Pros

  • Wiktionary which are perfectly fine for most use cases.
  • It's free, you don't have to download anything, and it's better than dictionary apps most of the time.
  • Wiktionary is a great source, I wouldn’t discourage anyone from using it.
  • There are other online resouces that will show you the shifted syllable joint [like for example here](https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/herein).
  • Wiktionary.org is a great dictionary, and completely free

Cons

  • Wiktionary is a great source, even if it might be less good than academic sources.
  • it's worth noting that Wiktionary doesn't always give full or complete information though, which makes sense for a completely community-created dictionary
  • Just surfing around on wiktionary isn't really that productive because you don't even know where these verbs come from in the first place.
  • For a start, don't use Wiktionary. It's just not very good most of the time. Many of the meanings that don't have examples are questionable.

Um mal wiktionary zu zitieren: "The word is generally used only for mathematics as a school subject or scientific field. Therefore it virtually never occurs with any articles, determiners, or adjectives. When it does, it is normally feminine after Mathematik (and this is the only gender listed in dictionaries), but it might also be treated as neuter."

Wiktionary is good for this. Aside from definitions they give genders, declensions, conjugations and sometimes usage notes.

I frequently look up words in Wiktionary. ... It is also helpful for genders, declensions and conjugations and sometimes has usage tips.
