I intend for this to be a "sandbox" or "review space" to keep track of Chinese terms we might consider proposing to add to CC-CEDICT. My frequent thought process:

  • That's not in CC-CEDICT; maybe we should add it.
  • I'll first have to think carefully about that, but I don't have time right now.
  • A while later... what was that word again?

Also, sometimes it's best not to add a definition, as I found out here: Are "gratitude" and "appreciation" suitable CC-CEDICT definitions for 感激之心? In future, it'd be nice to know this before posting the question.

Also, I'd be perfectly happy for others to ask questions from what arises.

In my case, my teacher often suggests words to improve my writing. But I usually don't have time right then to write up a full question with the appropriate research.
