Welcome
editHello, 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 (

Examples
editPlease add exampoles using the formatting here. The templates categorize the pages and also makes it easier if there are bot changes. Vininn126 (talk) 18:09, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
New Czech entries
editHi, it's great that you are adding new Czech words from the WT:RE:cs list, but some of your entries are sometimes slightly misleading due to their brevity or "lack of feel" (no offense intended). If you could add this template to your entries and potentially do a cross-check, I think it would help a lot. Also, I suggest cross-checking your translations on slovnik.cz and slovnik.seznam.cz. Thank you for your interest in the Czech language, as a native, I really appreciate it. CaptainPermaban (talk) 14:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Old Czech
editHello, thank you for your contributions. Please use {zlw-ocs-noun} instead of {head|zlw-ocs|noun}. Thank you. Zhnka (talk) 20:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Zhnka, thanks in advance for all your corrections & contributions. Are you systematically building Old Czech lemmas? As for etymology, I mostly turned to Machek. Do we have lit. for first attestations? Also, feel free to contact me by mail. Chihunglu83 (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Module errors
editPlease stop leaving entries with module errors. If you can't get the declension template to work, leave the declension section out, or use {{rfinfl}}
instead of the declension template. You should always preview your new entries and fix any serious problems before you publish/save them, or at least view them immediately afterwards and fix them right away. Going on to create 25 more new entries while there's still a module error calls into question whether you even care about getting things right. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Surnames in Estonian
editPlease don't create tons of entries with wrong pronunciations in a language you don't know Auringonlasku (talk) 11:12, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Animacy in Slovak
editDon't forget to add the animacy of masculine nouns F. V. Lorenz (talk) 18:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
The stress is wrong and how can you be sure it is a direct borrowing from French? Anatolijs LTV (talk) 17:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- The stress is automatically transcribed so when the word is of foreign origin, yes, in this case, it was wrong to be in the first syllable, feel free to change it. Since we do not have an etymological dictionary yet, I guess it's better to put the ultimate origin, it might be a recent loan from English rather than French, but this is really a minor issue since English borrowed it from Old French. Chihunglu83 (talk) 17:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Since you think it's better to put at least the final origin, you should put something like "Ultimately from ((der|mk|fr|vagabond))", saying that it is directly borrowed emphasizes that the etymology is correct or finalized. Anatolijs LTV (talk) 18:44, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
My apology
editHello Chihunglu83, I would like to apologize for what I said to you when I was editing Pilnáček, I was very nervous for personal reasons and I called you "čínštinanegr", which is Czech slang for chigga, I feel bad for saying that to you, maybe you didn't see it because my page edit history was deleted, but I hope you can forgive me and we can be good companions on this website. F. V. Lorenz (talk) 03:37, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- @F. V. Lorenz Hi, I did see that. I accept your apology. To be honest, I don't care and I am not here for that. We still have a lot to do for Czech entries, so let's keep going on to make quality stuff 🔥 Chihunglu83 (talk) 06:59, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Chihunglu83, the reference that you have provided for Proto-Slavic *ratь is not for a different form of *ortь (“war”) (from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er-). It is an unrelated term, apparently meaning "hoof", perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erh₃- (“to plough”). Which of the two do you mean? 2A02:C7C:3848:1700:F8C5:F46D:DF87:C6B6 14:07, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I guess you read some literature about it. According to ESSJa dictionary *ortь (“war”) and *ratь(hoof) may not be a synonym, but some scholars had doubts about it. ESSJ said that Franz Miklosich
- cited ratъ as bellum(influenced by his South-Slavic background), Czech scholar Gebauer also used ratъ for war. As for *ratь meaning hoof, unfortunately I am in the process of verification. Since I don't have Kalál or other Moravian dialectal dictionaries with me right now. And maybe yes, probably using *ortь 1 and '*ortь2 might be better in the lemmas. I will definitely add more info in a moment :) Chihunglu83 (talk) 14:22, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Old Church Slavonic рать (ratĭ) and Czech rať are the expected reflexes of Proto-Slavic *ortь, though. They don't require alternative *ratь (the metathesis *or- > *ra- in Czechoslovak and South Slavic is self-understood). 2A02:C7C:3848:1700:F8C5:F46D:DF87:C6B6 18:43, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
