Learner’s Dictionary Examples

The SELD is a learner’s dictionary. This means it should include information that someone who does not speak Sinhala would not know, for example irregular past tense forms.

The Oxford Advanced Learner’s dictionary is the best example of what we are trying to achieve. You can see entries online to get an idea.

• listen
• hear
• sit

Here are some examples from the SELD where you can see how we can make the entries useful for learners:

• අය
• එපා
• කරගැනීම
