Yeah, I might try to work out the hint thing, but only if it becomes too big an issue. Is there any way to link two facts? As in, is there any way to link the two synonymous facts so that I can include all the synonyms in the answer to the English -> Finnish side? If not, what I might do is make individual cards for all of them, but put all synonyms in the main field that shows up on the English -> Finnish card in brackets. Then I'll just try to remember all of them. Again, if there are two words that are synonyms generally, but one has an additional meaning, then I'll remember it by the additional meaning instead.

The hint thing isn't that difficult to set up on a technical level. You just paste the
code into the question side of the template you're using, and replace EnglishHint with the name of whatever field has the hint you want. You'd need to remove the line breaks though, this forum seems to insert them in the middle of posts for some reason. I see 'block' got cut into 'bloc' and 'k'. Setting up useful hints can be annoying though. I find example sentences to be the least ambiguous, but it's not perfect. I got all my cards from a premade spreadsheet, which saved a lot of time since the sentences were already included. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Oh, OK, I understand now. I thought it linked to a separate document. That makes sense now though. My only issue is finding sentence examples for all these words. If I could do that though, I could not only use those sentences as hints, but for sentence mining as well. Should I just google the word I want an example of? Or search it on the Finnish wikipedia? Are there other ways of finding these sentences? The reason I'm asking is that many of the words I'm using don't come with very good examples, sometimes just one, so I'd end up using one sentence for quite a few words. I'll think about this though.

You could try an online Finnish dictionary, as it should have a unique sentence for each
word. At the very least, it would be a quick way to find them, since I would think every word in the dictionary would have an example sentence included, even if some of them are repeated. Also has the benefit of being grammatically correct. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ah, that's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks very much! I found a website that looks like it has good examples for almost everything, so that's a plus. I'll probably combine it with some resources, but that's for sure what I was looking for thanks!
