I have to read three contexts! and in this particular case, it's three difficult contexts, and a word that I don't remember the meaning of :)

I will just add that with Italian the contexts get a bit out of hand - maybe we could do something that filters long contexts? We talked about this before and maybe it would be a fix for this issue:

I think having a filter for long contexts would be nice for situations like Tiago's, but it wouldn't solve the issue in Mircea's case.
The LIX rating of the longest context in the example is 41, which in Denmark is considered medium difficulty, in the US difficulty equivalent to 9th grade reading, and in Germany it's considered children's literature. That is just to say that it would be difficult to design a filter that correctly determines the difficulty of contexts in all supported languages and that length isn't a good indicator of that.

But maybe this tells us something about difficulty being more complex than the separation into receptive/productive and recognition/recall?
