Diskussjoni kategorija:Maltin skont ix-xogħol tagħhom

Hi,

Shouldn’t this be called 'Maltin skond is snajja tagħhom'

taħseb snajja fis-sens tal-kapaċi tagħhom, minflok kif jġorru flus biss? S^rl | lblb 17:04, 29 Mej 2005 (UTC)

As far as I know 'snajja' is the plural of 'sengħa' = trade .. which is what you mean by 'kapaċi[tà]' (kapaċi = able kapaċità = ability) so there goes anotherone for an A->N paradigm set :)).

Kif iġorru il-flus?? you mean kif jaqilgħu il-flus taqla = to earn; jaqilgħu = they earn.

We should ask MaltaGirl what she thinks. I'm leaving you a more general message on the subject in your talk.--Joelemaltais 23:31, 29 Mej 2005 (UTC)

Joe, I am by no means a good person to consult on matters of grammar, lol. But yes, a "sengħa" is a trade. I think that traditionally it refers to skilled tradesmen like stonemasons, I'm not sure if it is also applied to non-manual forms of work such as writing, or "professional" forms like doctors/lawyers/politicians.

Could a sculptor or artist also be practicing his 'trade'? I suppose so isn't it?

Well' whatever you think about your grammar... nobody ever complained.. and at least, as expected, YOU ANSWER :)) experience we go by ...

OK the question is do we substitute [[Category:Maltin skond ix-xogħol tagħhom]] by [[Category:Maltin skond is-Snajja tagħhom]]?

What I really don't like about mediawiki categories is their flatness and redundancy. I'd find free disassociated categories much more usable.. so that here we would have [[Category:Persuni]], [[Category:Maltin]], [[Category:Snajja]] and let a template or an agent to the predication. Well the software was designed before the event of free tagging...--Joelemaltais 01:01, 30 Mej 2005 (UTC)
