Template talk:th-personal pronouns
Latest comment: 1 year ago by YURi
@Octahedron80, Alifshinobi: Hi. Could you please review? My original version may not have been perfect but something is broken now. What happened to the plurality? The template seems currently unusable or hard to read. Edited by User:SarahFatimaK. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:05, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Atitarev: What is the goal of this template? If the goal is to create a template with basic pronouns, then this template is good or good enough. If the goal is to create a template with all pronouns used in present-day Thailand, then that might be a challenge. You would need to create different rows or columns for different registers to include pronouns like เกล้ากระผม, อาตมา, โยม, เค้า ("I/me" or "he/she/they") etc. As for plurality, it might be informative to show the difference between inclusive "we" (e.g., พวกเรา) and exclusive "we" (e.g., พวกผม). --A.S.

- @Alifshinobi: Basic pronouns is usually good enough, especially in a language with a large number of pronouns, e.g.
{{Japanese first-person pronouns}}only has statistics on the 1st person pronoun usage but it would be possible to have a table with basic/most common ones. It's a challenge to find a balance.{{nl-decl-personal pronouns}}is a relatively complex one to look at. It's up to you. If it's too hard or you find it useless, it can be RFD'ed. --Anatoli T.

- I reverted the template to the version last edited by @Atitarev, because:
- the newly added information is quite incorrect (including the part that says "ฉัน" and "เธอ" are respectively used by men and women, but, in fact, they are used by & for anyone, regardless of the sex); and
- it contains a number of pronouns that are no longer in everyday use (including "หล่อน", "ข้า", "เอ็ง", etc), but the purpose of this template (as stated above) is to only contain basic or commonly used pronouns.
