[03:10] <Freso> CallerNo6: "jag ka ha", kanske?

was that for me?

and it's "jg" and "ka" isn't "can" but "what" in trøndersk

[03:12] <reosarevok> "status: pining for the fjords"

*pinging

:D

jeg ikke jag

jag is "hunt" or stress, like "hun hadde et jag etter karriere" "she had(was on a) hunt for a career"

CatQuest: I know it isn't the same words; I was intentionally messing up the spelling for pronounciation purposes.

hmn, but I, can and has are all spelled right?

it's the grammar that's wonky

*haz

It's "I can haz".

Well, at least in some instances, apparently. :)

it doesn't really work with norsk though, since every alteration pretty much means something. "haz" isn't a misspelling it's a pronounciation exagration

:)

yea. i remembered it has "has" :)

kan → ka' is also just pronounciation difference.

Yeah, looking it up, it seems like "has" is more prevalent.

hmnn in danish

"ka'" is not a word in Danish. It's "kan".

ka is. something else

heh

exactly, "ka" *is* a word in norwegian, in danish it doesn't register as a word difference

jeg ka ha is like "i what have?

sounds too much like ka da which is a regular expression

hmm

"jæ kan ha" maybe

but it depends. it'd be "jei" for others

phonetic spelling in norwegian is a interesting but not easy :D

-a

You're doing good work, drsaunde!

Indeed.

chirlu` CallerNo6: turns out the classical style guide covers what we were talking about the other day https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Classical/Wo...

Ah yes. Doesn’t change that I disagree with it, though.

:)

johtso: That seems like a daft guideline indeed. I don't think reosarevok would mind scrapping that.

Ah good, if I need to relate a recording to the english version of something, seems bonkers not to create a work for it

Yep.

Make a STYLE ticket for it?

sure

And ping reosarevok with it. I doubt this is one that he will want everybody's input on. :)

Heh. That was one of those "I disagree with this but this discussion has gone on for too long" situations

I'd be happy to change it indeed

👍 for that

it seems contrary to most practices we have. we use [unknown] for composition ars ffs!

reosarevok: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/STYLE-575

I'm still impressed by this picture http://ndla.no/sites/default/files/images/Bakte...

is there a style guide that says how to correctly name these kinds of works? https://beta.musicbrainz.org/work/0ff01b4a-081e... https://beta.musicbrainz.org/work/6aa997b6-e248...

there seems to be some variation

both whether the "anhang" number is included, and whether the title is in double quotes

feeling totally out of my depth with this classical stuff..

johtso: no, there's not. If they're recognisable, that works

good stuff

And I mean, I understand the main idea of that guideline, really - it's "we don't create specific works for one-off arrangements so we don't either for unclear translations"

But it just really doesn't work with lyrics language being a work-level attribute

reosarevok: here's an example of a one-off arrangement I just had to make https://beta.musicbrainz.org/recording/d17820c8...

Yeah, for something that different I think it makes sense

(if it's different enough, you might want based on rather than arrangement)

Do I recall that there was a problem with emails being sent out without votes being recorded? Or was it without the *comments* even being recorded in the db?

emails being sent without comments being recorded

I'm not sure, but votes might not be recorded either

got it.
