The dictionary is expanded and edited by those who use it. Below is what you can do, ranging from "ten seconds" to "serious commitment."
Report an Error — No Account Needed
A feedback button is available on every page of the site. No account is required—and this is intentional: the most useful observations come from people visiting for the first time who notice what is unclear, while we have already become accustomed to it.
Select the type—error, suggestion, feedback, or other—and describe it in words. If you would like a response, leave your email address (logged-in users do not need this field, as you are already connected).
Every message enters a queue and remains there until it is reviewed. This is not a "void" form.
The most helpful messages are those that specify exactly what and where. From a word page, it is useful to include the article number—it is written at the very bottom of the page. → How to read a dictionary article
Vote
Every dictionary article has Up and Down votes. This is an assessment of the article's quality, not the usefulness of the word itself.
Vote Down if you see an error in the tone, meaning, or example—especially for articles marked with ✦ AI: these have not been manually checked, and votes help us understand where to look first.
Login is required.
Suggest Examples
At the bottom of a dictionary article, there is a collapsed form: + Suggest example. You will need a Thai sentence and a translation into Russian or English (or both).
A good example is:
- short, a single sentence;
- shows the word in typical usage, rather than a rare one;
- taken from real-life text—correspondence, signs, songs—rather than constructed for the sake of grammar.
Examples undergo moderation, so they do not appear instantly.
Add Links Between Words
On a dictionary article, in the Related words block, there is a + Add link button. Types include: Synonyms, Antonyms, Formal forms, Colloquial forms, See also.
The most valuable here are "formal / colloquial" pairs. In Thai, register is more noticeable than in Russian, and textbooks say little about it. If you know that one word is suitable for a conversation with friends and another for an official application, this link will save someone from an awkward situation.
For a new link, the AI will later add a short comparison explaining exactly how the words differ.
Request Analyses
The simplest way to grow the dictionary: if you encounter a word we don't have, request an analysis. This results in a full article that everyone else can see. → AI Word Analysis
The same applies to phrase analysis: when the AI encounters an unfamiliar word within a phrase, it is added to the editors' queue. This means that even by simply analyzing confusing sentences, you are gradually expanding the dictionary. → Phrase Analysis
Share Collections
If you have put together a good thematic list, make your collection public. It will appear in Explore, and others will be able to study using it. → Word Collections
Lists that are currently scarce are especially needed: words for specific everyday situations—pharmacy, repairs, documents, talking to a doctor.
Stars and Rating
Stars are awarded for analyses that reach completion. The Leaderboard shows stars, the number of completed analyses, and the total vote count for them.
This is not a competition, but a way to see that contributions are recognized. Stars do not grant any special permissions.
