Description

A comprehensive English-Bengali dictionary containing over 50,000 entries and phrases, this title is ideal for learners of English, teachers, translators, and general readers. The dictionary's English base has been adapted from the Oxford Students Dictionary to cater specifically to Indian readers, incorporating a wide range of scientific and technical vocabulary, as well as words from current usage in Indian English. Detailed meanings and synonyms are provided for both English and Bengali, with explanations for words like "calorie", "camera", and "X-ray" that lack equivalent Bengali translations. The dictionary also includes pronunciation guides using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to aid with pronunciation. Additional features include lists of suffixes and prefixes translated in Bengali and a list of all verbs with irregular forms, making it an invaluable resource for advanced learners. With its simple and current Bengali translation, this dictionary is designed to reflect the language's evolving usage. The 1504-page hardcover edition includes over 200 illustrations and more than 50,000 up-to-date entries, ensuring that users have access to a wealth of information on both English and Bengali words.
