English-Marathi Dictionary (English, Arabic, Hardcover)

A translation of the Oxford Learner's Pocket Dictionary, this dictionary gives complete information (pronunciation, grammar and meaning) for over 26,000 words and phrases in standard and easy Marathi. It gives concise and clear definitions with practical usage and illustrations that one comes across in day-to-day life. Apart from giving idiom equivalents in Marathi wherever possible, it gives a large number of synonymous Marathi words which help to explain the headword in all its shades of meaning. Being learner-oriented the dictionary gives a lot of information which includes i) Formal/informal usage ii) British/American and in some cases Indian pronunciation iii) Specific fields to which certain words belong (computing, law, etc) iv) Countable and uncountable nouns v) Idioms and phrasal verbs vi) Particular prepositions which regularly follow many verbs, adjectives and nouns vii) Spelling and pronunciation of the past tense and past participle of a verb when they are irregular. All this makes it probably the only dictionary to give complete information about a word in easy and standard Marathi.
