FWOTD nomination[edit]

@Lingo Bingo Dingo I totally take your point and ideally it would be my preference too. However, and this point might apply to other vernacular languages, it will be hard to document it in a purely Sranan Tongo context. I think we can rule out written sources so it'd have to be audiovisual. But even then it will be difficult. As Sranan Tongo is not the language of administration, any discussion of politics involves heavy code-switching. Although in this particular case I think the expression is so fixed that it transcends code-switching, as the quotations hopefully demonstrate. Appolodorus1 (talk) 11:16, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

I understand. I also suppose that the other criterion, providing one or two reliable references, may be difficult for proverbs and phrases. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 20:54, 5 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
