Talk:Daimyo

message: This part is kinda off, weird and confusing......
Though the term "daimyo" literally means "great name," the Japanese word actually comes from the kanji (characters) dai, meaning "large," and myō (shortened from myōden) meaning "name-land" or "private land.[citation needed]"
I know the kanji dai can translate to "great" or "big", but the myo part.....I think that part is off....名 by itself translates to name....where is this moden coming from?? Not to mention it kinda contridicts itself.....its it literally translates to "great name", then what with the further (incorrect) infomation?? 
I'm changing it.   75.72.221.172 (talk) 12:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the contribution was correct: 大名 daimyō does in fact derive from 大名田 daimyōden, literally "great named land", referring to an owner of a large estate (as opposed to a 小名田 shōmyōden, later simply 小名田 shōmyō). 195.14.216.9 (talk) 00:53, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Definition needed: "a generic term referring to the powerful territorial sui lords in premodern Japan". And what were they? The closest possibilities I see on the disambiguation page are still pretty far-fetched:
* Sui Dynasty of China
* Sui (surname), a transcription of two Chinese surnames
* Sui County, Henan, county in Shangqiu, Henan, China
* Sui County, Hubei, county in Suizhou, Hubei, China
* Sui (粋), an ideal in Japanese aesthetics similar to iki

message: Hi, "daimyo" is in the current edition of Merriam Webster, the 11th edition. So it's considered part of Amerian English and doesn't need to be italicized. You can also see it here on its online edition. Let's update this.--A21sauce (talk) 04:02, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

message: It's not an English word of Japanese origin, like "samurai", "ninja", "sumo", or "Tokyo"; it's a romanized Japanese word being used in English. The move was a mistake and a joke. The article still uses italics for the word, indicating it is a strictly non-English word, as it should. 108.34.149.124 (talk) 16:24, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
