1.0 out of 5 stars
an almost completely useless dictionary, April 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Yoruba-English/English-Yoruba Concise Dictionary (Paperback)
i found the dictionary to be more frustrating than helpful as a learning aid to Yoruba. There are innumerable amazing omissions, and equally bizarre inclusions - why have the yoruba word for "kwashiorkor" and no word for "room"? Take any common term, "inside" for example, and you will find no equivalent for it. While I respect that the author has certainly listed a lot of words, most of them have little practical use. I would recommend the publishers to find another yoruba dictionary, because I felt I was well and truly ripped off

Missing so much it is just utterly disappointing for the user. Please make a legitimate, usable dictionary available.
