I like this bilingual dictionary.

This is a masterpiece and the only Amharic dictionary in my collection.

an Amharic learner's best friend

This is an indispensible resource for Amharic learners at all levels. Wolf Leslau was a pioneer in Ethiopic studies and this dictionary is one of the most enduring monuments to his amazing lifetime of work. Pluses include a very reliable system of phonetic transcription to complement (rather than replace) the Amharic writing system, a very nice and readable Amharic typeface, and portability with this paperback edition. Students coming to Amharic from other Semitic languages, beware of one thing: the 'q' used in the system of transcription is not the Arabic 'qaf' (although Amharic loanwards from Arabic with 'q' morph into the Amharic 'q', which is an ejective consonant, of which in Amharic there are several. Ejectives are not uncommon in African languages, but will be very exotic to students coming to Amharic from an Arabic or Hebrew background.

BETAM BETAM valuable book. There is not any other ...

BETAM BETAM valuable book. There is not any other Amharic dictionaries that compare to this one. hurry up and get this one before it goes out of existence. Habesha hizb. Tiru book for you to Meganazeb English words.The only thing that I wish this book had was a way to translate from the Amharic sounding of words to the english word. This book helped me to appreciate the art and complication of making a translation dictionary, especially when you have a language that has different script from yours. My wife as destroyed this book, and AMHARIC is her 1st language.

Well worth having...

It is the easiest to use of any of the Amharic dictionaries in my collection. It is from a time when Amharic was relatively free from other dialects and had not incorporated many technological terms. I recommend it for students, teachers and travelers.

ahh, much better!

Compared to the previous dictionary I had purchased this one is a breath of fresh air! Just what I needed for my learning of Amharic. I like that it is in order of consenant sound- not in actual order of the Fidel (ex: all "h" words are clumped together in one section, and the different forms of each letter are not considered in order eithermaking it easier since many Amharic words have multiple spellings and a novice can look up by basic sound.Recomended!
