Literal translation tools give you one answer. That answer has no register, no cultural context, and no way to know whether you're being warm or clinical.

So I built konid: it returns 3 options per query, ordered casual to formal, with the register of each one explained and a cultural note comparing them. It also plays audio pronunciation through your speakers via node-edge-tts — no external API key, no browser tab, just audio.
