<< review queue entry 81360 - submitted by 'agedits' >> wanted to add a classifier, but not sure if I should skip the variations and just use chang3? ChatGPT gave me a staggering four classifiers! 场 (chǎng) – The most general-purpose classifier, valid across all meanings. 阵 (zhèn) – Helps clarify short-lived or transient events. 轮 (lún) – Crucial for expressing phases or rounds of ongoing crises (e.g., financial crisis waves). 顿 (dùn) – Captures the nuance of sudden, discrete incidents (e.g., an outbreak of social unrest). ------------------------ Editor: Chat GPT's comment ~ "CC-CEDICT has traditionally included classifiers only when they are particularly useful for learners—typically for common nouns where the classifier is not easily inferred. However, advanced learners or native speakers would naturally understand that different classifiers can be used depending on context, nuance, and speaker intent. Listing every possible classifier for a word like 风暴 (fēngbào) risks overwhelming users with information that is more about stylistic variation than fundamental necessity. "Additionally, dictionaries generally don’t aim to be exhaustive in listing classifiers. More specialized linguistic resources or grammar guides would be better suited for that. Given this, I’d lean towards not including classifiers for 风暴 at all, unless there is a particularly strong case for one that is overwhelmingly the default (e.g., 场)." |
