From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"wee" as used in Scotland is not a noun.

[edit]

You should be able to say with a noun "I put a wee in my pocket" for example, but as I understand this is not how it's used in Scotland. I think the proper term for this is an adjective: "a wee lass" is a young girl.

Wee is also used in Ireland - meaning small, an adjective. Fowler, H.W. and Fowler, F.G. (Ed) 1964. p.1478. The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English. Oxford. At Clarendon Press.Osborne 19:57, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

[edit]

Here is the text I clobbered. Since Wikipedia is not a dictionary I think that if all of this information isn't on the Wiktionary page, it should get merged in there:

Okay, it seems this led to a revert war, so let me sign the above and this. PLEASE DISCUSS CHANGES HERE rather than continue a revert war.
