Tools

Notes

• All data comes from Duden's public word pages (free, no key, no login).

• Meanings are the numbered definitions from the word entry; synonyms are the ones listed on the entry (the dedicated /synonyme/<word> overview page only lists alphabetical navigation, so it is linked, not parsed).

• Word URLs use Duden's transliterated slug (ä→ae, ö→oe, ü→ue, ß→ss); lookup tries the transliterated form first, then the raw spelling.

• Ambiguous headwords redirect: sein → sein_Hilfsverb, haben → haben_Hilfsverb / haben_Vollverb. The tools follow Duden's own redirects, and duden_conjugate resolves the suffixed conjugation page through the word entry when the bare /konjugation/<verb> URL 404s.

• Hyphenation marks syllable breaks with · (Duden itself writes a soft hyphen or pipe).

• Conjugation tables include the reflexive pronouns Duden lists (e.g. laufe (mich/mir) for laufen).
