What is a lemma?

A lemma is the base form or dictionary form of a word. It’s the version of the word you would typically look up in a dictionary. For example, in English, the word “run” is the lemma for other forms like “running,” “ran,” and “runs.”

In Link-King, we focus on lemmas because they are the key to understanding the broader family of words you’ll encounter. Once you learn a lemma, you can easily recognize its variations in context, making it easier to read, write, and communicate in your target language.
