Now available in paperback, A Thematic Dictionary of Modern Persian is a reference work unique in the history of English-Persian lexicography. It offers a considerably extended guide to modern everyday Persian vocabulary, arranged by theme. With approximately 25,000 Persian headwords in over seventy themed sections, it covers every conceivable vocabulary need: from everyday topics such as food or the weather, to more in-depth topics such as astronomy, psychology or international relations. Supplementary wordlists cover verbs, adjectives and parts of speech, while a special section on Persian simple and compound verbs will appeal to all learners of Persian. An easy-to-use index of English words, with over 20,000 items of vocabulary, completes the work and gives it the look and feel of a regular two-way bilingual dictionary.

Invaluable for vocabulary building, essay-writing and specialised translation, A Thematic Dictionary of Modern Persian caters for all your Persian language needs in one volume, and is designed to make word learning a pleasure rather than a chore.

A great idea for learing vocabulary

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 May 2014

Verified Purchase

Grouping words together by subject matter is an excellent idea for learning. For example if you are looking for Persian words used in economics, finance and trade, then the section for this has a big list of the English terms, the Persian equivalent and best of all, a phonetic transliterration for the Persian so you can make sure you pronounce it right. The quality of Persian print is good but it could be better - a common enough complaint with all Persian dictionaries.

The book is laid out as an English to Persian dictionary, but oddly enough it is the Persian words that are in alphabetical order. So if you want to know what "father in law" is in Persian, you go to the Family section then you have to plow through the list of English terms until you find what you are looking for. There is an index at the back that helps, but this makes searching for terms clumsy.

Otherwise, highly recommended, especially for expanding your Persian vocabulary.

Large format and comprehensive content

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 October 2017

I like using this thematic dictionary when studying persian - albeit I tend to use this book as a desk reference (a bit too large format / heavy) to tote in a bag. There are a few other english / persian thematic dictionaries available, although they tend not to include quite as much detailed content. Very useful content for workplace vocabulary and colloquial conversations. Looking forward to an eBook / Kindle edition as that would be the best of both Worlds (printed copy for serious study, Kindle edition would be even more practical at college / in the workplace).

I found this dictionary very useful as it gives a lot of vocabularies that you kind find anywhere else. It's the perfect dictionary for students who are on a higher level of Persian studies. I used it a lot during my work as interpreter as well. Great book.

Thematic Persian Dictionary

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 24 March 2013

Very expensive but well presented - the words are listed under themes - e.g, Social, Military, Travelling etc etc etc. Not very comprehensive though and VERY expensive.

Probably the best purchase I have made in recent years - Colin Turner is to be praised

A must have for all persian students

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 March 2010

This book is a real God-send. It's thorough, easy to use, and very comprehensive. The vocab is listed by topic, and ranges from the simple and more obvious words, to the very specific and specialised. Excellent.
