Great Cantonese Dictionary

About this app

Great Cantonese Dictionary is a complete offline Cantonese reference — over 71,000 words, phrases and expressions, each with Jyutping romanization and spoken pronunciation. SEARCH THREE WAYS • Chinese characters — type 你好 to find greetings • Jyutping — type nei5 hou2 when you know the sound but not the character • English — search from meaning back to Cantonese Every entry gives you the characters, the Jyutping, and clear definitions. Tap the speaker to hear the word spoken aloud. WORKS ENTIRELY OFFLINE The full dictionary is built into the app. Nothing to download, no connection needed — on the MTR, on a plane, or anywhere your data does not reach. MORE THAN A WORD LIST Cantonese is a living language, and this app covers the parts a dictionary usually leaves out: • Popular Words — the vocabulary you will actually hear every day • Hong Kong Gen Z Slang — what people are saying right now • Guangzhou Slang — older dialect, sayings, rhymes and street life • Reduplication — the vivid AABB and ABB expressions that make Cantonese sound like Cantonese • Tongue Twisters — classics for sharpening your pronunciation • Children's Songs — nursery rhymes and playground chants • Three Character Classic — a playful Cantonese take on the classic primer LEARN THE SYSTEM A built-in Jyutping guide explains Cantonese romanization and the tones from the beginning. A grammar section covers the essentials — sentence patterns, particles, and the usage that word-for-word translation gets wrong. MAKE IT YOURS • Save favourites and return to them any time • Search history, so you can pick up where you left off • A new word every day, drawn from the categories you choose • A daily streak to keep the habit going INTERFACE LANGUAGES English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. The dictionary itself — all 71,000+ entries, search, Jyutping, pronunciation and the grammar guide — is free forever.
