Searching

Select the dictionary that you would like to search in. Dictionaries are divided into Classical Arabic (Modern Standard, Fusha, etc.), and different dialect groups (Egyptian, Levantine).

Select how you would like to search. Each dictionary can be searched by root (جذر), Arabic work (كلمة عربية), and English word (كلمة انكليزية).

Understanding the Display and Results

If a result is found, the results will be displayed. The general order behind the display is based on traditional Arabic dictionaries, meaning it capitalizes on Arabic’s root structure to order results logically. The basic order will always be:

• Root 1
  • Word 1
    • Definition 1
      • Examples
    • Definition 2
      • Examples
  • Word 2
• Root 2
  • Word 1
    • Definition 1
      • Examples

By way of explanation of the above diagram, the results are ordered by root. Within each root, the results are displayed in order of word. In general, the words will be displayed in order of verb form, and then the nouns related to that verb form. For example, the results for the root خرج would be displayed as:

Each word will have one or more definitions. Each definition will be numbered and listed separately, to make differentiating between them easier. Additionally, each definition has other dimensions that will display when relevant, including examples, part of speech (verb, noun, etc.), and, when relevant, tags, and word origin.
