«genuinely» in the school dictionary: its 2 meanings for a pupil and its 6 examples, every sentence parsed by Mova itself — its syntax tree, a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, and its pragmatics clause by clause. The word in the dictionary, with its sense in the lessons: [genuinely in the school dictionary](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/dictionaries/school/w/genuinely.md).
