Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).
@Rejoy2003: Sorry, that wasn't very observant of me. Thanks for responding. So, is Ramnath Kare's full name "Govind Ramnath Kare", or does "Govind" mean something else? 0DF (talk) 04:20, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rejoy2003: Thank you. I noted that in the article for the Govind Ramnath Kare College of Law. Since the same source gives this man's full name as Ramnath Govind Kare, I've also noted that middle name in the article for him. Perhaps unrelatedly, but do you know whether the Kare surname of this family is the same as the Kare surname of Lata Bhagwan Kare (i.e.Marathi: करे)? 0DF (talk) 21:11, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@0DF To eliminate your doubts about the last name and middle name questions, for Hindus, this is quite common. Their children taken after their father's first name as their own middle name. The answer to your other question, is yes, they are apparently the same. Although I'm not sure about their origin of the "Kare" surname, possibly it might have come from Maharashtra.

@Rejoy2003: I didn't find the "switched" name order of father and son particulary confusing; I see that quite frequently in Anglophone countries amongst non-Hindus, too. Thanks for the confirmation about the surname. I inferred a Marathi source because the film Lata Bhagwan Kare is in Marathi and because Marathi is an official language of Goa, although I considered it possible that Lata's surname could derive from Telugu: కరే and Ramnath's could derive from a Konkani source. I was not and am not certain, however. Are you able to tell me how the surname is pronounced, please? 0DF (talk) 12:41, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@0DF Marathi is not the official language of Goa, it is Konkani actually. Marathi is used at times for offical communication purposes. Marathi and Konkani are so similar yet so different, when speaking about last names, I think they are pronounced the same. For us Goans, we'd pronounce the Kare surname as Kaa-ré.

@Rejoy2003: Please excuse my error; it stems from the transclusion of {{Infobox Indian state or territory}} in [[Goa]], which notes Marathi and English as "Additional official" languages of the state. When you write Kaa-ré, do you mean that the first vowel is a long a (as in the first vowel of father) and not a schwa (as in the first vowel of about)? 0DF (talk) 13:33, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@0DF while verifying or in general speaking content on Wikipedia comes down to WP:WINRS, basically nothing here is reliable. I won't be surprised if someone changes the official language of Goa to English tomorrow. See [1] where it is stressed that Konkani is the official language, we literally had [[Konkani language agitation|young men died to get this]. Secondly yes it's long "a".

@Rejoy2003: Point taken. I make the pronunciation /kɑːreɪ/, Marathi pronunciation:[kaːɾe], but I don't know the stress. Could you tell me whether the name is stressed on the first syllable (the penult) or on the second (the ultima), please? 0DF (talk) 22:25, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rejoy2003: That's great; thank you. A final thing: There is an Indian theoretical condensed-matter physicist named Kare Narain Pathak. He's from Uttar Pradesh, so I doubt his given name and the surname we've been discussing are related, but I thought I'd ask just in case. Do you know the origin and/or pronunciation of Dr Pathak's given name, by any chance? 0DF (talk) 07:33, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
