4.0 out of 5 stars A good buy for serious students of Bahasa Indonesia
This dictionary and its companion volume "An English-Indonesian Dictionary" I have found to be comprehensive and up-to-date. A very useful feature is the many examples of word usage in complete sentences. Where words are used only in a particular region (mostly in Java) this is indicated.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing
This dictionary is a big disappointment. There is no information on indonesian grammer. It does have a pronounciation guide but it lacks many things that you expect a dictionary to have. I'm sending my copy back.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good buy for serious students of Bahasa Indonesia, June 14, 2000
This review is from: An Indonesian-English Dictionary (Hardcover)
This dictionary and its companion volume "An English-Indonesian Dictionary" I have found to be comprehensive and up-to-date. A very useful feature is the many examples of word usage in complete sentences. Where words are used only in a particular region (mostly in Java) this is indicated. When trying to understand newpaper articles (e.g. from the Internet) I have come across almost no words that haven't been in the dictionary. Altogether the dictionary pair were a very good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars De facto standard for those Japanese who study Indonesian la, December 30, 1999
This review is from: An Indonesian-English Dictionary (Hardcover)
This dictionary is de facto standard for those Japanese who study Indonesian language. It contains many modern words, colloquial words and abbreviations. It also covers idioms. I've been using this dictionary for almost 20 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down, the best Indonesian dictionary around, November 9, 2002
By 
JFMP (Hanoi, Vietnam) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Indonesian-English Dictionary (Hardcover)
We spent two years in Indonesia and lived by this volume (and its companion Indonesian-English volume). There is simply no comparison with any other dictionary in publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Comprehensive I've Seen, January 30, 2002
By 
Cap'n Co (Fall River, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Along with its companion Kamus Inggris-Bahasa Indonesia, the best and most comprehensive I've seen. This is not a grammar. Try Malcom Mintz' A Student's Grammar of Malay and Indonesian for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Most Popular Dictionary in Indonesia, February 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: An Indonesian-English Dictionary (Hardcover)
The most popular and the most-widely used dictionary in Indonesia. Yet, this dictionary suffers a little bit in the translation because some of the words listed are not Indonesian (instead, it's Malaysian) or old vocabulary. However, in general , this should be one of the best dictionary of its kinds.
