Talk:om jouwentwil

@Mnemosientje: The formatting is a bit weird. Did you mean to use informal as a label? PUC13:19, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I wasn't really sure how to represent this. Both om jouwentwil and om uwentwil are now formal or archaic, but jouw is the informal equivalent of uw, which I tried to represent through this little tag in the definition (instead of preceding it, which would imply that the whole collocation is informal). I think I'm just gonna remove it tho, and just mark them all as archaic with a general tag. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 13:22, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Mnemosientje: Maybe in a usage note? PUC13:28, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps, but to be honest I am not sure whether jouw/uw were informal/formal the way they are now when these phrases were coined, which I figure must be at least as far back as the 17th century (I think, but am not sure, they're in the Statenbijbel). — Mnemosientje (t · c) 13:31, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
