Re the noun/adjective issue, this is often a struggle, as the dictionary examples indicate. The n-grams indicate that noun usage is far less common than adjectival/prenominal, so I'd be comfortable with using adjective glosses and adjusting the POS accordingly.
Re the use of "celibate", as you can see it's in several dictionaries. I think its meaning in English has drifted a bit and probably it's best omitted now. |

I'm from WaniKani and our user requested to add "celibate" as the meaning of 独身, referring to jisho.
However, "celibate" appears to describe someone who refrains from marriage and sexual relations (独身主義者), rather than simply indicating an unmarried status or person. We request "celibate" to be removed from the meaning.
Also, 独身 is more commonly used as an adjective (as in "single" or "unmarried"), rather than "bachelorhood." So I recommend moving "bachelorhood" as the third meaning instead of the primary meaning.
Thank you for your time and consideration. |
