Add base verb form and grammar explanation for conjugated verbs in reading mode

Suggestions

As a learner of Italian, I often encounter many verb conjugations that differ significantly from the base form. I would like to suggest that when I click on an unfamiliar verb in a text, Readlang should:

  1. Automatically add the infinitive (base) form of the verb to my word list (not the conjugated form).
  2. Provide a short grammar note explaining why that particular conjugation is used in context (e.g., tense, mood, subject agreement).
  3. Optionally include links to verb tables or highlight conjugation patterns for better understanding.

This would greatly enhance grammar awareness while reading and help users build a more accurate vocabulary base.

i also had that in mind, and for italian as well :face_with_peeking_eye: mainly the congiuntivo makes some mess

I third this suggestion!

I would also suggest making those fields exportable for people who are using Anki or other external flashcard software.

At the current level of the large language models, it should be a prettty trivial request to add and associate the infinitive form to any given conjugation. Readlang could also then group or consolidate all individual conjugated forms under one infinitive grouping.

Yes, I just came here to suggest that. Also, synonyms will be helpful to see if there´s a more common or familiar word.
