Alternate answers to vocab cards

#1

A lot of vocab cards, where the word being tested is a verb, have an alternate answer that is the dictionary form of the verb.

For example in the screenshot below, the valid answers are:

  • はし(っていく)
  • はしる(っていく)

I’m only studying N5 so maybe I haven’t learned about this yet, but the second option isn’t a form I recognise.

Is the second answer really correct form?

My assumption is that this option is not there to serve as an example of correct form, but is there so that I can still answer the question if I know the dictionary form of the verb, but may not yet know what the correct stem is.

But I’d appreciate having that confirmed or denied, thank you :slight_smile:

Your assumption is correct. Once you know the conjugations well enough, this won’t be as confusing. It’s nice to have this feature for vocabulary reviews where there about 5 different possible words that might be correct and the dictionary form is still accepted along with the properly conjugated form used in the sentence.
