What the cards show
Each card shows the word you are learning and its translation. You choose what else it shows, and on which side:
- Reading (furigana)
- Kana reading above the kanji. Also controls furigana in example sentences.
- Romanization
- The word in Latin letters: Hepburn (Japanese), pinyin (Chinese), Revised Romanization (Korean), ALA-LC (Arabic), transliteration (Russian, Ukrainian, Armenian, Greek). For Chinese it also controls pinyin in example sentences.
- Measure word / counter
- The classifier used when counting this noun (一本书, 鉛筆を三本, ba con mèo).
- Key forms
- The few forms you need to use the word: plural, genitive, past tense, aspect partner, verb class… not full tables.
- Examples
- Example sentences with the word highlighted. Use the slider to choose how many (0–3).
- Example translations
- Shows each example in your language when a matching translation exists. Some examples are written natively and have no translation.
- Antonyms & related
- Opposites and closely related words, in the language you are learning.
- Part of speech
- noun, verb, adjective…
- Register
- Marks informal, formal, vulgar or offensive words.
- Emoji
- A picture hint for concrete words (💧 water). Most abstract words have none.
- Concept ID
- A tiny code at the bottom of the card (e.g. word-water). If you find a mistake while studying in Anki, include this code in your report so we can find the exact entry.
- Reverse cards
- Adds a second card per word: your language → the language you learn. On reverse cards everything about the learned word moves to the answer side so nothing gives the answer away.
- Type the answer
- On reverse cards you type the word instead of just recalling it. Anki compares your spelling with the main form (articles included, stress and vowel marks ignored).
Card captions, such as “예문”, are in Korean.
Modules
A word that belongs to several modules is in the deck once. Each module opens AnkiGen with just that module chosen; you can add more there.
