If you're reading something and you don't understand a word, should you stop and research it or should you keep reading the whole thing first? (lemmy.world)

How important is the word? how much do you understand? Oiten it is enugh to know what functon the word has: that something is an adverb (a term I can not longer define, but I under stand what it does when I see one) I don't need an exact definition. sometimes it I figure it out from context - maybe after seeing it again. Sometimes I never see the word again so who cares. Sometimes I see the word repeatedly and so I look it up to be sure. Sometimes the word is critical to understanding so I look it up righ away.

i'm learning spanish, just this week I have used ekery variation on the above.
