# Create an instance of the BanglaDictionary
from bangla_dictionary.dictionary import BanglaDictionary

bd = BanglaDictionary()

# Get the meaning of a word
meaning = bd.get_meaning("অই")
print(meaning)  # Output: {"২": ["পদ্যে ছন্দের খাতিরে নির্দেশক স্বরবর্ণ 'ঐ' কখনো কখনো 'অই' রুপে ব্যবহৃত হয়", "স্মরণ সম্বোধন ও আক্ষেপাদি সূচক"], "১": ["অদূরে বা সম্মুখবর্তী কোনো কিছু নির্দেশে ", "নির্দিষ্ট", "উল্লিখিত", "সেই"]}

# Get the pronunciation of a word
pronunciation = bd.get_pronunciation("অংগুষ্ঠানা")
print(pronunciation)  # Output: "ওঙ্গুশঠানা"

# Get an example sentence for a word
example = bd.get_example("অকাজ")
print(example)  # Output: "সে হলো অকাজের কাজী।"

# Get the part of speech (POS) of a word
pos = bd.get_pos("অকাট্য")
print(pos)  # Output: "বিণ"

# Get the type of word
word_type = bd.get_type("অঋণ")
print(word_type)  # Output: "অর্থ [অর্থনৈতিক]"

# Get the source of a word
source = bd.get_source("অকাণ্ড")
print(source)  # Output: "ব্যবহারিক বাংলা অভিধান" 

# Get multiple meanings
from bangla_dictionary.dictionary import BanglaDictionary

bd = BanglaDictionary()

meanings = bd.get_multiple_meanings("অংশভাগী", "অংশল", "অংশহারী")
print(meanings)  # Output: {'অংশভাগী': '{"১": ["অংশ পাওয়ার যোগ্য", "অংশীদার"]}', 'অংশল': '{"১": ["বলবান", "বলশালী"]}', 'অংশহারী': '{"১": ["অংশলোপ", "অপহরণ করে এমন"], "২": ["অংশগ্রহণকারী"]}'}

# Get multiple pronunciations
pronunciations = bd.get_multiple_pronunciations("অংশহারী", "অংশাংশ", "অংশানো")
print(pronunciations)  # Output: {"অংশহারী": "অঙ্‌শোহর", "অংশাংশ": "অঙ্‌শাঙ্‌শো", "অংশানো": "অঙ্‌শানো"}

# Get multiple examples
examples = bd.get_multiple_examples("অকল্যান", "অকষ্টবদ্ধ", "অকস্মাৎ")
print(
    examples)  # Output: {"অকল্যান": "অকল্যান এই সুর।", "অকষ্টবদ্ধ": "সাধু বাংলার বাক্য গঠন পদ্ধতি অকষ্টবদ্ধ।", "অকস্মাৎ": "ছেড়েছি সব অকস্মাতের আশা।"}

# Get multiple parts of speech (POS)
pos_list = bd.get_multiple_pos("অকল্যাণকর", "অকল্মষ", "অকস্মাৎ")
print(pos_list)  # Output: {"অকল্যাণকর": "বিণ", "অকল্মষ": "বিণ", "অকস্মাৎ": "ক্রিবিন"}

# Get multiple types
types = bd.get_multiple_types("অকরোটি ", "অঋণী", "অইরান")
print(types)  # Output: {"অকরোটি ": "প্রাণি [প্রাণিবিজ্ঞান]", "অঋণী": "অর্থ [অর্থনৈতিক]", "অইরান": "ফা. [ফারসি]"}

# Get multiple sources
sources = bd.get_multiple_sources("অকরোটি", "অঋণী", "অইরান")
print(
    sources)  # Output: {"অকরোটি": "ব্যবহারিক বাংলা অভিধান", "অঋণী": "ব্যবহারিক বাংলা অভিধান", "অইরান": "ব্যবহারিক বাংলা অভিধান"}
