The dictionary is conjugating a noun

Question

I looked up the Spanish word "billar" which means billiards or pool. Now it appears to only be a noun but at the bottom of the page it shows conjugations. I assume the software is fooled--because the word ends with -ar it thinks it is a verb. That's either something that should be fixed, or explain to me what it means to conjugate a noun.

Answer 1

Thank you!

I have fixed billar as well as all the nouns that Doriz pointed out. I am working on making up a list of all nouns that end in AR, ER, and IR so I can delete the conjugations of these non-verbs. Thanks for the vigilance!

Answer 2

Good catch. I reported it to the admins.

Good work, Mr. Shortstop. - 0057ed01, Feb 2, 2010

Answer 3

"billar" is a noun, "jugar billar"....not all the words that end in "ar", "er", "ir" are verbs.

Ex. nouns that end with "ar": millar (mil), avatar, bienestar, bar, hangar

"er": suéter, éter, canciller, ayer

"ir": elíxir

Only a few examples...

Nice to see you here again, Doriz. Your native language does help us much. Like this expanded response. - 0057ed01, Feb 2, 2010
