Welcome edit

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.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary!

Please read our Entry layout page. Judging by your edits to tay, you seem to be unaware of basic requirements like headword templates and placing the English section first (this is English Wiktionary, after all). I also (partially) cleaned up your quotes and usage examples there, and there may very wel be more that I missed. Chuck Entz (talk) 23:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Azerbaijani pronunciations edit

What is your source for this diff? Allahverdi Verdizade a.k.a. Verdi (talk) 11:51, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

i have had classmates and friends from those places and noticed differences in pronunciation. and generally in iran, börk is the common name for hat while it is papaq in azerbaijan republic. although recently newer generations in iran tend to slowly replace börk with persian کلاه.

Btw, where are you from?, are you an expatriate Turkmenistani or someone from the Turkmen minority in Iran? Rodrigo5260 (talk) 19:55, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I was thinking specifically about the pronunciation. You are welcome to add more pronunciations for varieties in Azerbaijan you come in contact with. Allahverdi Verdizade a.k.a. Verdi (talk) 07:01, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Afghan Uzbek edit

The base lemma in Uzbek must be in Latin script, no matter if it's Afghan Uzbek (which is mostly written in Arabic script), the Arabic spelling should be given as an alternative form (like the Cyrillic spellings). Rodrigo5260 (talk) 19:46, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
