This deck was modified when it was brought in: Extracted from the English Wiktionary through kaikki.org and rearranged by Memoquiz. (1) Article: Wiktionary states the gender as a grammatical tag, not as an article; the matching definite article (der, die, das) is placed before the noun by Memoquiz, and any noun carrying more than one gender is dropped rather than arbitrated. (2) Selection: only lemmas are kept — every sense tagged as an inflected form, an alternative spelling or an abbreviation is dropped; an entry whose first sense falls to those filters is dropped whole rather than shown through a secondary sense; and a headword listed under several etymologies is read once, on its first entry only, so that der Fall does not become das Fall. (3) Order: the hundred and fifty headwords retained are the most frequent in the Tatoeba German corpus, counted only where the word is capitalised and preceded by a determiner so that the noun is measured and not the pronoun or preposition it shares its spelling with; Wiktionary itself carries no frequency. The English definitions are reproduced word for word.
