Review: Great academic dictionary! - This is a great dictionary for academic use. I am a beginner in Norwegian language study and have tried several different dictionaries and language study approaches. First, for those who are giving negative reviews, never expect a dictionary to teach you a language. The dictionary should be used in conjunction with lessons of some kind. Also, don't skip reading the front section of the dictionary, which makes it much easier to use. We are planning a trip to Norway and wanted to be at least somewhat familiar with the language. I am also a classical singer who loves Grieg's music. Translations of his German pieces are easy to find, but translations of the Norwegian songs are rare. I have found this dictionary to be the most useful resource in translating the late 19th century poetry Grieg used for his songs. This dictionary has both the Bokmal and Nynorsk definitions, as well as cross references to other root words. I have other dictionaries that are strictly contemporary word usage, but this one has it all. This is the most comprehensive Norwegian/English dictionary that I am aware of. Unlike most foreign translation tools, it doesn't divide the dictionary into two sections so you can look up a word in either language. This would make it harder to use of you need to translate from English to Norwegian. But if your goal is to translate from Norwegian to English, this dictionary has more entries and more information in each entry. It has been a lifesaver in my academic pursuits. The only thing I find a little lacking is the IPA pronunciation index in the front of the dictionary. I know they needed to conserve space, but it is a little lacking. That said, there are plenty of other resources to learn correct pronunciation. This dictionary is a treasury of definitions. Review: Norsk Engelsk Ordbok (Norwegian English Dictionary) - This is a very good, standard reference dictionary for anyone to keep at home. It is the first dictionary in any language to include both forms of Norwegian language, Bokmål (Riksmål, Dano-Norwegian) and Nynorsk (Landsmål, New Norwegian) in one alphabet, and the first Norwegian-English dictionary to include Nynorsk. It is the first Norwegian-English dictionary to give the pronunciation of the Norwegian words. It is the first such dictionary to label areas of usage and to include quotations from Norwegian authors. Some of the useful features in this dictionary include more than 60,000 entries and English equivalents, copious of grammatical information, phonemic transcriptions, extensive coverage and explanation of Norwegian idioms and word usage, common abbreviations, place names, proper names and cultural references. It also provides the historical background of Norwegian which one must read to understand the differences between Bokmål and Nynorsk. So, while there are probably better Norwegian English Dictionary out there, this is a good choice for any one-volume resource. Recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #541,744 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,067 in Foreign Dictionaries & Thesauruses | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 199 Reviews | ## Images ![Norwegian-English Dictionary: A Pronouncing and Translating Dictionary of Modern Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk) with a Historical and Grammatical Introduction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51z+x7JIUNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great academic dictionary! *by T***S on March 27, 2017* This is a great dictionary for academic use.

If you're looking for the right Norwegian word for an English term, I'm afraid you're still stuck with Google Translate. You can fumble your way around this dictionary and hope you find the word for the thing you're trying to say, but don't expect to use it much as a reference if you're trying to learn to speak Norwegian. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5037225-norwegian-english-dictionary-a-pronouncing-and-translating-dictionary-of-modern](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5037225-norwegian-english-dictionary-a-pronouncing-and-translating-dictionary-of-modern) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
