Latest comment: 2 years ago by Overlordnat1 in topic In the phrase prime minister also /(ˌ)praɪ/

itself and unity (1 in the case of integers).

[edit]

Shouldn't it say "and THE unity"? --Backinstadiums (talk) 14:37, 22 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

No it shouldn’t, I’ve never seen or heard the mathematical sense of the word ‘unity’ preceded by the definite article (and I have a Maths degree)Overlordnat1 (talk) 00:22, 25 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

For French, verb form is not listed

[edit]

It currently has only the noun form, not the conjugated form of the verb "primer". Sin Jeong-hun (talk) 21:43, 24 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

In the phrase prime minister also /(ˌ)praɪ/

[edit]

According to the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, also /(ˌ)praɪ/ in prime minister. --Backinstadiums (talk) 06:05, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I suppose we could add that pronunciation but then we’d have to do a similar thing for ‘red’ (as ‘red dwarf’ is often said as ‘re dwarf’) and ‘blind’ (‘blind date’ becoming ‘bline date’) Overlordnat1 (talk) 07:24, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
