Title: Collective noun to describe a group of Pagodas together
Post by: rwmastel on July 18, 2023, 15:24:17
What shall we call it when a bunch of Pagodas are together?  You know, the collective noun.

Examples:
herd of buffalo
band of gorillas
pride of lions
fleet of trucks
line of cars
squadron of airplanes
armada of ships
chain of islands

What shall it be for Pagodas?  Be creative!  Here's your chance to have your place in history as the person who coined the term.   :D

English is not my native language, so I am sure I will be excused:

bunch, band, gang, pack, flock

I'd just use the built-in poll feature of the forums.  Actually, let's do this.  People can continue to post ideas/entries through the end of this month and on Aug 1 I will create a poll, let it run the month of August, and when it closes we'll have a winner!

How 'bout a "pride" of Pagodas?

Anytime I see someone referring to a collection of vehicles, the term "fleet" is being used. What's wrong with that?

Too easy and no fun perhaps?
I like “revenue”…

Plethora, Pride and Parade all great choices. But..............my vote would be "Parade of Pagodas". Sounds more fitting.

My first thought was simply, Pagodi. If we go with something more fun and still meaningful, I like pride.

I went ahead and created the poll at the top of the thread.  It's open for 21 days.  Poll results are hidden until the poll closes.  Enjoy!

Already mentioned, but I like PAGODI , plural of PAGODA.
BTW: good thread concept.  Hoping for a TEE Shirt from originator (Rodd Mastel) when votes are in…….

Our W113s came to be called Pagodas because of the hard top shape being similar to a Japanese pagoda.

Why not “Takusan Pagodas” ??

The Japanese word “takusan” means much or many.  If my memory serves me correctly, there is little or no emphasis on the “u” and the pronunciation is almost as if it were spelled t-a-k-s-a-n.  Do we have a fluent Japanese speaker here?

Rodd, what about the later suggestions.  Are you going to modify your poll or, have you shut off further suggestions?
Title: Re: Collective noun to describe a group of Pagodas together
Post by: H. Keith Henry on July 24, 2023, 22:49:13
If the poll is updated, I have one more suggestion: A Gathering of Pagodas.

Already mentioned, but I like PAGODI , plural of PAGODA.
 

Not exactly. The gender ending in "A" is female in Italian. Male gender is "O". Plural ending for male gender (and mix) is "I" Plural ending for female gender is "E".
Consequently: One Pagod"A" , two or more are Pagod"E"

Now, write it out 100 times. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.

The gender ending in "A" is female in Italian.
But it's a Japanese architecture reference for a German car.  I kind of like using Pagoda as both the singular and plural, as in the one suggestion "a loada Pagoda".  Made me smile. Most improtantly, let's not take anything in this discussion too seriously.
