🇺🇦 Best Ukrainian dictionaries for advanced learners

A volunteer project that queries around a dozen English-Ukrainian dictionaries simultaneously and shows the results side by side, which is genuinely useful when a word has several plausible translations and you want to see which sources agree. It leans scholarly and includes specialised and technical vocabularies you will not find in app dictionaries. The sister site r2u.org.ua does the same for Russian-Ukrainian and hosts a spelling checker. Free, but the interface is utilitarian and Ukrainian-only.

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.

Goroh pulls definitions, full declension and conjugation tables, transcription, synonyms, phraseology, etymology and rhymes into a single lookup, which makes it far more practical than consulting several dictionaries in turn. The inflection tables alone justify bookmarking it when you are wrestling with noun endings. Everything is in Ukrainian with no English interface, so it becomes usable somewhere around B1. Free and maintained by volunteers.

Published by the Ukrainian Lingua-Information Foundation of the National Academy of Sciences, this is the authoritative monolingual dictionary — the one to cite when you need a definitive answer about a word's meaning or usage. Note that the widely-linked sum.in.ua is an unofficial copy of older volumes; this is the sanctioned, maintained edition. Entirely in Ukrainian and written for native-level users, so it is an advanced tool rather than a learning aid. Free to search.

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.
