Translations of past tense[edit]

I think the translations of the past tense are setting a bad precedent here, with reams of verbs in the imperfect and past historic. My feeling is that these translations belong in the foreign-language dictionaries, linked as follows:

English[edit]

saw

  1. past tense of see

...

English[edit]

see

Translations[edit]

...

voir

French[edit]

Conjugation[edit]

The above are three different entries in Wiktionary. I agree mostly. Although the problem is mostly for past tenses. Past participles do translate ok/unambiguously most of the time.Polyglot 10:44, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

@神樂坂秀吉 Do you have a source for this? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 20:08, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Justinrleung I have seen it on the Vahcuengh Wikipedia. Sorry, no sources found…;) I looked up "saw" on 《古壮字字典》(a sawndip dictionary), and found that "書" is not on the dictionary.--神樂坂秀吉 (talk) 01:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@神樂坂秀吉: I checked 方块壮字数据库 and it seems like 书 is used, but I can't be sure if it's only the simplified form 书 that is used. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 01:49, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RFV discussion: October 2022–February 2023[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Seems to be a respelling of suh as in "suh, dude" (as in "[what']s u[p], dude") but a Google search only turns up puns and Urban Dictionary. Wiktionary doesn't have this meaning of suh. John Womble (talk) 07:44, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
