FAQ

1. What does the information following the keyword mean?

Information about grammar, style and context usage of the word are in the grey heading following the keyword. For example, information about plural forms, specific forms of conjugation, use of the word in specific situations (formal or informal language, ...), use of the word in a specialised field (IT, medicine, …) or in a particular region (northern/southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland …). Certain regional information is highlighted with a flag, e.g. examples of American, Australian or British English, for Canadian English and French, for European and Brazilian Portuguese as well as German from Austria or Switzerland.

2. How does the pronunciation function work?

You can activate the pronunciation function in the target language for every word. The word is spoken when you tap on the pronunciation symbol (loudspeaker following the word). In some languages there are also regional variations of the word (e.g. Spanish pronunciation vs. Mexican pronunciation). Ensure the loudspeaker on your computer or smartphone is turned on before tapping on the pronunciation symbol.

3. How do the verb tables work?

There are verb tables showing all the forms of given verbs in many languages included in the PONS Online Dictionary. The table can be found on the right of the entry in the source language for every verb (e.g. sing). Use the ‚View verb table‘ button to call up all the available forms.

To get to the verb table in the target language (e.g. cantar), tap on the word in the target language in the entry. You can then see the table for the verb in the target language (cantar).
