🇷🇴 The best dictionaries for learning Romanian

One query searches across more than eighty Romanian dictionaries at once, including the authoritative DEX '09 and the DOOM 3 orthographic norms, plus synonyms, etymology, neologisms and specialist vocabularies — over 1.1 million definitions in total. It is what Romanians themselves use to settle usage arguments. Free, volunteer-maintained and actively updated in 2026, with some data downloadable under the GPL. Monolingual and Romanian-only, so it becomes usable around B1 rather than day one.

Over 100 language editions; the English edition alone has millions of entries covering hundreds of languages, with IPA, declension and conjugation tables, etymologies and usage notes that commercial apps usually paywall. The etymology sections are quietly one of the best vocabulary-retention tools available. Being crowd-sourced, coverage is uneven and rare entries can be wrong — cross-check anything unusual against a native-language dictionary.

Around 6 million words recorded by native speakers across 400+ languages, usually with several accents per word so you can hear regional variation. Free to search on the site; the paid tiers are aimed at API users and bulk audio downloads. Indispensable for names, place names and anything a TTS voice would mangle — many learners wire it directly into Anki for card audio.
