Customer Reviews

Excellent resource.

This is unsurpassed for a pocket dictionary. I have found few English/Croatian dictionaries to be as accurately translated or as in depth. Not perfect, but highly recommended -- and easy to carry around with you.

Excellent Pocket Size Traveler

I also was in the region as a earlier poster puts it. With this Croatian or Hrvatski dictionary if you please. Firstly this Croatian dictionary is not favored to Serbian, this is blatantly untrue. As well as the fact that the official script/text for Serbian is Cyrillic. The earlier given example of bread as sensitive, which I checked in this Croatian dictionary, clearly shows the word "Kruh" ,which is the correct Croatian word for bread. In regards to lacking several words and explanation of others, I also suspect this to be untrue, because the earlier poster would be able to provide specific examples and clearly failed to provide evidence of this. I found this Croatian dictionary extremely thorough for its handy pocket size with over 30,000 entries.

Croatian English-Dictionary For All

This Dictionary even tells u number, does a normal dictionary do that? well hecks no it dosent! With a poket sized dictionary with over 25,000 words. So who ever is talkin a trip or a student taking esl and a croatian who dosent speak english! Trust On me This Is the Right way to go!

A Handy Reference

This is a very small, but very useful book. It contains basic words for everyday communication. It also contains some short phrases/idioms.

Great for on-the-fly communication in Serbo-Croat

Just got back from Bosnia where this dictionary was absolutely indispensable. Ideal for people that already have some knowledge of the Serbo-Croat/ Croatian/ Bosnian/ whatever-you-wanna-callit language. Not to be confused with a phrasebook for travellers.PROS: 1) Small. Fits in your pocket. Any pocket. 2) Comprehensive. Has 95% of the words you encounter in everyday conversation, and 90% of the words you encounter in writing. 3) Durable. The plastic cover is flexible, making it quick and easy to flip pages, while being tough and water resistant.CONS: 1) I've bought a few of them, and sometimes they're missing the 'S' thru 'T' section of the Croatian. 2) Sometimes the shade of meaning for a word is not clear. 3) The dictionary does not indicate eastern or western variants of words. A native speaker is the only one that can tell you which of the listed synonyms they use.All in all, you have to have this if you're trying to communicate on the fly.
