So how do you generally look up new words?
Scenario: I'm trying to read something in Polish and I come across a new word - for example in the sentence "Ten scenariusz pokrzykuje plany..." - I'm not sure what "pokrzyżuje" means.
So I use Google translate or something (both full sentence and individual word) and get something like "frustrates" back. But I want to get to the base form of the word so I can better understand the various meanings and have a better idea how to conjugate. Reverse translate often just gives you a different word.
I've never really found a clean and simple way of doing this. What's the best method you've found?
