Synonymy
[සංස්කරණය]- Definition: Each listed synonym denotes the same as this entry.
- The equivalence may be less than perfect (cognitive synonymy) but should pass the practical test that "often when people say X they are referring to a thing that term Y also often refers to"; this may exclude some plesionyms, but this test allows for some variability in what "not everyone considers to be wholly differentiated."
- Properties: symmetric and reflexive
- Section:
====Synonyms====
Synonymy is a symmetric and reflexive relation.
Examples
[සංස්කරණය]- pretty and attractive are synonyms
- sick and ill are synonyms
- pocketable and pocket-sized are synonyms even though some edge cases may exist in which they are differentiable; synonym in a work such as Wiktionary does not imply solely cognitive synonymy
{{synonym of|en|ill}}
produces illSynonym of{{sense|unwell of health}}
produces (unwell of health):, useful for disambiguating between synonyms for a partial sense.
Usage
[සංස්කරණය]====Synonyms====
* {{l|en|synonym}} (allows language-specific link)
* [[synonym]] (also acceptable)
There is also another method to show synonyms, under each definition sense; see it at Wiktionary:Entry layout § Synonyms.
Antonymy
[සංස්කරණය]- Definition: Each listed antonym denotes the opposite of this entry.
- Properties: symmetric
- Section:
====Antonyms====
- Template:

Coordinate term
[සංස්කරණය]- Definition: Each listed coordinate term shares a hypernym with this entry.
- Properties: symmetric and reflexive
- Section:
====Coordinate terms====
- Template:
{{coordinate terms}}
, as an alternative to listing coordinate terms in a separate section.
Most coordinate terms should not be added to this section. They should be added to categories instead. Only words that don’t belong in any other sections and are strongly related should be here.
Examples
[සංස්කරණය]- man and woman are coordinate terms since they share various hypernyms, from the most obvious (for example, human, person, adult) to others (for example, vertebrate, mammal, resident)
- Frenchman and Englishman are coordinate terms since they share various hypernyms, from the most obvious (for example, human, nationality, person) to others (for example, vertebrate, mammal, resident)
- cat and dog are coordinate terms since they share several hypernyms, including pet, animal, mammal, and vertebrate

* {{l|en|coordinate term}} (allows language-specific link)
* [[coordinate term]] (also acceptable)
Otherwise related
[සංස්කරණය]- Definition: Each listed “otherwise related” term semantically relates to this entry.
- Section:
====See also====
If the semantic relation is none of the above (such as, for example, plesionymic, such that it is partially overlapping on a semantic field but with important distinctions), or if you don't know exactly how a word is semantically related to the word defined by the entry you are editing, please add it to this section. However, since almost all words are semantically related to each other on some (sufficiently remote) abstract level, please use your own judgement on whether somebody possibly would find it useful.
A representative example of a pair of words whose semantic relation to each other is clear and is relevant, but they are not synonymous (or synonymous only in the loosest sense of that term), is nonexpert and amateur: usually the two concepts are coinstantiated, which makes them clearly and relevantly semantically related, but the other instances in which they are not coinstantiated, and their perennial potential not to be coinstantiated, have practical importance, so it is reasonable not to call them synonyms but rather to place them in "see also" position.

Usage
[සංස්කරණය]====See also====
* {{l|en|related term}} (allows language-specific link)
* [[related term]] (also acceptable)
