Save words as their lexeme, rather than their conjugated form.
I find that when I am learning vocabulary, I need to learn the word in it's unconjugated form first, then learn to apply the grammar rules later. It would be nice if there was a toggle feature than allows you to save the word as its lexeme, or if it could be automatically included as part of the word list.
For example (in French):
Français: Fais
Lexeme: Faire
Context: Je fais un gâteau.

I think the problem is that for languages with rich inflection and declension, where a single word may have many forms, the readlang's approach which concentrates on individual forms is possibly not optimal. E.g. my wordlist contains these entries:
gifts Monet ovat [[lahjoja]].
gift Ehkä se on joku [[lahja]]
your gift Tässä on muuten sinun [[lahjasi]].relationship Yhtenä päivänä Juulia saa tietää, että Matiaksella on [[suhde]] toiseen naiseen.
GEN: relationship Selma Vilhusen uusi elokuva Neljä pientä aikuista kysyy, pitääkö [[suhteen]] mennä rikki?It would be useful if
1) upon clicking the word in the text, the dictionary form would also appear (e.g. upon clicking "shook", somewhere nearby I could read "shake"),
2) the flashcards could be merged into one, with an indication which form is the dictionary form,
3) the flashcard text could contain facultative parts of a phrase (e.g. '[to] shake', '[der/des/dem/den] Tisch'),
4) I could indicate additional information for testing (e.g. 'shake, shook, shook' or 'der Tisch') and/or which of the forms given is the main form.
