About this app

Dictionary of the Danish Language (ODS) - "the great Danish dictionary". ODS is the largest Danish dictionary ever published. Book version is 28 + 5 vol supplementary volume (a total of nearly 1.5 linear meters), and the entire dictionary contains 225,000 entries.

Now available on the app - just to fit in your pocket.

The dictionary is a historical dictionary that describes the Danish language years 1700-1950. It therefore considers the importance of modern words like "PC", "bummer" and "kiggekø". In contrast, you will find detailed explanations of everyday words like "lip" and a host of rare or old words like "halløjhat", "afskørte" and "misdædisk". You may also discover that the word "condescending" on ODS 'time meant "mild and merciful," and that "pathetic" yet could mean' pathetic 'but "emotional and solemn."

Most words and meanings are illustrated with quotations from classic Danish writers.

Dictionary of the Danish Language is part of ordnet.dk and published by the Danish Language and Literature (DSL), which has more than 100 years of experience in publishing dictionaries and is behind the largest Danish native language dictionaries. The project is funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.

The app requires internet access. That way you are sure to always have access to the latest version of the dictionary as we improve it without having to update the app. And it's all free. Enjoy!
