Slovene SimLex-999 (Pollak, Senja ; Vulić, Ivan; Pelicon, Andraž ; Repar, Andraž; Armendariz, Carlos ; Matthew, Purver; Ljubešić, Nikola)
Description of the resource: The list contains English SimLex-999 (Hill et al. 2015) and their Slovene translations. In the translation process, the word pairs were first translated by two translators independently, and next, for the examples where the translations differed, the final translations were chosen in a consensus meeting.
The translators had also access to Croatian Simlex-999 translations (Mrkšić et al. 2017) and received translation guidelines (see next sheet) inspired by guidelines of Multi-SimLex (Vulić et al. 2020). The resources was used for building the CoSimLex resource (Armendariz et al. 2020).
The list contains English original pair of words (Word1 and Word2), their part-of-speech, followed by Slovene translations (Trans1 and Trans2). The last column Comment relates to special cases:

- Flag any difficult translations, and comment in general if you have doubts or any remarks
- If you cannot find two distinct words for source and target word, please flag it as difficult, and add a comment
- If you find yourself using identical translation for two pairs, please add a comment
- You can use the provided Croatian translation as an additional source
- if gender is not marked in English (e.g. cat), try to pick the most natural one in Slovene, and if there is no clear gender interpretation, follow the Croatian one
- Translate word pairs (and not single words): constituent words in a pair act as a disambiguation signal. Regarding multiple senses, try to pick the one that is most true to the . . .
