| Its the word of course. You need words for sentences. |

| Without the whole sentence, it's not always possible to understand the meaning. Take the word "lighter" as an example. Does this mean a cigarette lighter, or does it refer to an object that is not as heavy as another? Or a room with a bigger window than the last? |

| "you need word for sentences"...ya, and don't you need character for words? so this is the basic unit? |

| I voted for word, but I think the basic unit of meaning is morpheme, which is more accurate than just ,,word´´ |
