Fwd: Sort of slang words used in assamese language...

[Bikram M. Baruah]

Manjit,

 

PLEASE NOTE:

In other dictionaries the "main entries"  are the words and the meaning follows after the words. However, XOBDO is a "semantics-based" dictionary... that is the meaning comes first at the "main entry", then the words of different languages are associated with it. We, in XOBDO, call them "Idea"s and are identified by distinct IdeaIDs. These Ideas must have different PoS (parts of speech) and a nice, little but unambiguous explanation.

 

For your submission http://www.xobdo.org/sbm/analyze_sbm.php?sbmID=3608, you can not write "Sort of slang words used in assamese language to mean 'Hello'" for the meaning BECAUSE

1. The slang/formal etc are identified by 'voting' in XOBDO.

2. The meaning also MUST be language independent, so that words of other languageS conveying same meaning OR having similar utility can be linked together.

3. when you say 'mean Hello', you are talking about http://www.xobdo.org/dic.php?i=327, so you are supposed to add the words there and NOT create ducplicate IdeaIDs.

 

My suggestion is this case is either add them to http://www.xobdo.org/dic.php?i=327  or explain exactly on what context it is used in a different IdeaID so that a non-Assamese can understand them after they consult XOBDO hearing the words somewhere else for the first time.

 

Thanks,
