Dizionario Cinese Hoepli 4+

A practical reference tool always at hand for all those who interact with the Italian and Chinese languages for work or pleasure.

The dictionary is the ultimate tool for both native speakers of Chinese studying Italian, and Italians studying Chinese. The piniyin transcription of headwords and of all acceptions of Chinese entries, together with the use of latin alphabetical sorting even for entries in the Chinese-Italian section, make the use of this dictionary extremely easy also for those who are not particular confident with Chinese ideograms.

The Italian-Chinese part offers a repertoire with more than 30,000 entries and refers to the several Italian dictionaries published in recent years, which reflect neologisms and trends in contemporary Italian language.
