Does anyone have an opinion about the best Turkish-English/English-Turkish dictionary? I am a native English speaker. I would like something that is not just a pocket dictionary.

Thanks!

I think that the Redhouse Turkish English Dictionary (Redhouse Sozlugu Turkce-Ingilizce) is the best and it isn't only my opinion.

as english-turkissh dictionary, u can buy oxford's....

Redhouse has also English-Turkish version, in pink cover

ozur,

Bence REDHOUSE tam olarak yeterli değil.
Bir de sözlüğü ne amaçla kullandığınız/kullanacağınız önemli.

Eğer başlangıç seviyesi içinse tamam ama akademik amaçlı kullanım olacaksa REDHOUSEsu kullanmanızı tavsiye etmem.

so, what do u propose instead, sht99?

bence gayet guzel bir sozluk..
redhousenin pocket yerine 1000 sayfalik sadece turkce-ingiliz olan sozlugu var..
onu tavsiye ederim..
ufak olanini degil

Unfortunately, at this point my Turkish language skills are almost non-existent, so i can't understand the replies written in Turkish. Can anyone help me out? Especially, what is the concern with the Redhouse dictionary? I really need to a dictionary off the net in a few days and need to know which one to get. Thanks.

sht99 said that Redhouse Dictionary wasn't enough if it was used in a particular subject. If u were a begginer it could be ok but if u wanted to use it for academical purposes it wasn't enough.
Duskahvesi said that in his opinion Redhouse was good, it had a 1000 pages so it wasn't small dictionary as it was only turkish-english (not turkish english, english-turkish-which version wouldn't contain so many words-in this meaning)and he recommeds this dictionary.

not begginer, beginner, sorry

Seticio, thank you for your help. And the others, as well.

I know monkban that u asked about turkish english distionary, but I think it's a good oppotunity to mention Baskakov's turkish-russian dictionary. I know russian language is a problem for most of turkish learners, but this dictionary is really good, so I recommend it to russian speaking users

I am a teacher.The best dictionary is Redhouse's big one(with blue cover)
teaches all the slangs and idioms.....

yes, this is the dictionary I was talking about...

I am looking for Baskakov, but can't find.They don't have Oxford either.It is hard to find good dictionary.I ordered from Tulumba a month ago.Waiting ....Yes you are right in first place we need good dictionary.

Oh, about Baskakov ask Duskahvesi! He was looking for this dictionary fo me and he foud it ( I hope Duskahvesi you don't mind mentioning it) He told the price is about 55$.
This is really good dictionary.

first u should ask me to mention it...

ok,I'm sorry for it, but I didn't think it's such a secret

it is not a secret..
it is just rule.. i gave it by private.. not in a general environent..
again the same thing happened..
and it seems that u will do it over and over..

many people thank u for sending different things, they mention it in Forum and it's not a problem for u, so why this time it's such a problem for u?

if u do sometihng, do it private and dont say anyone..
if u do smth, dont do it in front of people..
out friendship style is different..
and i cut the discussion..
at least mine is over...

about dictionaries...are there any thematic ones in turkish acaba

hi..what did you mean about thematic??I didnt understand well..

a thematic dictionary is one with words groupped not alphabetically but thematically. there are chapters/topics covering a given area of lexicon.
for example in "a house" chapter u can find words like "a table, a kitchen etc..."

ok I see...I will be out yesterday most probably and I can look some shops for it..

oh, could u? çok minnettar olacağım

No problema..I will try..If I help you,I will be pleased...

daydreamer
redhouse's big dictionary is enough for theamticallt either

but i already have it and i want a thematic one now

I really need to buy a dictionary, does anyone know where I can get one from???

Red house!! you can purchase it online I think...
