Zhangzhou Hokkien
edit@Justinrleung How do you specify that in this entry, the definition of burning paper money for the dead in Min Nan is only in Zhangzhou Hokkien and not the other dialects? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 09:34, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Mar vin kaiser: I'm not quite sure, but I feel like we don't usually specify dialects if it's used in Standard Chinese as well. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 17:04, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Justinrleung: No, I mean since the first definition applies to all dialects of Min Nan "sio-chóa", but for the second definition applies only to Zhangzhou Hokkien. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 08:15, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Mar vin kaiser: I got you the first time. The second definition is also applicable to Standard Chinese. See this. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 08:27, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Justinrleung: Yeah, I got that it's also used in Standard Chinese. I mean, is there no way to indicate, for example, that it's not used that way in Quanzhou Hokkien, Xiamen Hokkien, etc.? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 08:30, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Mar vin kaiser: As I said before, I'm not sure if there's a good way to indicate this. @Suzukaze-c, Dokurrat, any thoughts? — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 08:34, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Justinrleung, Mar vin kaiser: How about {{lb|zh|Mandarin|Zhangzhou|_|Hokkien}} [[paper money]] [[burn]]t as [[offering]] for the [[dead]]? Dokurrat (talk) 09:21, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Dokurrat: That's really limiting the scope when it could probably be used in many other varieties. That's why I'm not sure about labelling it as anything. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 23:59, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- I was thinking the same thing as Dokurrat. Perhaps it could be a usage note instead, or a zh-dial list could be made. —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 02:31, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Suzukaze-c: Thanks for the suggestions. I've considered all these things, but I'm not sure what's best to do. It's kind of difficult to make a zh-dial list for complicated things like this. Perhaps we can have a usage note, or maybe
{{lb|zh|chiefly|Mandarin|Zhangzhou|_|Hokkien}}
