Displaying synonyms on the card
I think it would be convenient and useful if, in card view, the original word I want to learn had its synonyms displayed as well. There could be an option for this — for example, a small eye icon to reveal the synonyms. Or they could be shown by default.
I believe it would improve memorization, because linking the new word to a synonym you already know helps you remember it more easily.

user comment: "I believe that when memorizing individual words, associating them with other words can greatly aid memorization. This includes using cognates, synonyms, or antonyms. Here are some practical functional suggestions: --Add a "Association Words" button to the word cards. Clicking this button will show the verb base form, adjectives, adverbs, etc., that cognate with the word. Also, add the ability for users to add their own cognates, with frequently added words serving as default association words. --If the above features are too costly, a simple note-taking function can be added to the word cards. Users can jot down association words or other memorization aids in their notes, which will then be displayed on the word card by default for easy browsing. Additionally, an automatic target language word recognition function can be added to the notes, adding hyperlinks to the user-added words, which will then redirect to the corresponding word card."
