if you confirm that's required. Yes, it's quite rare. I only thought that Slavic languages have this feature. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:21, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

The thing is, my understanding of Georgian verbs is still poor and, as a result, situation of Georgian verbs is messed up here XD. So let's just avoid bold decisions and wait until I have a solid, less prone-to-change idea about how we treat Georgian verbs and verbal nouns.--Dixtosa (talk) 17:59, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

დრუნჩი

Hi. დრუნჩი (drunči) looks like an interesting parallel to դունչ (dunčʻ). As far as I can tell, Armenian etymological sources do not know about it. Can you check if it is attested in Old Georgian? Also, what does დრუნჩა (drunča) mean? --Vahag (talk) 10:57, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Hey.

I can't, as there is no Old Georgian corpus. So I am left with only {{R:oge:Abuladze}}, which does not include it. Probably it did not exist in Old Georgian, for the sense muzzle it had ნიჩური (ničuri).

bestowal არ არის "აბსოლუტურად არასწორი" თარგმანი.

პრობლემა მანდ (და საერთოდ ყველა სტატიის) არის მხოლოდ ის რომ ყველა თარგმანი არის ერთ ხაზზე. ნიჭი (nič̣i) სიტყვის ის მნიშვნელობა რომელიც აღნიშნავს საჩუქარს (sačukars) / ის რაც უბოძეს (is rac uboʒes)) უნდა ყოფილიყო ცხადია ცალკე ხაზზე.

მარა რაც მთავარია უმეტესობა სტატია მაინც კარგია და ზოგიერთ შემთხვევაში მიხვედრადიც არის რომ ორ ხაზზეა გადასაწერი განმარტებები (მაგალითად ურანი). ზოგჯერ საკმაოდ კარგი სტატიაც გამოდიოდა, თარგმანების სიუხვის კუთხიდან. მაგალითად უხეში, თუმცა ამასაც უნდა ორ ხაზად გაყოფა :დ.

Proto-Georgian-Zan

Since others might get interested in this, I'll try to post this one in my broken English. Do you think we need to have separate Proto-Georgian-Zan language templates? About 70% of Klimov's work is based around Proto-Georgian-Zan reconstructions and since we're actively using citations from his books, we have come to face certain difficulties due to this multiple times now. Check out გზა, ყიდვა, პილენძი, მყარი, etc. Simboyd (talk) 19:30, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

I do not think Proto-Georgian-Zan is a dialect of Proto-Kartvelian.

Module:character info and purportedly Georgian terms at WT:WE

Hello Dixtosa. First of all, thank you (again) for adding autogenerated decimal entity numbers to Module:character info. It's nice to run into an active Georgian contributor. There are two terms at WT:WE that are marked with the ISO code for Georgian, ka, namely პარაბოლანი (ṗarabolani) and нан. The latter looks suspect to me, being written in Cyrillic, but the former seems legitimate; would you be able and willing to create an entry for პარაბოლანი (ṗarabolani) and to explain what's going on with нан, please? Thanks in advance. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 07:30, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello. No probs.

Whence came პარაბოლანი? It might mean a steroid Parabolan (never heard it before though) or a very awkward archaic plural of პარაბოლა (ṗarabola, “parabola”). In any case, I will not create an entry for it, because if rfv'ed I will not be able to cite it ))

нан for sure isn't Georgian. Probably we should ask @Type56op9 diff--Dixtosa (talk) 12:32, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Don't ask me, I'm just a girl! --Type56op9 (talk) 12:49, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dixtosa: It probably is just that archaic plural. Would you mind if I create it just to get it off the list?

@Type56op9: Where did you get that list, may I ask?

 — I.S.M.E.T.A. 14:20, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

I don't remember. --Type56op9 (talk) 08:07, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

@Type56op9: Do you mind if I remove нан from the list, then? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 18:46, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ @Dixtosa: პარაბოლანი may refer to the Parabalani. Do you know the Georgian term for this group of people? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 14:34, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

No. Is it necessary to make entries for every word that happen to appear on the wanted list? just in case you do not remember, you added that term on the list.--Dixtosa (talk) 09:27, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

I suppose, strictly speaking, no. But if it's a legitimate term, what reason is there not to add it? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 16:04, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

I did not say it was a legitimate term. Which sense seems legitimate? I mentioned Parabolan only because the only google result (from an internet forum) used this term in this way.

As for plural, I guess I haven't made myself clear. Not all inflectional forms of Georgian nouns necessarily exist. Generally, newer terms like parabola, do not have archaic plural. Thy computer. --Dixtosa (talk) 16:44, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

I see. Should the archaic forms be removed from პარაბოლა, in that case? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:50, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Well, we can't afford correcting every single word. It does not harm too much anyways. BTW, I was going to place a note below the table in the template explaining that the archaic plural section shows how these forms would look like without giving any implications about their existence. --Dixtosa (talk) 18:30, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea. Do you care to add that note? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 22:27, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

I added a note only in {{ka-infl-noun}} (others are deprecated and will be deleted soon). --Dixtosa (talk) 19:25, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Inappropriate place for En wiki

Why is it inappropriate to link to an En wiki article about someone with the name Polanski? Somebody else did the same thing in the Freud entry, https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Freud&type=revision&diff=32462746&oldid=32401350 . --PaulBustion88 (talk) 19:55, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

First, you want to consider under which two-level header you put the template. It was out of any language-level header.

Second generally, {{wikipedia}} links to the language within which it is used.

Third, I think that template is used to link to Wikipedia when the term has one principal definition. All I mean is that it should not differentiate senses. (again, this is my guess, but prolly right).

So in this case if you really want to link to Wiki then use ==External links==

DixtosaBOT's removal of manul transliteration

Hello,

I have to ask you to reverse all removals of manual transliterations from Russian entries, like diff where a term has an irregular pronunciation. CodeCat's bot already fixed redundant transliterations and added accents (stresses) in the past and all manual transliterations are where they need to be for irregularly pronounced words. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 07:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't know. I thought it was fully automatic.

That was the only edit. DixtosaBOT is not a bot yet and I only use this from my work. --DixtosaBOT (talk) 08:22, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

But @Atitarev, isn't transliteration only about representing one set of letters with another? What does pronunciation have to do with that? We do not use two letters for Russian д (one for д that is followed by i and other otherwise), do we?. --DixtosaBOT (talk) 08:34, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

When б, в, г, д, ж, з are devoiced or о and е are reduced, it's predictable. You just need to know the Russian alphabet and the rules of the Russian phonology but the difference in pronunciation of тест and текст is completely unpredictable. This topic was discussed many times. I just don't want to go through this again. The exceptions are described here WT:RU TR. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 10:49, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

A snippet of Georgian in a Latin–Georgian–Greek glossary

Hi Dixtosa. Would you mind checking that I've transcribed the bit of Georgian in this 1967 citation correctly, please? A pertinent entry exists for მხოლოდ (mxolod, “only”), so I'm pretty confident about that word, but I'm less sure about შობილი (šobili). Also, I used a normal tilde (U+007E TILDE) for the wavy line between the two words; I don't know whether there's a more specific character I should've used instead. Thanks in advance. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 19:10, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Hey. Both of them are correct and they both exist (both separately and together).

As for the wavy line, I guess the author just meant a hyphen. --Dixtosa (talk) 12:08, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Great! Thank you. (I wonder if the use of the tilde was intentional or just a typo… *shrugs*) And thank you for creating მხოლოდშობილი (mxolodšobili); that helps to make sense of that glossary's entry. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 16:03, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Special:Diff/33345292/33514406

Actually, {{character info/new}} should not be put in templates. My goal is to move {{character info/new}} to {{character info}} and make entries use that directly. But first, existing templates need to be switched to {{character info/old}}. — Keφr 18:34, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Ah, right. What's stopping you from doing that now? --Dixtosa (talk) 19:07, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Some convex combination of: laziness, fatigue, unwillingness to conduct bureaucracy that this change will surely entail, and general disillusionment with this project. — Keφr 19:55, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm in the middle of doing something similar to what you wanted, @Kephir. I'm replacing the old character box templates by {{character info/new}} in entries. But I agree that just "character info" would be a better name for it. Thank you for having created {{character info/new}} back then in 2014, it's great! --Daniel Carrero (talk) 04:42, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Apologies

So sorry - I have just returned from leaflet distribution on the Lizard, 20 minutes ago. I believe that the asterisk may be the culprit, which I have now removed, because it no more applies. Shall avoid using that symbol in future, if it might cause problems. Removed asterisk (that relates to nothing visible), as I have found this borrowed word in Cornish. More seriously though, this may have caused the problem - very sorry about this. I could not access this talk page at first! Sorry to waste your time; but should any problem re-occur, please advise me, so that I can sort it promptly. Werdna Yrneh Yarg (talk) 21:07, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Andrew

Navbox and navbox

Hello, thanks for your edit to {{citation templates}}. Just wondering what's the difference between {{navbox}} and {{Navbox}}, though? Is it possible to merge the two? — SMUconlaw (talk) 14:39, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I do not know, Navbox just seemed closer to the same template on Wikipedia. This is why I think {{navbox}} should be deleted and, ideally, Navbox be synced up with the Wikipedia's template (which is very difficult to do due to CSS classes Wiki has and we do not). --Dixtosa (talk) 14:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hmmm, OK, thanks. — SMUconlaw (talk) 15:11, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

You can not use HotCat to remove template-generated categories. Not a deal breaker but enough for me to prefer the templateless version. Besides, it has no advantages in English entries. --Dixtosa (talk) 16:10, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Bug in "nearby.js"

If you visit green tobacco sickness, one of the nearby terms is green 'un, but the actual link points to green instead. Equinox ◑ 13:10, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Another bug with Japanese: 教育実習. It seems to work for Chinese and Korean. DTLHS (talk) 00:33, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

I see you have added the preceding words as well as the following ones. Really nice! Thank you. Equinox ◑ 19:48, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Another idea: could an empty line of text be positioned in advance, so that when the "nearby" content finishes loading, the rest of the page doesn't suddenly jump downwards? This is confusing when using the mouse. Equinox ◑ 21:50, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

I have added a loading icon that takes up one line. That's the best I can do. --Dixtosa (talk) 18:22, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Another minor bug: visit DUMBELS, and a mysterious second DUMBELS appears in the nearby line. Equinox ◑ 06:29, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Another: if you visit ossifiers, the next word should be ossifluent, but it gets omitted. Equinox ◑ 09:51, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

ossifiers is not a lemma. This only works for lemmas. --Dixtosa (talk) 17:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Another: it doesn't work for Norwegian Bokmål, e.g. ovalformet. (Perhaps an encoding issue with the å?) Equinox ◑ 13:25, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

anti-demisexual

In your user page, you said that you are "anti-demisexual". May I ask, what does it mean, exactly? Are you opposed to people who only feel sexual attraction after a strong bond has formed? --Daniel Carrero (talk) 09:06, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

No. The third sense of anti- was meant there. So you get: "Sexually attracted to people after long before any a strong emotional bond has been formed". A bad joke I guess. --Giorgi Eufshi (talk) 09:13, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Gadget-aWa.js

I pinged you in the BP, but maybe you missed it. Anyway, I'm kinda desperate, hence writing on your talk page — we really need to be able to archive the new RFV pages. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 20:31, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge Should aWa be working on old wt:rfv page? Because the buttons don't show up for me.--Dixtosa (talk) 15:56, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

No, WT:RFV is now split between WT:RFVE and WT:RFVN (which both transclude onto WT:RFV). Those individual pages should be archivable. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:30, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Failed mention

Say, would you have any idea how to create a script that detects when you make a failed mention (for example, you misspell a username, or enter a valid username in such a way that no mention will be sent), and will send a dialog alerting you to that fact? That would be a very useful feature. — Eru·tuon 19:06, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

For instance, if I added {{ping|Dixtosa}} in my previous message, there would be a failed mention; and if I typed {{ping|Ditosa}} in this message, the same thing would happen because there is no user account for that username. — Eru·tuon 19:08, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Erutuon: Why would a mention in your previous message fail?

Compare initial and final number of ping's (re's etc.) and see if there are four tildes in the final wikitext. That's how I would do it.

As for misspelled usernames one could use preview page or careful eye or as a last resort autocomplete on {{ping}}. --Dixtosa (talk) 10:23, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

I mean, the ping would have worked when I was submitting my first message, but not if I submitted my first message and added the ping when I was submitting my second message. — Eru·tuon 17:10, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Your sandbox module

We already have Module:JSON and Module:languages also has a toJSON function. —CodeCat 16:10, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Are you suggesting that I prefetch all the language related data and do processing on the client side? --Dixtosa (talk) 16:20, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes. You only have to fetch the data for a given language once that way, and you can cache it so that any further requests for that language will not need another server request. —CodeCat 16:37, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

But in order for autocomplete to work I would have to fetch the data for all languages which is slightly more expensive and may overload browser (especially on mobile). Nevertheless, I think those points are negligible and I will port the autocompletion code to load the data beforehand when I am done rewriting LanguageMetadata object. I want to make LanguageMetadata really smart (like caching on localstorage with expiration date, determining whether fetching data for all languages is necessary, etc.) so I am taking my time. --Dixtosa (talk) 17:03, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Enhancing catfix

The catfix script (in MediaWiki:Gadget-legacy.js) only applies language and class attributes to the mainspace links in the category contents part of the page. It really should also apply them to the "pagename" part of links to the Talk and Citations namespaces, and to the links in the "Recent additions" and "Oldest pages" box on the right. Otherwise, the links are quite illegible when the language is a rare one that is not recognized by browsers; for instance, the Avestan boxes are full of tofu. (I have fonts for Avestan, but my browser refuses to use them except when it's forced to by the site's CSS.) I've added an id to the box, newest-and-oldest-pages, so that you can select it, if you want to tackle this request. — Eru·tuon 05:52, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

More automatic linking in modules

I've often wished it were possible to add category links to language data modules. For instance, have canonicalName = "English" display as canonicalName = "English" (except with highlighting) – and perhaps have scripts = { "Cyrl", "Latn" } display as scripts = { "Cyrl", "Latn" }, and family = "gmw" display as family = "gmw". Similarly in the language family and script data modules. (I'm not sure if the quotes should be inside or outside the link.)

It would also be nice to have require("Module:links") and mw.loadData("Module:headword/data") display with a link: require("Module:links") and mw.loadData("Module:headword/data").

I considered doing this myself, but I was discouraged from starting by the complexity of the HTML code involved in the syntax highlighting. And I wonder if the function would take a lot of processing power because there are so many HTML nodes to go through. — Eru·tuon 21:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

As for your second idea, this is a good start I think even though it can not yet detect if the module name is being concatenated (as in here).Giorgi Eufshi (talk) 06:46, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

How about checking if it has a closing bracket in a .p element ()) after it? That would exclude any cases with concatenation. — Eru·tuon 19:24, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Gadget request

Right now, one of the things that the TabbedLanguages gadget does is to choose a default language if none was specified in the URL. Would it be possible for you to split this functionality off into a separate gadget, so that it is also available to non-TL users? If done, it should load relatively early, and certainly TL should only load once this new gadget is finished, so that it can use the new URL. —Rua (mew) 11:22, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

AjaxEdit on German and French Wiktionary

Hello Dixtosa, your script is great! I put it into my Global.js on Meta. It seems to work on many different sites however it doesn't work on German and French Wiktionary. Do you have any idea why?

Versioner in წერს

Hi. I was looking at the page წერს and it seemed to me there is something apparently wrong. In the "Georgian verb lemmata that derive from one root" template, the "With objective versioner" ('იწერს') word seems to be switched with the "With subjective versioner" ('უწერს') one. The same problem seems to exist in other verbs using that template.

I'm far from being an expert in Georgian, so I'm just letting you know. Thanks, Malafaya (talk) 13:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Translating a Book Title into Georgian

How would you translate the book title How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World into Georgian?

Translating terms from The Church of Almighty God into Georgian

How could the following terms from The Church of Almighty God, a Christian new religious movement, be translated into Georgian?

全能神教會 (Quánnéng Shén Jiàohuì) ― The Church of Almighty God ― Maybe ყოვლისშემძლე ღმერთის ეკლესია (q̇ovlisšemʒle ɣmertis eḳlesia)?

東方閃電 (Dōngfāng Shǎndiàn) ― Eastern Lightning (as The CAG is also known)

全能神 (Quánnéng Shén) ― Almighty God

話在肉身顯現 (Huà zài ròushēn xiǎnxiàn) ― The Word Appears in the Flesh

律法時代 (Lǜfǎ Shídài) ― The Age of Law (i.e. the time of the Old Testament)

恩典時代 (Ēndiǎn Shídài) ― The Age of Grace (i.e. from the Advent of Jesus Christ to Almighty God's appearance in China)

救贖時代 (Jiùshú Shídài) ― The Age of Redemption (A synonym for The Age of Grace)

國度時代 (Guódù Shídài) ― The Age of Kingdom (i.e. the current age that started with Almighty God's appearance in China in 1991)

話語時代 (Huàyǔ Shídài) ― The Age of Word (as in the Word of God; both the Age of Kingdom and the Age of Millennial Kingdom are called the Age of Word, although they're not to be confused with each other)

千年國度時代 (Qiānnián Guódù Shídài) ― The Age of Millennial Kingdom

大紅龍 (Dà Hóng Lóng) ― The Great Red Dragon (CAG theology identifies the Great Red Dragon with the Chinese Communist Party)

Verb Conjugations

Hello. I just looked at the verb conjugation, well used the template or tried at least on ფლავს. Well the thing is, when we conjugate it in past tense, it actually takes an infix or well expansion to the root, stemming from old/middle Georgian. აწმყო: მე ვ-ფლ-ავ შენ ფლ-ავ ის ფლ-ავ-ს

ნამყო: მე (ჩა/და)-ვ-ფალ-(ი) შენ (ჩა/და)-ფალ-(ი) მან (ჩა/და)-ფლ-ა

This probably happened because of ი being unnecessary. Adding it became a new change to Georgian and is used a lot honestly but template doesn't know that. These kinds of things happen mainly in verbs who have construction (C)CC-Them where when thematic suffix is deleted the root is per se გავრცობილი. But I don't know how to code so.... yeah... Can this problem somehow be fixed? Thanks in advance :D — This unsigned comment was added by Solarkoid (talk • contribs) at 15:10, 29 July 2020.

ზმნების ფორმებზე

მოკლედ. შევხედე რუსული ზმნების წყობას ვიკილექსიკონში. თითოეულ ფორმას მისი გვერდი აქვს ჩვეულებრივი ინდიკაციით. რუსული სუბიექტ-ორიენტირებული ენაა, ანუ ის მხოლოდ სუბიექტის პირობაზე აბრუნებს ზმნას. ეს ქართულისათვის არ გამოდგება. ჩემი იდეა რაში მდგომარეობს: მე მინდა, რომ ჩვეულებრივად, ქართულისათვის ექსკლუზიური სისტემა შემოვიღოთ როგორც სკოლებში გვასწავლიან. მაგალითად: ვჭამ, რას ვშვრები?. პირველი სერიის აწმყოს წრის პირველი სუბიექტური, მესამე ობიექტური ზმნის ფორმა.

In English, to make it simpler. I want it to look something like this

"S^1s O_D^3s Present active indicative of ჭამს"
^ - superscripted
_ - subscripted
S (capital) - Subject
O (cap.) - Object
D (cap.) - Direct (Obj) with 'I' being indirect.
s (sm.) - singular
p (sm.) - plural
1 - 1st person
2 - 2nd person
3 - 3rd person

we could also delete D and I for direct and indirect and always have in order Subj - (Dir. obj) - (Indir. obj)

Please tell me what you think about this — This unsigned comment was added by Solarkoid (talk • contribs).

About ცა (sense 2)

Now you see it doesn't have a case marker, but it is definitely vocative or the use of it anyway. Definitely comes from ცავ (<- ციცავ). As an Adjarian, I can safely tell you that no case marker or postposition can be added to it, thus I chose noun form instead of noun. I dunno where else to write this so I wrote it here.

Conjugation table for class 1 verbs.

Hi again!
So... I made a conjugation table for class 1 verbs today. It should work with every verb, that has all screeves present. I don't know how to improve things but thought you might. I also want to ask you that you review it when you have time :D. here is the link https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:ka-conj-table-c1/documentation
Thank you in advance! Solarkoid (talk) 06:31, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi. What are class 1 verbs? What scientific material are you basing 9n your template? Why do you say it should work for every verb if it is only for one class of verbs? Dixtosa (talk) 12:50, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Class 1 verbs are class 1 conjugation verbs, or Active/Transitive verbs per se. I am using "თანამედროვე ქართული ენის მორფოლოგია" by გ. გოგოლაშვილი and "ქართული ენა" by გ. აფხაზავა; Mostly using their rules and etc for simplifying things. I said it should work for every verb BELONGING to that class (or that's what I meant at least) not including irregulars yet like ხედავს. I think, that it would be easier to work with 1 template which works with a great quantity of class 1 verbs instead of for example 1 template for a lot of verbs but another lot of verbs get left behind. This template keeps root changing in mind. It can be more efficient however but I do not know Wiktionary's code well enough to make it better as of now. -Solarkoid (talk) 13:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

How many classes do you think we would have? On what page can I read about the classification exactly ( i.e. How to tell class 1 from others?

I have mixed feelings about your approach on the one hand it is cool to have a detailed morphological info on every verb on the other hand though it is impossible for normal native speaker to add conjugation tables.

I have obtained a desktop app (forgot where from) that provides various features on Georgian words including verb conjugation. And I know for sure it uses many classes approach as opposed to describing many morphological parts of the verbs. So knowing that that works I am leaning more towards on many classes/less verbose template usage.Dixtosa (talk) 16:45, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Can you tell what desktop app are you talking about? Gradilion (talk) 02:13, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

About -იან-

Should it be deleted? Like it's useless and it's weird. Messing up suffixusex template also if I don't use altsuffix function... Plus we've got -იანი we could use that like any other suffix (i.e. -ური). What do you think?

Probably yes, I am not too sure. It'd be best if we learned how other agglutinative languages dealt with these sort of infix-ish suffixes.

it is not totally useless as it reinforces the idea that Georgian is an agglutinative language and -იან- can be followed some other morpheme. Dixtosa (talk) 16:57, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Consonantal root verb 3ps aorist

Hi, I used your verb conjugation template from the verb მიიღებს for the page დაიწყებს that I just created, I noticed that the template creates the table so that the third person singular comes out with -ა, but for consonantal root verbs shouldn't the ending be -ო? Right now it gives მიიღა and დაიწყა instead of მიიღო and დაიწყო. Thanks! 2WR1 (talk) 00:53, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

@2WR1 yea I fixed that for now with my messy template. -ო has weird uses. 1st person aorist marker must be -ე and root mustn't contain a vowel is pretty strict and hard to automate, but even that strict rule has exceptions so... It'd be hard to automate it. Plus I don't think Dixtosas template deals with root-shifting verbs ვგრეხ - ვგრიხე, so temporarily I'll be using my template for conjugations and if you're down to research, you could too. Works for active verbs only though. -Solarkoid (talk) 19:30, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

@Solarkoid Thanks! I'd love to help add conjugation tables to verb pages, only thing is I'm really only familiar with the present and future subseries of 1st and 2nd conjugation verbs, I could just concentrate on those as long as the perfective subseries is regular (I should be learning it soon anyway). Is there somewhere that explains the template I can see? Thanks 2WR1 (talk) 20:52, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

@2WR1:, yep https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:ka-conjugation-c1/documentation I got the things documented. 3rd series for class 1 verbs (i.e. transitive verbs) is pretty regular if we don't consider the vowel choices sometimes. My template, as mentioned, is a bit messy, but it allows for flexibility in some small irregular cases. -Solarkoid (talk) 05:24, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

@Solarkoid: Looks good, thanks! One question, for verbs like ნახავს where in the template do I mark the new form for the present subseries ხედავს? 2WR1 (talk) 05:29, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

@2WR1: uhm about that. That's an irregular verb changing its root from 1st series, my conjugation template doesn't have it covered. Roots: Present sub: ხედ-ავ-; Future sub: და-ი-ნახ-ავ; 2nd ser.: და-ი-ნახ; 3rd ser.: და-ი/ე-ნახ-(ავ) So I'm passing on it now and not adding the conjugation table. -Solarkoid (talk) 05:36, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

@Solarkoid: Oh, alright, I have no idea how hard it is to build these things, so don't worry. Let me know when it's incorporated though! Thanks 2WR1 (talk) 05:39, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

On transcribing ჱ

Isn't transcribing ჱ as ē kind of misleading to people trying to read the word? Georgian from the fifth century already doesn't have the long e which ē denotes (though we do have some "fossilized" ones აღაშჱნებს /ა.'ღა.შე.ნებს/). After fifth century, ჱ denoted the sound /ey/. That is why there are parallel forms like სიძჱ (siʒē)|| სიძეჲ (siʒey), so my proposal would be to get rid of the long e (ē) and instead sub it with 'ey'. There is one problem with this for words, which were written incorrectly: "ჲესეს სული ქრისტჱ მოიჴსენე" which should be "ჲ/იესეს სული ქრისტე მოიჴსენე", in which case it's not read as /ey/ but as /e/, though my proposal still stands, since these are just errors made until Ilia reformed the Georgian alphabet.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

AjaxEdit for Wikipedia

Is there a way to use AjaxEdit for Wikipedia? I’ve tried to do so by adding the code into User:Leejordan9/AjaxEdit.js (on Wikipedia), but it doesn’t seem to affect my view of the page in any way. How do I activate the gadget? Lᴇᴇᴊᴏʀᴅᴀɴ9 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 01:17, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Gratitude

Hello, I want to thank you for your work on Georgian lexicon. I'm currently learning Georgian, and your templates and articles are like a breath of fresh air. Too little info on Georgian on the Internet compared to other languages and in Wiktionary in particular (especially on verbs conjugation). Gradilion (talk) 02:12, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Mistake?

Hello, is this the correct definition that you gave? ცოტაოდენი "any, briskly, live, vivace, vivaciously". I don't see it in other dictionaries; only ცოცხალი looks like this... Gradilion (talk) 11:37, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

You are right. Fixed it. Dixtosa (talk) 04:34, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Gadget-Editor.js / z-index

I'm concerned by MediaWiki:Gadget-Editor.js. I think the z-index of the editor's floating box should be increased as it currently gets overlaid by main header, specifically by header.vector-header.mw-header element, which has z-index: 200, which comes from

/* https://en.wiktionary.org/w/load.php?debug=1&lang=en&modules=skins.vector.styles&only=styles&skin=vector-2022 */
.vector-feature-zebra-design-disabled .mw-header {
  position: relative;
  z-index: 200;
}

Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS

Dear interface administrator,

This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.

There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.

As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.

Have a great day!

Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
