Talk:hark

Is 'hark' archaic now?

Every time I hear it, it's always used in an archaic fashion. As a native speaker of the language, I had to look up the definition, and the only context I've heard it used in are old songs and people trying to sound archaic. I propose its definition is augmented with a preceding "(archaic)" text. Dictionary more like wiki (talk) 04:31, 27 December 2019 (UTC)User:Dictionary_more_like_wiki

I agree. It may be in non-archaic use somewhere- but not in the US, at least. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:40, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
