9. Entry dialog

9.1 General properties

Here you enter a new expression into a table cell or modify existing entries and their properties.

Expression

Contains your data.

Pronunciation

In this field you can describe how the word is pronunciated. Currently this is only possible in ascii characters. Maybe I can find a way to do this with the phonetic alphabet.

Type

Lets you choose one of the predefined types for your expression. If you change the type for an entry, all the other entries in that row will be assigned the new type.

See the table for all available types.

Subtype

Some types also include subtypes. If there is no subtype available this field is disabled.

Every entry in a row can have a different subtype. This is useful for nouns as the gender of a noun may be different in different languages.

The button right to this field invokes the according page from the document properties dialog so you can enter a new type immediately.

Usage label

One or more usage labels can be selected to describe the usual usage of the expression, e.g. medicine or chemistry.

The button on the right also invokes the document properties dialog to enter a new usage label.

Lesson

Selects the desired lesson.

The button on the right also invokes the document properties dialog to enter a new lesson.

9.2 Additional properties

Less important properties that did not find place on the previous page are located here.

For most of these fields there are special queries, too.

Synonym

Here you max enter words that have the same meaning as the expression. There is also a query type for this expression.

Antonym

This is for words that have the opposite meaning. This field can also be queried.

Example

Additionally you may enter here an example sentence for the expression. There is a simple query type which prompts you with the content of this field but with dots instead of the word in question.

Remark

This is an optional field to store additional information.

Paraphrase

Here you may enter a description in different words. There is also a query type for this expression.

9.3 Additional properties for verbs

This page is only accessible when you selected verb as word type.

For every tense kvoctrain knows you can enter the conjugations of the verb for the different persons. The tense can be selected from the list. After doing this the entry fields are updated accordingly.

Because some languages don't distinguish in the 3rd person plural you may use the according checkbox.

Next searches for the next tense with already entered conjugations.

9.4 Additional properties for adjectives

This page is only accessible when you selected adjective as word type.

Here you just enter the the comparison forms of the adjective.

9.5 Properties from or to the original

For some properties it is possible to set up values from the original or to the original. For example you can have a grade when querying the translation (=> from). The opposite is the grade when querying the original when one of the translations is given(=> to).

Grade

Contains the current grade of this expression.

False friend

Sometimes there is a word in a foreign language that looks like a word in your native language so you think it must have the same meaning. But in fact, it is not.

Enter such words in this field.

Last query date

This is the date when this entry was last queried. If it was never queried yet you only see "--".

For convinience reasons there are two buttons to set the current date or reset to "never queried".

Due to internal reasons, it is not possible to store dates before Aug. 12 1999 with every version of kvoctrain!

Query count

Designates how often this entry was queried.

Bad count

Shows the amount of times you did not know the right answer.
