Thread:Portal talk:Os/Imperative in option messages?/reply (10)

1) You say: in English, "edit" might as well be understood as "do edit" -> that is the misunderstanding; it is an infinitive but that is coincidentally the same as imperative in English (that proves English is bad for being a source language)

2) You say: You just choose among listed options, each of them is an invitation to do something, an imperative. -> that is the contrary, an invitation/option must be an infinitive because it is an invitation/option. Imperative comes from Latin "imperare" which means "to command, order". That's the contrast.

3) If your babel boxes are right, then Bouron is a native Ossetian speaker and you speak Ossetian as a second language. That would mean Bourbon has more understanding of Ossetian and should be right.
