This page is a documentation page for Kannada (Q33673) lexemes in WikiProject Wikidata:Lexicographical data, intended for assisting contributions to Kannada lexeme content.

Kannada is an agglutinative Dravidian language spoken by over 44 million people in and around the Indian state of Karnataka.

Wikidata:Lexemes aims to provide a CC0 licensed structured lexicographical data for everyone to use for different purposes, including for Wiktionary, the upcoming Abstract Wikipedia and external projects.

Layout

Every lexeme entry has the following layout:

• Lemma (dictionary form) of the lexeme as title or headword, along with lexeme ID. Language code and lexical category is also given.
  • Senses - different meanings of the same word
    • Statements for senses. This usually includes image, item for this sense, translation, synonym, antonym, usage example, and more (see list). Note that for translation, antonym, & synonym properties, the lexeme "sense ID" (LXXXXX-S1) of the target lexeme has to be copy pasted, not the lexeme ID.
  • Forms - different forms and cases of the lexeme
