L-F-J Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:28 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:28 PM With Chinese-English dictionaries it just gives what the word is in the other language. The English-English dictionaries give detailed meanings and example sentences. This would be much more useful in Chinese than a simple Chinese-English dictionary. Even if I don't know the characters in the explanations and example sentences, I have a Chinese-English dictionary that I can translate with. So does anyone know a good online Chinese-Chinese dictionary? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-F-J Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:30 PM Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:30 PM By the way, I found one but it didn't have search results for 就像 or 就好像. Hopefully there is a good dictionary with compound words like this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:35 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:35 PM In what kind of dictionary do you expect to find 就像 or 就好像 ? NB: These are not compound words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-F-J Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:41 PM Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:41 PM lol Okay, I guess they aren't! But it is a sort of expression "just like" which if I didn't know how to use I'd just have to ask some Chinese friends, I guess. In that case, I may have found a good dictionary. But I'll be happy to take suggestions for other ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:48 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 at 06:48 PM By the way, I found one and what, it's a secret online dictionary that we aren't allowed to know about? Link us up! With Chinese-English dictionaries it just gives what the word is in the other language. Dictionaries designed for learners of the source language, such as the ABC dictionary, will give you English meaning, plus Chinese example sentences. Roddy PS. And where's this English-English dictionary with an entry for 'just like' then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-F-J Posted February 27, 2006 at 02:10 AM Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 at 02:10 AM Yeah, sorry! I did a google search for 汉语字典 and found some good links but they weren't really as helpful. I then realized the website I had been using often actually has a Chinese-Chinese dictionary on it with example sentences. This is the site: http://www.chinese-tools.com/ What can be found there: Learn Chinese Free Online Lessons Tools Annotation Calligraphy studio Your name in Chinese Get your Chinese Sign Converters Traditional to Simplified Simplified to Traditional Pinyin Marks >> More converters Dictionaries Chinese - English Chinese - French Chinese - Spanish Chinese - Chinese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
