is it possible to change a dictionary list to lowercase..without having

You've posted a few similar type questions lately that look suspiciously like homework exercises. If that is the case we are still happy to help but we try to avoid giving you the answer directly.
And we do like to see what you have tried first.

i have tried definitions=definitions.lower()

Thats a start but as you found out doesn't even execute.

Others have suggested some options but it would help us if you tell us which version of Python you are using because Python 3 offers some different mechanisms to Python v2. (You can tell us the OS too for completeness but it probably doesn't make much difference for the questions you have been asking)
