Online dictionaries with example sentences!!

[Strawberries513]

I am in a desperate search for online dictionaries that give lots of example sentences (the more the better). I already use dict.cn but sometimes thats not enough. Thank you!!

Try

http://hua.umf.maine.edu/Chinese/search.html

(University of Maine)

It does not only give a lot of examples but also a lot of audios...

Have fun.

I typed in "拼命" in both of them and neither gave me sentences. Maybe I am doing something wrong?? In the first one I selected "easy sentences"....

also, if anyone could give me some easy sentences with "拼命" in them I would greatly appreciate it. I have looked everywhere and not found any....

The best by far right now is www.dict.cn.

On the other hand In a few months we will have full blown sentences as examples for our users at www.gonzochinese.com. The good thing about our site is we will be constantly updating new sentences on a daily basis.

Cheers,

Are there any online sites/dictionaries (the Maine Uni link has some) which have pinyin sample sentences. Some books which have great pinyin/hanzi/English sample sentences which I use all the time are:

http://www.amazon.com/Tuttle-Learners-Chinese-English-Dictionary/dp/0804835527

http://www.amazon.com/Urban-Chinese-Mandarin-Century-China/dp/7561910908/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-2432546-6289609?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177904955&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Chinese-Minidictionary-Dictionary/dp/0198603649/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-2432546-6289609?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177905000&sr=1-1

(ignore the neg review, this is great for sample sentences)

Anybody know of others?
