Tiktionary is a video dictionary. For example, the word “hero” can mean different things to different people, such as a father, a firefighter, or even a dog. Tiktionary compiles these individual definitions into video format, using the resources provided by TikTok effectively.
Dictionaries are supposed to be an abstraction of all these definitions. They are useful for things that have changing definitions, such as marriage not being limited to just a union between a man and a woman. While traditional dictionaries work deductively, Tiktionary conveys concepts in an inductive manner.
