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 documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. 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.
• The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
• A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
• If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Wiktionary:Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~~~~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Again, welcome! Wyang (talk) 23:35, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your work adding definitions to characters! It's almost embarrassing how Wiktionary is over ten years old but doesn't have definitions for basic characters. —suzukaze (t・c) 08:55, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

yīshēng

Why this edit? 一生 is pronounced yīshēng, same as 一聲 and 醫生. ---> Tooironic (talk) 11:15, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

@Tooironic:But 一生 is pronounced yìshēng according to tone sandhi, hence not a homophone of 一聲 and 醫生.Mteechan (talk) 13:29, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

But on Wiktionary our pinyin is always pre-tone-sandhi. ---> Tooironic (talk) 01:46, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

@Wyang, Atitarev can anyone help with this? ---> Tooironic (talk) 06:27, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

@Tooironic It was my fault when automatically updating the homophones page. Although all of these words have the Pinyin of yīshēng, 一生 is not homophonous with the rest, so shouldn't be listed in the same series. Listing all of them in yīshēng would be okay though. Wyang (talk) 06:29, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

OK, thank you for clearing that up. ---> Tooironic (talk) 06:45, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

不好

Could you please explain your edit here? What does "wu" mean? Do you mean 吳語? ---> Tooironic (talk) 00:37, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

(it reminds me of Cantonese 唔好 (m⁴ hou²). —suzukaze (t・c) 00:45, 6 December 2017 (UTC))

I mean Wu regional Putonghua, but don't know what tag should I use. Mteechan (talk) 19:33, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

「Wenzhou」的定義

Mteechan兄，您好，謝謝您對溫州話的貢獻！希望您明白「溫州」的定義是狹義的「溫州話」，就是溫州市區說的方言。如果我沒記錯，您應該是說瑞安話的，雖然瑞安話跟市區的溫州話的差別不大，用詞上可能會有所不同。您說「肉精」「更古」，這不等於在溫州市區會這樣說，在瑞安是常用的說法嗎？還有你說「洗牙」在「南部」比較常用，這是指瑞安話嗎？如果您會繼續增加瑞安話的詞彙，我們在 module 裡增加一欄瑞安話，好嗎？ — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 14:03, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

@Justinrleung 很多詞語溫州市區以前用的，現在都被代謝掉了。我剛問了一圈人，「肉精」的說法其他地方的確沒聽過。但這個詞的構詞很符合溫州的百越底層的定語後置結構，比如「菜鹹」，所以可能是我用詞比較老。「洗牙」鄉下比較常見，還有的地方說「洗牙齒」。城區說「刷牙」更多，「洗牙」也有但比較少。Mteechan (talk) 15:44, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

感謝您迅速的回覆！有些詞當然有可能會代謝掉，可是如果沒有實質的證據，我想要小心謹慎一點。最好當然就是把瑞安話分出來（就像長樂話、馬祖話等從福州話給分出來），可是如果您覺得不用分，可以歸入溫州話，也可以把郊區較常說的詞標籤為 suburbs，在 module 裡可以寫作 { "精肉", "肉精:suburbs" }。 — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 17:24, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

你好，歡迎您回來。想告訴您，我們現在已經支援瑞安這個方言點，您可以在 module 裏使用 ["Rui'an"] 代表瑞安的詞彙。 — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 22:51, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
