dict.cc Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Klingen vs. sich anhören

  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: 6 months ago

• Excitement / I'm excited about...

  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: 6 months ago

• [German Slovak and Hungarian> English] Austro Hungarian Military Pack

  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: 10 months ago

• is there an app or a website or something with practice options to increase my vocab?

  You can use the vocab trainer on dict.cc. Source: 12 months ago

• What do you use your Carrier for?

  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: 12 months ago

• Advice for non-native English speakers

  You needn't look up every single word that you don't know, but maybe recurring ones (that you don't), it's much easier nowadays, I still started with physical dictionaries whose consultation took me much longer than these days with eg dict.cc (or wiki) on the phone or tablet next to my bed where I prefer to do my reading. Also, since I like to read fantasy, too, I remember to show off or unsettle my English... Source: 12 months ago

• Präposition

  What r_coefficient says. Plus, many times a verb will have an expected preposition. So when you learn a verb, look it up in a robust online dictionary such as LEO app or dict.cc app, to see the expected preposition, if there is one. Source: about 1 year ago

• Where can I find a resource where I can see both the german and english text available at the same time? Not Duolingo.

  Dict.cc won't do the complicated sentences like you're wanting but I find it to be an extremely useful resource as far as helping choose the correct words based on context and such, it's got more options than just a direct translation. Source: about 1 year ago

• Taufe Antonia Stifter

  Ux. Abbreviates the Latin word for wife, uxor. Ehelich 'legitimate' (born in wedlock). kath. Rel. = katholischer Religion 'of the Catholic religion'. Eheleute 'married couple'. gepr. = geprüft, 'certified'. For convenience, dict.cc, dict.leo.org. Source: about 1 year ago

• What is the English translation of of “sympatisch”?

  Oh, I didn't discover it until September of so! One of my favorite things to do is type in an English word, then click on the German translation for it. It gives you a lot of insight into what that word really means and if it is appropriate in a certain context. I also like dict.cc for practicing pronunciation. Google Translate, although I am not the biggest fan of it, is also good for this purpose. Source: about 1 year ago

• Correct pronunciation

  Dict.cc also offers pronunciation samples:. Source: about 1 year ago

• Apparently my laptop was updating and missed pp inspection day; better late than never I guess(The "Diagnosing your PC" message had turned into "Diagnosing your PP" for whatever reason)

  English words have often multiple (case sensitive) translations depending on the situation (TIPP: you can see this on dict.cc ) ... Source: about 1 year ago

• Is There An Online Platform for Practicing Pronunciation?

  I use forvo & dict.cc to hear how to pronounce words correctly, but it's not enough, I feel like I need a lot of work. Source: about 1 year ago

• difference between gewohnen and gewöhnen

  I'm fluent but not a native speaker, which means I know just as much about dictionaries as you do. I'm telling you to stop using any dictionary that is giving you old verb forms. When you look up "gewohnen" on dict.cc, absolutely nothing comes up. When you look it up on the Duden, it comes up but is marked as having been used in the 18th/19th centuries.

• What are the best German-English dictionaries that have their own app?

  I second dict.cc! I love that it has a bunch of synonyms so that you can better understand the connotation of the word you're looking up. Source: over 1 year ago

• [Gothic German > English] need help translating this OLD family recipe

  Kartoffel~. If you search on 'Kartoffel*' at dict.cc, you might recognize the mystery word in their search results. Source: over 1 year ago

• My experience playing Persona 5 Royal in German

  Yea, even as a strong B2 or a weak C1 in reading and writing (I have no clue at this point.) there were still a lot of words that I straight up couldn't guess and that's why I turned on voice acting. Of course not everything is voiced so I'd have to pull out ol' reliable dict.cc sometimes, but the game's themes definitely makes sure to have a fair bit of vocabulary stick in your head after playing.
