Explanation

Explain the entry to us! Tell us what we should know to understand what your entry means. When is it used, how is it used, what makes it meaningful or interesting. Be as extensive as you'd like.

Add an example quote

Provide an original example that illustrates the entry. This helps to understand how it is used in context.

Translate your quote literally

The meaning of the saying should clear from your explanation, and the example can be a way for people to understand how it is used in actual conversation.

Add a source

Provide a link to an example of your entry being used online.

This can be any link to a page that shows the entry in use or proves it exists. Some examples include:

A tweet or post on social media
A blog post, forum thread or article that mentions the entry
A dictionary or language resource page
A video or reel where the entry is used

If you can't find a link because your language doesn't have much online representation, simply add /no_link.

Not adding a valid link may affect the moderation process of your entry.

✅ Know that a source is ANY online example of your entry in use — a tweet, TikTok, article, blog post, forum, etc.

🔍 Try searching on Google, TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter to find one.

❌ Can't find one? Use /no_link as your placeholder.

⚠️ Not providing a source may impact moderation, depending on context.

We understand some languages or expressions have little online presence, or may come from your own vocabulary.

Still, we encourage adding a source when possible as it helps us and others verify and understand your entry better.
