What is the connection or difference between lemma and synset in wordnet? : <p>I am a complete beginner to NLP and NLTK. </p>

<p>I was not able to understand the exact <strong><em>difference between lemmas and synsets in wordnet</em></strong>, because both are producing nearly the same output. for example for the word cake it produce this output.</p>

<pre><code>lemmas :  [Lemma('cake.n.01.cake'), Lemma('patty.n.01.cake'), Lemma('cake.n.03.cake'), Lemma('coat.v.03.cake')]

synsets :  [Synset('cake.n.01'), Synset('patty.n.01'), Synset('cake.n.03'), Synset('coat.v.03')]
</code></pre>

<p>please help me to understand this concept.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
