Can I add something? I notice that {jibni} has been given a simplified tran= slation that reads something like "similar, close in properties".

The full definitions are almost exactly the same, too, = which is why my simplied definition (the ones used in Memrise) are so close= . The words are almost exactly the same in meaning.

From the notes (in simsa), I'd say that two Golden Delicious apples ca= n be both simsa and jibni, a picture (or painting) is simsa (assuming it's = of something that exists in real life, like a landscape or still life), and= a length of string which is .01 cm shorter than another string is jibni.

I propose to = change {zmadu}s definition to "x1 is more than or exceeds x2 in x3 by amoun= t x4" hereby it would be easier to memorise its meaning, because to me the = similarity of "x1 exceeds or is more than x2 in x3 by amount x4" to "x= 1 is an excess of x2 by standard x3" is hindering my learning effort.

What do you guys think?

.u'i O= n the other hand, of course i could simply try to read the definition more = carefully, but due to the timers i always feel like i'm in a hurry...
