Catalan verb morphology: other dialects

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua

Right, anything but that mess... that's more or less why I proposed tables for each dialect.

Depending on how we do things, I don't think having a table for each dialect group would be too much. Though, I think we might need to have multiple tables for a single dialect group for some verbs (such as llegir), and if we need to do that for multiple dialect groups, then things will likely get out of hand very easily...

But indeed, let's take care of Valencian before considering the other groups. I'll work on some tables in userspace and show you the results when I'm done.

How does that sound?

Keep in mind that the current tables are mostly Lua based. So you should probably copy Module:ca-verb to your userspace. Then you can modify it to show AVL forms instead of IEC forms. Once that's done, I can see if I can merge your table into the existing module.

Right.

I was just gonna manually fill in some tables, but I guess that's a better idea.

I manually created a theoretical maximal table so that I'll have a reference when I get to tinkering with the module; please tell me what you think of it: User:Espreon/llegir-valencian-test.

Do you think I should separate the -r and the -s imperfect subjunctives like that, as is done with their Spanish equivalents on this site, or do you think I should collapse them into a single row? For ser, at least, the -r forms can also act as conditionals, so maybe it would be best to have them separated.

I'm not sure. My hope was that we could simply reuse the existing table, and only change the forms that go in it.

CodeCat22:59, 8 August 2015

Well, can't we just use conditionals to manipulate what gets "printed"?

Espreon (talk)23:02, 8 August 2015

Yes, we can. It's just not as neat that way.

CodeCat23:04, 8 August 2015

Hmm, all right, I'll see what I can do. I don't imagine it would be too atrocious, but truth be told, it's been quite a while since I've tinkered with Lua, so who knows?

Regardless, though, this is still something I myself would like to attempt.
