This page shows, from top to bottom:
- a large version of the word in a traditional script font which you may need to install
-
: the Cantonese pronunciation of the word in jyutping.
Also, CantoDict uses a unique "asterisk (*)" convention, to show readings such as jyu4*2. For more information please see CantoDict Tone Conventions.
: the Mandarin pronunciation of the word in pinyin (only if present).- the meaning of the word, typed in by our volunteer editors
- guidelines on whether the word can only be used in Spoken Cantonese etc (if nothing is present the word may be used in both Cantonese and Mandarin)
- our arbitrarily assigned difficulty level
- a smaller version of the character in a computerised, printed font
- a list of each of the characters for the word, showing jyutping and meaning (if our dictionary contains that character)
We would really appreciate new volunteers to add some more compound words to the database so please see this thread if you would like to spend 10 mins or so helping.
