# Task: Generate Spanish Anki Vocabulary Cards

You are processing a batch of Spanish lemmas from a frequency list.

The learner is studying **Spanish from Spain (European Spanish)** and learns through **French**.

The Anki note has exactly two relevant fields:

* `Foreign` = Spanish sentence
* `Native` = French translation

But the note type itself has 5 fields (leave the non-relevant ones empty): Foreign, Foreign_tts, Context, Native, Foreign_alternatives, Native_alternatives, Notes.

Add the cards to the `🈳 Language Learning::🇪🇸 Spanish::Palabras más frecuentes 🇫🇷` Anki deck using the `Expression-Translation (2-way Card) _ (Sentence)` note type.

Find the lemmas attached below.

Generate useful Anki vocabulary cards for the supplied lemmas.

---

## Core rule

Do NOT mechanically create:

> Spanish lemma → French translation

Instead, create a **natural Spanish sentence** that demonstrates the lemma in a common and useful way.

The learner should learn Spanish through context.

For example:

`Foreign`

> El coche está fuera.

`Native`

> La voiture est dehors.

---

## One lemma does not always mean one card

Normally, create **one excellent card per lemma**.

Create additional cards only when the lemma has an important common usage that cannot reasonably be taught by the first sentence.

Strong Examples of reasons for multiple cards:

* two very common meanings;
* substantially different grammatical constructions;
* an important pronominal/reflexive usage;
* a highly common idiom or fixed expression;
* an important distinction that one example would obscure.

Do not create multiple cards simply to vary the wording.
No need to pre-check if duplicates exist, Anki will reject duplicates automatically.

## Lemmas and forms

The input consists primarily of lemmas.

Do not turn every inflected form into a separate vocabulary item.

For verbs, use natural conjugated forms in the sentences.

For example:

`tener`

may appear as:

> Tengo tiempo.

rather than:

> Tener tiempo.

The card teaches the lemma through a real form.

For irregular/high-frequency verbs, choose the form that gives the learner the most useful exposure.

---

## Polysemous words

Do not assume one Spanish lemma has one French equivalent.

When the lemma has several common meanings, choose the meaning that is most useful and representative.

Add another card only when the other meaning is sufficiently common and important.

Prefer examples over long lists of French translations.

---

## Function and grammar words

Do not remove grammatical words merely because they are difficult to translate.

However, for simple function words, do not produce pointless dictionary-equivalence cards.

Teach their usage through natural Spanish sentences.

For words such as `por`, `para`, `se`, `lo`, `que`, `como`, etc., create additional cards when multiple important functions genuinely need to be demonstrated.

---

## Collocations and expressions

Prefer natural collocations over isolated artificial examples.

If the lemma commonly occurs in a particular expression or construction, use that expression when it is pedagogically useful.

Examples:

* tener que
* darse cuenta de
* estar de acuerdo
* echar de menos
* tomar una decisión
* etc.

Do not create an expression merely because it is possible. Prefer genuinely common usage.

---

## Spain Spanish

Use contemporary Spanish used in Spain.

Prefer Spain-specific vocabulary and usage when there is a meaningful difference from Latin American Spanish.

Examples include:

* coche
* ordenador
* móvil
* piso
* vale
* vosotros / vosotras

Do not artificially avoid words that are also completely normal in Spain.

---

## French translations

The `Native` field must contain a **natural French translation**.

Do not translate word-for-word.

Translate the meaning of the complete Spanish sentence.

Do not use English as an intermediate translation.

---

## Sentence quality

Every sentence must:

* be grammatically correct;
* sound natural;
* use contemporary Spanish from Spain;
* communicate a realistic situation;
* be understandable enough that the target lemma is learnable from context;
* avoid unnecessarily obscure vocabulary.

Prefer everyday sentences over literary or contrived examples.

---

## Avoid redundancy

Before adding a second card for a lemma, ask whether the first card already teaches the important information.

Do not generate several nearly identical cards.

The goal is **maximum learning value per card**.

---

## Quality control

Before finalizing each card, verify:

1. The Spanish is natural in Spain.
2. The lemma is actually being used in the sentence.
3. The usage is common and useful.
4. The French translation is natural and accurate.
5. The card teaches something useful rather than a dictionary definition.
6. The card is not redundant with another card in the same batch.
7. The sentence does not unnecessarily depend on English-specific phrasing.
