Is trout a word - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

I’ve been looking for some information about a trout and I came across this question:
1. «What is Trout?». Source: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-trout.htm. The answer to this question is : «Trout is a group name for fishes belonging in the family Salmonidae.».
I wonder how different is that question from this question:
2. What is a trout? (count noun)

Is «Trout» in question 1 a spiecies? That is the name of a fish called a trout? Or is it the flesh of a trout? (non-count noun)
An answer to question 2 could be: A fish usually found in streams and lakes.
So, is «Trout» a species or a flesh? Or maybe it is a trout in a plural form.

I guess I can use both questions. But what is the difference between those two questions. What do you think the author of the first question intend?
Thanks for explaining the additional meaning of «trout».

To note, «trout» predominantly remains the same in the plural form.

He caught a lot of trout yesterday.

But again that would require «are» after «What», I guess.

It makes sense to assume that the author would say «What is «trout»? if he/she implied the word itself, whereas in the second case, it would be about the kind of fish.

wolfbm1

So you ask «What is trout» when you would like somebody to define the alien word «trout».
And you ask: What is trout? or What are trout? when you would like somebody to elaborate on this matter. And you cannot ask: What is a trout?
That’s how I understand it now.

wolfbm1

Yes. So when I ask «What’s a trout?» I mean «What kind of fish is that?».

I suggest, like tamerlane, that the original question is incorrect and should be:
«What are trout?» Answer: «trout are».
«What is a trout?» Answer: «A trout is…».
The definition of «a trout» being an silly, elderly woman doesn’t really fit with useage as usually one says «an old trout» («elderly» would make the «old» redundant) and I would have thought an old trout was disagreeable rather than silly.

wolfbm1

Thanks tamerlane and Uncle Bob. So question 1 «What is Trout?» is actually an ambiguous question. And in answer you can either say what the word «trout» means or you can elaborate on this topic.
I also found on that website (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-brown-trout.htm my kind of question:
3.»What Is a Brown Trout?». And the reply is: «The brown trout is a relative of the Atlantic salmon, and is found in freshwater rivers and lakes throughout the European continent, North America, and the British Isles.»
Now I wonder why you can ask «What Is a Brown Trout?» and you cannot ask «What is a trout?».

By the way. Although the expression «an old trout» certainly is not very nice I remember I once felt like saying that. It was when I rushed into one of the carriages of the London Tube and I almost landed on an elderly English lady sitting on one of the seats opposite the door. And I heard: «You must be crazy or unkind!». I didn’t quite understand what she was trying to say. Me crazy? Me unkind? It was definitely my fault but I didn’t like her remark very, very much.

If I have understood you correctly: you found the question while seeking on the web, and you wonder why the question has not got an ‘a’ before ‘trout’?
My suggestion is that the question refers to the word, and is equivalent to «What does the word trout mean?». The question suggests that the asker has no idea if it would be appropriate to use ‘a trout’.
Omitting the ‘a’ may be, however, just a typo.

wolfbm1

I think the answer: «Trout is a group name for fishes … ? to the question: «What is Trout?» confused me a bit. I would expect: «Trout is a kind of food that you can buy at a fish counter in your local supermarket». Similarly you could ask about pork (non-count noun): «What is pork? and expect the following answer: «Pork is a kind of food that you can buy at a meat counter.». But then about an apple (count noun): «What is an apple?». Answer: «An apple is also a kind of food. Actually it is a kind of fruit. You can buy it at the greengrocer’s. «. Or maybe the question should be «What is «apple»?» or «What does «apple» mean?».

I agree with Wolf’s post No. 11. What is trout? puzzled me at first, but it differs from What is a trout? (and What is the trout?) because it demands an explanation of the uncountable sense(s) of the word trout. One possible answer is: Trout is the flesh of fish in the subfamily salmoninae.

I am not sure that Trout is a group name for fishes belonging in the family Salmonidae is a possible answer, because I am not sure that trout is used in an uncountable sense in that sentence.

It reminds me of the question What is truth? at verse 38 here: http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/k/kjv/kjv-idx?type=DIV2&byte=4850941

Trout, like deer, is the same in singular and plural; the latter has no «s».

I caught a trout. There are a lot of trout in that stream.

wolfbm1

I guess I could also say:
I have already caught three trout. Look at these trout! Aren’t they beatiful? Look! There’s a trout over there. Try and catch it.
What about this sentence:
«The trout found in the North River are brook trout; many of them may be fish from the Indian Head and Drinkwater Rivers who go downstream.» Source: http://www.ehow.com/about_6535560_trout-fishing-north-river-massachusetts.html

Is «The trout» in the sentence above a specific type of fish? I think it is in the plural form.
Could I use the singular and say: «The trout is my favourite of all fish.» if I can say: «The giraffe is the tallest of all animals.»?

I suggest, like tamerlane, that the original question is incorrect and should be:
«What are trout?» Answer: «trout are».
«What is a trout?» Answer: «A trout is…».
The definition of «a trout» being an silly, elderly woman doesn’t really fit with useage as usually one says «an old trout» («elderly» would make the «old» redundant) and I would have thought an old trout was disagreeable rather than silly.

And how would you ask if you never had heard the word trout before, and had not idea if the noun is countable or uncountable?
What about water? What is a water? What are water?

wolfbm1

Is it widi or wiki? Your link has sent me to «Widipedia.org».

The word encompasses several species. Read all about them at
http://en.widipedia.org/wiki/Trout

I think you meant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trout.
Yes, I have checked this webpage already. It is very interesting and I found a lot about the word «trout» and that «trout» (singular — a trout, plural — trout) encompasses (that woud be the word) or encompass (that woud be the plural) quite a lot of species of this fish (or of these fish).
The thing is that I always have to make a conscious effort and look for clues to decide what is at stake — a singular, a plural or a mass noun. It would be much worse if I were to paraphrase the introduction to this above-mentioned article about «trout»:
«Trout is the name for number of species of freshwater and saltwater fish belonging to the Salmoninae subfamily of the family Salmonidae. Salmon belong to the same family as trout but, unlike most trout, most salmon species spend almost all their lives in salt water. Trout are classifed as an oily fish.[1]
The word trout is also used as part of the name of some non-salmonid fish such as Cynoscion nebulosus, the spotted seatrout or speckled trout.»

Let me repeat what I said in post #14:
Could I use the singular and say: «The trout is my favourite of all fish.» if I can say: «The giraffe is the tallest of all animals.»?
Or, if «trout» is mostly used in the plural then I should say: «The trout are my favourite of all fish».
And thinking about «beans» as a specific type of vegetable I should say: «The beans are my favourite of all vegetables».

Edit: I have found the answer to my question in post #14″: «The trout also has a bigger and noticeably longer mouth compared to the salmon.»
Source: http://www.differencebetween.net/science/nature/difference-between-sea-trout-and-salmon-2/.
So I can use the singular form and say: «The trout is my favourite of all fish». I think I have found the truth about «trout».

And how would you ask if you never had heard the word trout before, and had not idea if the noun is countable or uncountable?
What about water? What is a water? What are water?

What about «cattle»? This word is used in the plural form in the example sentences below:
1. «Cattle were first domesticated in Neolithic times.» Source: Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary
2. «Cattle belong to an ancient and diverse group of mammals, … associated with human civilization since Neolithic times 8000–10000 years ago.» Source: http://www.geochembio.com/biology/organisms/cattle/
So one could ask: What is «cattle»? or What are cattle?
One could not ask:

~~What is a cattle?~~

Let me quote the original question from the website (post #1):
«What is Trout?»
Why was «Trout» capitalised if the inquirer had had no idea that it could be capitalised?
Check out this site: http://www.briancoad.com/ncr/Names%20List.htm
It says: «All capitalised names are official common names of species or families.»

The word «trout can be used as a singular or plural noun. A trout (singular) is a fish, one of the species of fish known as «trout» (plural). You don’t use the «a» when using «trout» in its plural sense, unless you’re using it in tamerlane’s sense of an elderly, silly woman. «These ladies are a couple of old trouts». Hope this helps.

Trout is unlike deer in that trout has uncountable senses; whereas I can’t think of any grammatical sentence that begins Deer is…

Trout is the flesh of fish in the subfamily salmoninae, especially when considered as food. I had lovely trout for lunch yesterday.OK

Deer is the flesh of ruminant mammals in the family cervidae, especially when considered as food. I had lovely deer for lunch yesterday. NO

Deer is the flesh of ruminant mammals in the family cervidae, especially when considered as food. I had lovely deer for lunch yesterday. NO

Actually I had a whole trout for dinner yesterday. The trout was really lovely. It just had a couple of bones. I don’t think I could manage a whole deer in one sitting. But I would like to try some venison to see how the deer tastes.
However I found this on the Web: «I had a deer for lunch today, for that is what we had caught. I am not sure what we will be having for dinner, but I am sure it will be good. I hope tomorrow when we go hunting that we will get a bison, we have not had that in a long time.» Source: http://meyerisland.wikispaces.com/gray+wolf.

It may be useful to point out that almost all of the entries on the wisegeek website are «What is/are <something>».
Where the <something> is clearly plural, the question is «What are…» otherwise it is «What is…».
I wouldn’t put much weight on that example.

What is your purpose in providing these examples, Wolf?

What is your purpose in providing these examples, Wolf?

Well, I got so obsessed with this „trout” thing that when the day before yesterday I was passing by a fish counter I decided to buy some trout. To my delight there was a nice display of two species of the Salmonidae family, namely the Trout and the Salmon. They were mostly salmon and trout fillets. There were just three whole trout left. After careful deliberation I decided to buy a whole trout with its head and tail. After I prepared it at home it tasted delicious.
The above story puts my knowledge of the word “trout” to the test but also with it I would like to make a point. I deliberately used the word “whole” with “trout” rather than the word “a” only. It is because “a whole trout” looks for me as more of “a trout in one piece” than just “a trout” which starts to be ambiguous. “A trout” could potentially mean “a package of trout” in the same way the expression “a water” means “a glass of water” even if one does not use “a trout” in that way.
Also in my mother tongue when I speak about “trout” as a class it always has a singular form. So the idea expressed in the sentence “Trout are tasty fish.” in my mother tongue would be translated as “A trout is a tasty fish” — in a word for word translation.
Similarly it could be difficult for you to understand why in Polish the exact equivalent of the noun “door” has a plural form and is used together with a plural form of “be” although it denotes a single object. It is simply used that way.
So this is an example of difficulties that a learner of a foreign language has to overcome.
As for the example sentence from the Web I suspect that the author should say «I had some venison for lunch today» or «I had some deer meat … .» instead of «I had a deer for lunch today.».
