Wiktionary:Foreign word of the day/Nominations

Shortcuts:
WT:FW
WT:FWOTDN

This project handles the daily foreign language word posted on the main page. It mimics the English Word of the Day. Nominations may be in any language other than English.

Here’s a checklist for nominations:

Is it foreign? For nomination of English words, see Word of the Day.
Is it interesting? When non-obvious, please briefly state why you think the word you are nominating is a good candidate for FWOTD.
Is it non-offensive? Don’t nominate if it would be embarrassing to have someone’s boss or grandmother overhear.
It hasn’t been lauded elsewhere recently, right? We want Wiktionary to be original, not a copycat.
Do we have an entry for it? An entry needs to be created first, or you could request it.

Before a nominated word is featured, it needs to meet certain requirements:

Words in well-documented languages need to have at least one CFI-compliant quotation and a pronunciation section with an audio file or IPA transcription.
Words in ancient, barely attested languages need to have at least one quotation or reference.
Words in other languages need to meet either of the following criteria:
1. A pronunciation section with audio or IPA, and either a reference from an appropriate resource or a quotation.
2. Two independent quotations/references.
Words in constructed languages should be in the mainspace and not in an appendix.^[1]
Terms currently in RFC, RFV, or RFD whose problems have not been resolved by those discussions will not be accepted.
Entries may be required to have images of their headword available on Commons if the script they are in is not widely supported (e.g., Egyptian or Phoenician).

Ideal candidates include entries that are fairly complete, having a considerable amount of information, or words with unusual meanings, for instance:

A word for an item or idea with which most English speakers are unfamiliar.
A false friend, a word that an English speaker would assume to have a different meaning.
A word with a couple of well-known definitions that have very different English translations.
A word whose primary definition incorporates a range of somewhat varied concepts in English.
An idiom or unusual expression, or anything else you think might be interesting.

Focus weeks

Every so often, focus weeks are held in the Foreign Word of the Day. During focus weeks, we choose words or phrases with a certain theme, highlight languages with some special features, or show words that have particularly interesting or unusual properties. Proposals for focus weeks can be found at Wiktionary:Foreign word of the day/Focus weeks.

@Vahagn Petrosyan: As those cites aren't independent, I think we'd count them as one. Could you add IPA? (Also, it would be preferable to feature this word in a script that people actually use for the language nowadays... unless it isn't attestable in any other script.) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 07:20, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Metaknowledge I am not familiar enough with Kurdish phonology to add the IPA. The word is attested in the Armenian script in the translations of the New Testament into Kurdish made by Armenians from the Armenian New Testament. See here. The translators simply transliterated the names of the objects for which the Kurds had no word. I doubt it is attested in a non-Armenian script. --Vahag (talk) 09:18, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

February

11 (National Foundation Day (Japan)): Japanese: 頑張って (no citations, no translation, pronunciation), the word encapsulating Japanese mentality most in my view. Korn [kʰũːɘ̃n] (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's a good word, but it has nothing to do with National Foundation Day, nor do I think it's up to us to encapsulate what "Japanese mentality" is, so I'd rather we feature it as a regular FWOTD. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 20:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
13 (or any other day that isn’t Valentine I guess)
- Vietnamese: Va linh tinh (multiple citations, quote translated, pronunciation) MuDavid 栘𩿠 (talk) 02:51, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - This would in fact be excellent for February 14th itself. All the internet is loaded with saccharine on that day, so a humorous note of sorts would not be out of place. Steinbach (talk) 10:04, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It could be featured on another day as well, since Valentine's Day is not traditionally celebrated in Zealand (or anywhere else on the European continent).

25 (Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day) Telugu: హాట్ కేకు (citation, quote translated, pronunciation) I think the semantic shift is pretty interesting, and when was the last time a Telugu word was featured on the main page? MSG17 (talk) 23:55, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
26/27 Japanese: ゲット (no citations, no translation, pronunciation). Should the right-side say "International Pokémon Day" or just "Pokémon Day"? News articles sometimes use the former with a small "i". ～ POKéTalker （＝◉＝） 01:53, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@פֿינצטערניש: Apart from being Loshen Koydesh, the word seems rather unremarkable. What do you think of המן־טאַשן (hmn-tashn) instead? ~~←₰-→~~ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 20:27, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lingo Bingo Dingo: The latter seems much more unremarkable to me, whereas soyne-yisroel conveys a meaning of "yisroel" that is often forgotten today, but at any rate it would need a quote. I can try to get one. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 13:52, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@פֿינצטערניש For the purpose of FWOTD, remarkableness/interestingness runs more or less the other way round. An interesting concept or unusual derivation is more featureable than an oft-forgotten meaning. ~~←₰-→~~ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 19:27, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April

1 Afrikaans: Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein (no citations, no translation, pronunciation) isn't bad. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 01:34, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Or Dutch: paashaasschaamhaarverzamelaar (citation, quote translated, pronunciation) when April Fool's Day and Easter coincide (the earliest year when that happens is 2029). ~~←₰-→~~ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 12:07, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yiddish: קייסעך (citation, quote translated, pronunciation) because it's silly and vaguely relevant to the season פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 00:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@פֿינצטערניש, alternatively I could set it for 1 April 2029 (also Easter in the Gregorian calendar) if you add a quote and a pronunciation. Unlike the Dutch word above, it's not vulgar. ~~←₰-→~~ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 09:08, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Great idea, @Lingo Bingo Dingo. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 14:58, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
