PONS VS dict.cc

When in doubt, use a dictionary: https://en.pons.com/translate. Source: about 1 year ago

I use PONS often, because it gives you multiple definitions, example sentences, a quick overview of the grammatical information you may need and also in my case it also includes a German<->Greek dictionary which sometimes help me understand the meaning better or allows me to find a word in German that I also lack in English.

Machine translators like google translate (or the superior deepl.com) are good tools to get the gist of a text in a foreign language, but they're not ideal learning tools. I would suggest to use an actual dictionary like leo.org, dict.cc, or pons.com when it comes to word definitions and distinctions between alternatives. Source: over 2 years ago

Anyway, dict.cc says sich anhören is nur unpersönlich. So, I guess I can't use it to describe people? Like, Sie hört sich seltsam an would be incorrect? Source: 7 months ago

So, I looked up excitement on dict.cc. It gave me...die Aufregung, die Begeisterung, die Spannung, die Erregung...which of these words would you all use for the general concept of "excitement?". Source: 7 months ago

In Scandinavian (Swedish for example), verb loanwords end in '-era', while in the very similar German language, verb loanwords end in '-ieren' (eg, das Auto zu parkieren). But you see, until a spelling reform in approx. 1907, the spelling was '-iren'. LEO doesn't have 'assentieren', but dict.cc does. However, these two Websites I named are really wordlists, not dictionaries. Source: 11 months ago

I thought this word would also exist in English, maybe with a little difference at best. My translator (dict.cc) recommends autarkic, autarkical (both with 'k', surprisingly) and autarchic. But my online spellchecker here underlines all of them with a red line. Source: about 1 year ago
