4.0 out of 5 stars A very useful dictionary, relative to its size, April 28, 2000

This review is from: Berlitz Bilingual Dictionary (Paperback)

This dictionary is small even for a pocket dictionary (14x10x1.5 [cm] or 5.6x4x0.6 [inch] ), and yet - surprisingly helpful. The Turkish-English part has some very good explanations about pronunciation and grammar, a list of food and drinks, Turkish abbreviations, numerals and time. It also has some basic phrases. All these - in English. The English-Turkish part has the same explanations about the English language - written in Turkish. The vocabulary, on the other hand, is quite limited.

When I bought the dictionary, I knew only a few words in Turkish, and no grammar at all, and at that stage this dictionary was quite adequate. Later on, however, I needed a much more detailed dictionary, with a larger vocabulary. In praise of this dictionary, I have to say that I haven't found in any other dictionary such good grammatical explanations like in this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE!, December 4, 2001

For anyone wanting a turkish dictionary, get this one!. I can say i use this almost everyday. The words have "mak" or "ak" at the end of them which usually means "to". For example. "Bakmak" this means "to look" where as "bak" just means "look". In the middle of of the dictionary between the turkish and the english there is a sort of quick refrence guide i guess you can say. It includes a menu, basic phrases, time, and abbreviations. It's great.

3.0 out of 5 stars somewhat helpful book, August 7, 2001

The book helped me with a lot of simple words. However, some of my turkish friends who viewed the book found quite a few errors with words, spelling, meanings, etc...
