Japanese Dictionary + Grammar 3.1

Most dictionaries require you to know the root word to find the word you're looking for. However, for beginners, not having a strong grasp of grammar can be a barrier to identifying the root word. This limitation makes it challenging to look up unfamiliar words.

The Japanese Dictionary with Grammar addresses this issue by handling Japanese grammar rules for you. You can input the word as is, and the dictionary will determine the root word before conducting the search quickly.

For instance, searching for たべられる (taberareru) in conventional dictionaries may yield no results. By utilizing the Beginners Japanese Dictionary with Grammar, you'll discover that this is the "Able to Do" form of たべる (taberu), meaning "(v1,vt) to eat". Going further, a search for たべられない (taberarenai) reveals it as the "Regular Negative of the Able to Do" form of たべる (taberu). Continuing on, a search for たべられなかった (taberarenakatta) discloses that it represents the "Past tense of the Regular Negative of the Able to Do form" of たべる (taberu).

The sophisticated grammar recognition extends to adjectives as well. For example, recognizing that おいしくなかった (oishikunakatta) is the past tense of the negative form of おいしい (oishii), meaning "(adj) delicious".

Moreover, the dictionary allows searches in romaji, hiragana, katakana, English, and kanji. It can even identify katakana if mistakenly input as hiragana or vice versa. Thus, if you enter べっど (beddo), it will correctly retrieve ベッド (beddo), meaning "(n) bed.

If encountering an unfamiliar kanji character, you can simply draw it with your finger within the app, and Japanese Dictionary with Grammar will provide you with its meaning. Additionally, if you recall only part of a kanji word, replacing unknown characters with "?" enables the tool to display all potential matches.

This dictionary boasts a database of over 200,000 words sourced from the renowned Monash University EDICT dictionary. It seamlessly incorporates grammar analysis without necessitating internet connectivity during searches.

Ultimately, using a Japanese dictionary has been significantly simplified with this comprehensive tool.
