How Gata keeps Armenian word forms connected

TL;DR

In lesson 28, գնում ես means “you are going.” Gata links the form shown on screen to գնալ, “to go,” and keeps that link when the form returns in practice. In the Library, every Armenian word can open the same dictionary.

Lesson 28 asks about direction and person

Lilit watches Mariam move away from a studio. The learner chooses between գնում ես, գալիս ես, and գնում եմ. All three are valid Armenian forms.

The scene sets the direction: Mariam is going, not coming. The auxiliary sets the person: Lilit addresses Mariam informally. Only գնում ես satisfies both conditions.

The dictionary starts from the form on screen

A learner meets inflected forms, not only dictionary headwords. For գնում ես, the dictionary shows the lemma գնալ and the relevant analysis: second-person singular, present, indicative, and informal address.

The lesson links directly to that entry. The learner does not have to work backward from the inflected form or guess which headword to search for.

Practice returns what the lesson introduced

Forms met in lessons can become study cards with spaced review. Scheduled review and voluntary practice remain separate, so repeating a deck does not replace a review that is due.

The connection to the dictionary remains intact. A review card can preserve the gloss and grammatical context from the lesson that introduced it.

The Library uses the same dictionary for full sentences

The published Lavash entry opens its Armenian reading path with this sentence:

Հայկական սեղանին լավաշը ամենօրյա հաց է և հյուրասիրության նշան։

Each word opens its dictionary entry. Selecting սեղանին, for example, reveals սեղան and its case analysis. The sentence does not become a separate reading tool with a separate vocabulary list.

The link stays intact

Recognition, recall, production, and reading are different tasks. Wherever a form appears, the learner sees the same lemma and grammatical explanation. There is no separate vocabulary list to reconcile with the course.
