Hungarian monolingual dictionaries

Hi everyone

Does anyone know of any decent monolingual Hungarian dictionaries that are NOT published by Akadémiai Kiadó? They seem to have cornered the market but I'm looking for alternatives - can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Hello!

Try to have a look at the Hungarian Forum of www.wordreference.com, I always find all the information of this website very valuable! I mainly use it for English-Spanish, but there is a lot of information.

You can find it on http://forum.wordreference.com/

Hope it helps!

Best regards,

Agnes

Try "magyar on-line szótár" -akademia
About 6,190,000 results (0.18 seconds)

All are from the very respectable Akadémiai Kiadó? I can't believe.

A monolingual dictionary, which has not yet been discussed within these walls, at least in Hungarian-language forums: Tallósi szótár in 2 vol. (This is my one dollar to this thread )

Please be more specific Feb 14

Tibor Bartos, an outstanding literary translator of the second part of the 20th century, published his dictionary, "Magyar szótár" at Corvina in 2002 (ISBN: 9631351378). It is a very thorough and inspiring work for those who speak Hungarian at a native level, as it contains no explanations just lists of synonyms.
Tinta kiadó has lots of very good dictionaries, too. Let us more about your needs so that we can help.

Best,
Attila

Thank you Feb 14

Thanks, everyone, for your ideas. This is for a research project I'm doing into monolingual dictionary data in various languages. The criteria are essentially: high-quality monolingual dictionary data, as up-to-date as possible (I'd really want data that has been updated in the last five or six years if at all possible), preferably a print dictionary, minimum 50K entries. I'll now go and look carefully at everything you suggest and see what I can come up with. Thanks again.
