How these entries are written
Most bilingual word lists give a single equivalent and stop. That is where they mislead, because the useful information is usually in the choice between near-synonyms: whether a word belongs in speech or on a form, whether it sounds warm or stiff, whether a native speaker would ever say it out loud.
Every entry here carries that context, plus a note on the grammar or usage point the word tends to expose. Nothing is machine-generated.
To write any of these words yourself, use the type Nepali in English letters; to understand the letters they are built from, read learn the Devanagari letters. You can also search the dictionary by English word, Devanagari or romanized spelling — typos are fine.
