I have just recently unlocked some vocabs for both ten thousand and mother, and am becoming somewhat frustrated. The two vocabs for ten thousand are [ma-n] and [i-chi-ma-n], however the hints for them are exactly the same, Ten Thousand. The same situation arises for mother with the vocabs [ha-ha] and [o-ka-a-sa-n], both of which have the hint Mother, Mom. Am i just supposed to guess which of the two vocabs it is asking me for, or am I missing something?
I will add that I have not been able to tell if WaniKani will just accept either answer. But I can say with certainty that at least KaniWani does not accept either answer. As even though the hints are the same for both vocabs, it only accepts one answer, causing me to fail those vocabs when they appear in my review as it becomes a guessing game of which vocab it is.
Would be grateful for any advice and/or tricks that could maybe help me with this!
Thank you for the distinction about the use of the mother vocabs. Not something I was aware of, and I will keep it in mind!
I potentially frased my question a bit oddly, but the main problem I was having was in the reviews with knowing when to use which when the hints are the same. But as Leebo pointed out, it is possible to add user synonyms, which I wasn’t aware of. This should hopefully solve my problem.
Thanks for the heads up! I had already picked up on the fact that it syncs up once a day or so. So I will patiently wait for the new synonyms to appear in my reviews.
