Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Inherited vs borrowed

Hi, you seem to be quite good at this already, but I'm wondering if the phrases you've added in Louisiana Creole (like komen ça va) aren't, in fact, inherited from French ({{inh}}) rather than borrowed ({{bor}}). Also, you don't seem to be consistent in your IPA at komen lê zafær: it can be either /koˈmɑ̃ le zaˈfæɾ/ or /ko.mɑ̃ le za.fæɾ/ (if stress is always the same, as in French), but the combination of the two is just weird. Happy editing! Thadh (talk) 23:51, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

@Thadh: Hello! This is the first time that I'm using a talk page, so I hope I'm using it right. As you can imagine, I borrow a lot of templates, so I was not aware of the inherit/borrow difference till now. I don't really follow you regarding the <<komen>> stressing (as in, I'm not sure where I used /koˈmɑ̃/), so I'll trust your judgement. For the moment, I'm assuming the language is unstressed (so /ko.mɑ̃/), but I'm trying to verify that to be sure. And thank you for the help! Almost forgot the signature.

Thanks!

I appreciate this edit you made: https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?diff=65550555&oldid=63749229&title=vouz%C3%B2t

I had noticed what I took to be that error about a month ago, and made a little to-do to come back and fix it. But when I arrived, you had already made the fix. 24.212.191.236 17:15, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
