Slide presentation[edit]

We have the sense "a lecture or speech given in front of an audience", but what about a slide presentation or PowerPoint presentation? Is there a further related sense referring to the actual set of slides? Equinox 21:56, 1 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Presentation in Chinese[edit]

Hey: I totally understand why you would want to delete my addition to the page on 'presentation' concerning the Chinese usage. But this word is used amongst native Chinese speakers in amongst native Chinese vocabulary and grammar. When I heard it again yesterday while walking past a group of Chinese college students speaking in Mandarin, I decided the time had come to mention it on wiktionary. From my perspective, it's a loan word from English that hasn't been transformed into Chinese characters. It's an oddity, and I don't think it's Chinglish in the way that other things are pure Chinglish. Please let me know what you think I would need to do to add something about this to wiktionary or about this type of situation in general. Thanks! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 23:26, 12 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
