I've been cleaning up some of your entries. For one thing, every entry has to have a headword template- you've added them sometimes, but not always. Also, you need to be more careful about the part of speech: I don't think bayrus is an interjection. Interjections are things you say by themselves to express something, like "hoy" or "magandang umaga", or "mabuti". Would you go up to someone and say "bayrus!"? Take a look through Category:Tagalog lemmas to get a better idea of which parts of speech are in use for Tagalog. Also, look at our About Tagalog page to learn about the standards used by our Tagalog editors.

For more information about Wiktionary in general I'll give you our welcome template, which has lots of useful links:

Welcome

edit

Hello, 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 (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
  • You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Enjoy your stay at Wiktionary! Chuck Entz (talk) 01:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Diacritics

edit

@Traytraycoco Please fix the diacritics in your entries before publishing them. Thank you. 𝄽 ysrael214 (talk) 11:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Traytraycoco Again. Please fix your diacritics. Thank you. 𝄽 ysrael214 (talk) 11:25, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Country names

edit

@Traytraycoco Can you reason out why should these be accepted in Tagalog? Are you saying that by following the same logic "France" and "Germany" are Tagalog just because they're used in code-switching in a country where English is also a primary language despite having "Pransiya" and "Alemanya"? If you go out right now and ask people if they're Tagalog, would they agree, like with Denmark when we have "Dinamarka"? Thanks. 𝄽 ysrael214 (talk) 05:40, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
