Talk:Tristan Tzara

message: Maybe I'm just crazy here, but doesn't the nom de guerre Tristan Tzara mean something in Romanian? I've heard "Bored of his country" as a proposal, but I'm far from sure. Anybody who speaks Romanian who can back me up on this??—Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabbe (talk • contribs) 
::Tristan Tzara doesn't mean anything in Romanian the way it is spelt and pronounced, but it is similar to a few other words. Ţară (read "Tzară") means country, that's right. Ţara is the articulated form (the article goes at the end of the word in Romanian), so the ă is dropped for the a. So, Tzara means "the country", the "tz" frequently replacing the "ţ" character in the same way that "oe" replaces the German o-umlaut (ö). Tristan is a Romanian name (and a Romance-language name in general). Trist means sad in Romanian, similar to how triste in French means the same thing. So -- "trist pentru ţară" means "sad for his country", or, and this is where it links it -- "trist în ţară", which can also be written "trist ân ţară" (î and â are the same character in terms of pronunciation) means "Sad in the country", in context meaning "Sad in Romania" because Romanians frequently talk about their (our ;-) country as "ţara" - the country. So, you were very close ;-) Cheers.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.67.10 (talk • contribs) 
An anagram of the name Tristan Tzara is Artist Tarzan.  — JIP | Talk 10:24, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite an anagram of "Triste Tarzan" (sad Tarzan) too. Burroughs Tarzan of the apes woz born 1912, Tzara chose his name in 1915.
Much of this article is plagiarized from the Encyclopedia Britannica article on Tzara.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.166.254.242 (talk • contribs) 
This article has serious POV issues. Or maybe Britannica has serious POV issues.--Quadalpha 06:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Romanian

message: It is speculated that the word "Dada" comes from the Romanian "Yes, yes" and is thusly originated from Tzara and Janco's contributions.
''
An art history I read text speculated that the origins of the name dada were not from this, but becuase of the Dadaist statment that "Art is not only here (in a museum), but [pointing] there, there."  In Russian or German "there there" becomes "da da."

message: shoudn't we mention about the dada poem he created; i mean it was arguably the most important thing he did.--Vircabutar 07:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Well I learned at school, that word "dada" comes from dictionary, that they blindly marked this word in a dictionary with a pencil. And from that time on they called their new style "dadaism". And the word dada should mean something like "hobby". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.176.40.127 (talk) 11:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: Google seems roughly evenly balanced between 24 December and 25 December, but I've found nothing that settles it one way or another.  Can anyone help?  --  JackofOz (talk) 08:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it seems most refs say 25 December.  Our sister interlang articles mostly agree, except for German and Russian, who have 24 December.  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 10:02, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of death

message: I have restored the spelling of dialogue to the article - as a holder of two degrees in drama from the US, I can confirm that this is the standard. I've retained Samuel Beckett in the influenced section but added a fact tag request - please detail the sources that describe this influence. As described in Wikipedia:Lead section, the lead should not be unreferenced, even when the rest of the article has them. DionysosProteus (talk) 10:02, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've restored the unreferenced tag once more to the lead. If you have any queries about why, please see Wikipedia:Lead section. That other articles fail to follow the guidelines does not exempt this one from doing so. DionysosProteus (talk) 23:30, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor changes 

message: We're saying it was either 4 April or 16 April.  Isn't it likely that both dates are right?  After all, Romania was still using the Julian calendar, which was 12 days behind the Gregorian in the 19th century.  So, 4 April (Julian) is exactly the same day as 16 April (Gregorian).  Can it be verified that this explains the apparent discrepancy in the dates found in sources?    --  JackofOz (talk) 03:54, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that must be it. After all, only one of the sources used advances April 4, and when I added the info I just didn't notice the connection. Good catch! Dahn (talk) 15:14, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  And yet we are now saying the date was 16/28 April. German WP has it as 4/16 April. Both can't be right. --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 09:29, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Footnote 7 reads:
(in Romanian) Andra Matzal, "România-fantomă o să mai existe în forma unei suferințe psihice" (interview with Andrei Codrescu)[dead link], at Club Literatura Archived 13 June 2009 at the Wayback Machine, Cotidianul; retrieved 29 June 2009
But the allegedly archived link shows only the Club Literatura home page, with no Matzal article; it is useless for referencing.  I am concerned because this is the only reference for, e.g., the claim that "The French pronunciation of his name has become commonplace in Romania, where it replaces its more natural reading."
