Talk:Verlan

message: The equivalent of Verlan in English would be Pig Latin, not "Versin", although it would be a way to translate it.

replies: text: I'm not expert on the topic, but I agree with this user.  Isn't the examples of "versin" taking it a bit too far (and a bit too original for wikipedia?)--Pyg 07:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I think it's a mistake to say that "morphology in French is less strict" than English; I beleive, although I've only taken a few Romance and English Morphology classes, that it is actually the opposite; that is why the everyday French person can understand about as much Old French as an English speaker can Middle (but never Old) English... But a morphologist should certainly verify this--that could be a pretty big faux pas! (posted Jan 2006)
"Survival" English is the easiest language to learn (since there are no genres and conjugation is very simple, but it is a somewhat illogical language and therefore its "morphology" is just as complex as that of French. --216.143.120.131 14:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

text: there is. Ironically, i find the english version better ^^. as of today, the french version seems to be only a list of examples. FiP 12:00, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

text: "à oilpé" is definitely correct. But I usually say "à oilp". Using "à oilpé" is almost "old school" for verlan, like saying "teufé" for "fête" (party). We now say teuf. Gobelet 22:27, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

message: It appears to me that the section titled "More examples of verlan" does not belong here, for a number of reasons. Most importantly, Wikipedia is not a dictionary; the collection of words is also potentially original research, and the numbering indicating how common they are most certainly is. In the meantime, until I see whether anyone cares about this article, I'm removing the worst non-NPOV statements from the list, but I'd rather see it gone, along with the list of phrases.
The rest of the article occasionally suffers from similar problems. I might take some steps towards improving it eventually. EldKatt (Talk) 19:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: hi, i think that this page should be added to the category in which lunfardo (basically the argentian/italian form of this) is.

i've added two other ways to say "comme ça" in verlan which are very used, as much as "kom ass".
Moreover, there's a kind of "mistake" in the "other examples". It's said "Beur -> Rebeu". But the thing is that Beur is already the verlan for Arabe (Arab) and Rebeu is the verlan for the verlan Beur... It's a bit hard to explain. But you can trust me, I'm French and I use verlan everyday. What should we do with that example ? We could also talk about the English words that are commonly used in French and which are also transformed in verlan. For example: "bitch" is "tcheubi" or "tcheub"; "shit" is "teushi" and so on... That could give some ideas about the Verlan to English speakers who cannot understand it.

message: Parents (parents) → darons
How is this verlan? Surely verlan for "parents" would be something like "rampa"? — 217.46.147.13 (talk) 14:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Never heard of "ramps" in my life, but I've found "J'habite chez mes ramps" on the Internet. Where is it used? As very often, verlan differs from region to region. Are you sure it means "old man", It's more like "boss" in my opinion.
In non slang, it means "boss, master", in slang, it means "dad".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.91.51.235 (talk) 14:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
