Disable lemmatization

Can we have a setting which allows saving separate word forms?
Currently, if I mark some verb as known, all it forms are marked as such. This allows to do less redundant clicks, so may seem as an advantage to some people.
But on the beginner level I actually prefer the more traditional model used by apps like Lingq, which treats each word form as a separate word. It’s especially valuable for flective languages with many irregulars. For example, if I know what “soy” means in Spanish, it doesn’t mean that I know the meaning of “fuiste”.
I don’t think it would be too hard to implement. The most difficult part is to decide what to do, when user switches between modes, when he already has a few words saved.

This is such a good idea, seconded!
Maybe making it a toggle switch in the setting so people who like it can leave it on but other ppl can turn it off?

Good point!
Each word form should be treated as a separate one.
Probably there could be cases when it does not make sense :thinking:
Anyway the example with Spanish is a good one

Dont remove lemmatization, maybe it should be a toggle. Lemmatization is very very useful for my use case.
