2.0 out of 5 stars Too much emphasis on formal vocabulary, May 19, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: English-Hindi Dictionary (Hippocrene Practical Dictionary) (Paperback)
In general, this dictionary lists the Hindi word used in formal contexts, where words of Sanskrit origin are more common, and doesn't list the words that are used in informal contexts, where people tend to use words of Perso-Arabic origin. For example, for the word "question," the dictionary lists "prashna" when most speakers would say "savaal." If you use the words listed in this dictionary, people will tell you (as they told me) that you sound as though you're a character from "Mahaabhaarat," the ancient Indian epic.

3.0 out of 5 stars From a beginner..., March 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: English-Hindi Dictionary (Hippocrene Practical Dictionary) (Paperback)
I'm sure this is a wonderful dictionary but if you are a beginner like me, it is not very helpful because it does not have the words translated into roman script.
