Collogue:Naitural philosophy

Dis fushion an virr hae thir meanins in a scienteefic sense?

Di' ken. A ken A'v been uisin e.g. poust tae owerset Eng. force (in Newton for exemplar), but this is mibbe me takkin things ower faur in an attempt tae big a scientífic vocabular for Scots. Mendor 13:20, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

English haed tae borrae energy an force A jalouse acause in science exactness o meanin is important. Wirds lik poust, fushion an virr juist isna.

Weel, energy an force disna hae precíse meanins in English aither; the important thing for phýsicists is that aabodie kens that, for exemplar, whan ye say "force" (or "poust" or whitiver) in a scientífic context ye mean mass multiplee'd bi acceleration. The German for "force" is "Kraft", at means "strength/pouer"; same wi Japanese "力", sae A think the micht be a case for owersettin "force" wi some word the mak o "poust". Aa that maiters is that aabodie kens whit word's bein uised for whit concept. (Energy is mibbe different; that word seems tae be internaitional -- gin ye hae a leuk at aa the interwiki airtins doun the side o en:Energy ye'll see whit A mean -- sae mibbe best juist tae keep that as "energy" (or "energie" dependin on yer spellin conceits) in Scots)

O coorse, whither this is juist wantonly makkin the leid inaccessible is anither quaisten. No bein a richt native spaeker -- no wan that'd uise a word like "poust" in spaek, oniewey -- A'm no best placed tae juidge that. Mendor 16:01, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Aiblins ae wey o gaun aboot thon wad be, at the stairt o the airticle, tae uise the wirds energy an force but expound whit thir means uisin mair hamelt Scots wirds. Efter thon, in the airticle, uise the mair hamelt wirds. Whit they mean bein clear acause o the skeely bit writin at the ootset.

Naitural Philosphie?

Ane spier: Pheesics? Whits wrang wi Naitural Philosphie? Een in the 1980's the 'physics' Higher wis learnt frae beuks cried Nat Phil. Neil Leslie 09:31, 5 Februar 2006 (UTC)

Soonds fine tae me. -- Derek Ross 09:38, 5 Februar 2006 (UTC)

Aye, that's a braw idea! Mendor 15:50, 5 Februar 2006 (UTC)

Juist a smaa pynt: The Online Scots Dictionar haes it spelt Naitral philiosophy. Shoud we flit it? Scroggie 11:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

A jalouse philiosophy is juist a typo for philosophy

see DOST an SND. Jimmy 13:16, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Ay, A gree wi thon. A niver e'en saw thon. A wis talkin aboot naitral raither nor naitural. Whilk, haein leuked at the DSL micht hae been a mistak an aa. The DOST haes juist got natural an the SND haes natural (Also na(i)t(e)ral, na(i)tril, naitural, nayteral, nettural). Sae A think we hae the airticle in the maist mensefu place. Scroggie 15:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hech! A didna tent the naitral, but seen the typo in philosophy richt oot. Weel seein that Online Scots Dictionar gies the soondin as ['net(ə)rəl], it wad seem some fowk soond the vouel sae it shoud be in the spellin as naitural seein it comes fae naitur: Jimmy 16:31, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
