Look up conjugated and declined words in an offline dictionary
By Grove LLC · Updated
The short answer
An inflection-aware dictionary can connect a conjugated or declined form to its headword. Verbik lets you search the form you encounter, see why it matched, and inspect the grammar offline on iPhone.
Search the form you actually encountered
A dictionary entry may be organized under a headword while a sentence contains a changed form. If you do not already know the headword, a basic exact-word search can leave you guessing which entry to open.
Verbik supports headwords, inflected forms, English meanings, and transliterations. Choose the language first, then enter the form from the text. Review the explanation of the match rather than assuming that the first result fits every sentence.
Read the entry in context
Use this sequence when you encounter an unfamiliar word in a message, book, or exercise. The dictionary is a reference; the surrounding sentence still matters when choosing among meanings.
- Choose Russian, Spanish, Italian, French, European Portuguese, or Hebrew.
- Search the spelling or form you found in the text.
- Check which headword and grammatical form matched.
- Compare the entry's meanings with the surrounding sentence.
- Review pronunciation and save a useful entry to favorites.
Know what works offline
Verbik's six core dictionaries, grammar entries, search, favorites, and synthetic pronunciation work offline after access is verified. Optional native-speaker audio needs an internet connection. This distinction matters if you are preparing for a flight, travel, or a place with unreliable reception.
Verbik is free to download, with monthly or annual Pro subscriptions for full access and practice games. Existing lifetime purchases retain access. Check the local price, any eligible trial, and renewal terms before purchase. Language-specific entries can show conjugations, declensions, cases, stress, aspect, roots, transliteration, and pronunciation where applicable. Not every language uses every category, so read the grammar for the language you selected.
Before relying on the app offline, open a few entries you expect to use and test the features you need. The official Verbik site and App Store listing are the best places to check current availability and purchase details.
