Guest realmayo Posted July 30, 2009 at 02:00 AM Report Posted July 30, 2009 at 02:00 AM I just had a look at jukuu, because nciku is down for maintenance, specifically I wanted to find some examples to flesh out my understanding of 形成 ... but the sentences in jukuu -- at least for this entry -- are super technical, very dry, a bit overwhelming in fact. I'd recommend http://www.nciku.com/ (though admittedly, since it's down for maintenance, I can't check if it's examples for 形成 are any better!) Quote
tooironic Posted July 30, 2009 at 09:25 AM Report Posted July 30, 2009 at 09:25 AM Yeah I know what you mean. You just need to be careful, and double check everything you read with native speakers. If you read something bizarre, you can give it a 差评. But overall I have yet to find anything comparable - certainly nciku is quite good but it rarely takes anything from real-life contexts (unlike jukuu which at least tries to do that with some custom entry examples from websites, etc). Also, nciku is horribly slow at times, so I just tend to use dict.cn wherever possible because, although it is teeming with errors and inconsistencies, at least it is fast and has a huge amount of entries. I guess, at the end of the day, no dictionary is perfect, and you must only treat them as starting points in your research. EDIT: To answer your query about 形成, if you scroll down and check out the later entries (pages 3 or so onwards) you'll find the non-technical ones. Quote
aljensen Posted August 21, 2009 at 02:54 AM Report Posted August 21, 2009 at 02:54 AM http://www.zhongwenred.com has about 700 sentences or so, but they are mostly for beginners. Quote

murrayjames Posted May 20, 2010 at 09:07 AM Report Posted May 20, 2010 at 09:07 AM I downloaded the 20000 sentences too, through via a different page: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/23117-is-mnemosyne-unstable/ Just starting reviewing them. Highly recommended. These are excellent -- way better than most of the stuff out there. Careful with the pinyin, there are mistakes. And don't be afraid to edit the entries so they work better for you. Quote
hanyu_xuesheng Posted May 20, 2010 at 08:03 PM Report Posted May 20, 2010 at 08:03 PM Sentences may be also found here (replace 汉字 in the links with any chinese character(s), no downloads, only copy & paste) http://chinesepod.com/tools/glossary/entry/汉字 http://dict.cn/汉字 http://www.engkoo.com/#汉字 http://hua.umf.maine.edu/php/search.php?eng=&p_input=&c_input=%BA%BA%D7%D6&search_limit=7&search_type=exact Quote
