Words Dictionary

General Japanese-English glossary with over 180,000 entries.

• search using any combination of Japanese, English, rōmaji or kana
• you can search with conjugated words and Tangorin will guess the plain form, e.g. taberarenai will find results for taberu.
• use wildcards: * (asterisk) for zero or more characters, _ (underscore) for exactly one character (wildcards work only on Japanese keywords but you can use them with rōmaji)
• put English keywords in quotation marks to search for the exact phrase, e.g. "take on" will search only for the exact phrase take on and not transcribe it to Japanese

Tags
