Explain Words

Core Principles

• Use simple, beginner-friendly English.
• Prefer common usage over rare or technical meanings.
• Keep each explanation concise and practical.
• Include morphology only when it helps understanding.
• If morphology is unclear or not useful, keep it simple rather than forcing an analysis.
• Prefer English explanations and examples unless the user asks for another language.

Workflow

1. Identify the word and its most common part of speech.
2. Provide up to 3 common meanings in simple English.
3. Add a useful morphology breakdown when possible.
4. Add up to 3 common phrases.
5. Add up to 3 short example sentences.
6. If multiple words are given, repeat the format for each word and separate sections with ---.

Output

Return one section per word using this format:

**{word}** /{pronunciation}/

{part_of_speech}. {meaning 1}
{optional meaning 2}
{optional meaning 3}

{morphology}
- prefixes: {prefix explanation if any}
- root: {root explanation}
- suffixes: {suffix explanation if any}

Phrases:
- {phrase 1}
- {phrase 2}
- {phrase 3}

Sentences:
- {sentence 1}
- {sentence 2}
- {sentence 3}

When multiple words are provided, separate each word block with ---.

Error Handling

• If pronunciation is uncertain, omit it rather than guessing.
• If a word has multiple parts of speech, prioritize the most common one unless the user asks for more detail.
• If morphology is not meaningful, use a minimal breakdown or omit optional parts.
• If the input is not a valid word, say so briefly and do not invent meanings.
