5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the best Welsh-English dictionary I have used,
By Preston Jones (Healdsburg, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Welsh/English-English/Welsh Dictionary (Hippocrene Standard Dictionary) (Paperback)
Having worn my copy of this dictionary out I chose to buy in its place Y Geriadur Mawr. I soon regretted my choice, however, as the Geriadur does not have many of the more recently coined Welsh words. I recommend this dictionary highly to all Welsh learners

A Decent, but Flawed Reference,
By
This review is from: Welsh/English-English/Welsh Dictionary (Hippocrene Standard Dictionary) (Paperback)
When I initially bought this dictionary I was very pleased in purchasing it; I was particularly delighted over the number of entries in the dictionary. After a while, I did notice some shortcomings in it. Despite its good number of entries, the dictionary does not explain the usage of multiple word entries and the difference between them. I recommend the use of Gareth King's Modern Welsh Dictionary (which has fewer entries, but functions also as a reference grammar), which is more suitable for beginners. It is a good dictionary, but it is simply that: a dictionary and nothing more. It seems to me to be more suited for more advanced students.

OK for what it is,
By A Customer
This review is from: Welsh/English-English/Welsh Dictionary (Hippocrene Standard Dictionary) (Paperback)
This dictionary is identical to _Y Geiriadur Cyfoes_, published in Wales in 1992. Its editor is H. Meurig Evans, M.A., not "M.A. Evans H. Meurig," as Amazon has it. check the author listing to see other editions, but don't click on the name as it's given on this Web page! As is evident from the sample pages, there are a lot of entries, but individual entries are very short. An early-stage learner should consider Gareth King's _Pocket Modern Welsh Dictionary_, which has a much shorter entry list but a great deal more information per entry. Price is comparable.
