Translate. Discover. Learn.
Reverso Context uses millions of bilingual texts, processed by complex AI algorithms. The examples are extracted from real-life contexts; therefore, they cover a wide range of registers of speech and will sometimes contain slang, colloquialisms, rude terms. We are constantly working on improving our filtering mechanisms and warn users about any potentially inappropriate language. If you notice such examples among the results, we encourage you to use the Feedback option to report them.

Optimize the results you get from the contextual dictionary by following these guidelines:
Consider using articles, possessive pronouns, personal pronouns, etc.
This will allow you to find specific use cases. It is an intuitive way to sort by part of speech. Try "I wonder" or "no wonder", "seven wonders" or simply "wonder"
Refine your search with some extra words.
Try "give up" or "give in", "give way" or "give it away"
Use punctuation to find specific translations in context.
You can isolate a word by adding a comma or a dot to your search. Try looking for ", meaning", instead of "meaning". Similarly, "though" does not show the same examples as "though.". For example, if you are looking for the question tag "couldn't we", you can target only the questions that end in your searched text, by adding a question mark to your query ("couldn't we?").
Include or exclude the hyphen from your search.
Try "work-related" and "work related".
Consider including capital letters in your search.
Even though the system is tolerant and will include the results in uppercase for a lowercase search, this will help you refine your search. Try searching "Miss" and "miss".
Make sure you use the right accentuation.
For languages other than English, we suggest you to use the right accentuation in your search, especially when similar words that differ only by accents may exist.
Look up conjugated verbs rather than their infinitive form.
Do not forget that Reverso Context is a translation search engine that works with data gathered from already translated texts. Therefore, verbs are more likely to be found conjugated in various persons and tenses, rather than in their infinitive basic form. Try "to be" and "he is" or "I was".
Type part of the idiom or expression you’re looking for. You will be suggested with entries that exist in the dictionary.
Try "the end justifies".
Reverso Context works best with words and expressions, but you can also look for longer texts. We will offer you a high-quality translation provided by the last-generation NMT (Neural Machine Translation) technology.
Search for "I am about to drop everything"
When you translate shorter texts and no perfect match is found in our dictionary, we still try to offer you the best results by splitting your text in smaller parts and translating each of them
Try with "voice some concerns".
Reverso Context goes far beyond a dictionary or an online translator. The results may also include equivalents for your searched text, detected based on our algorithms but not validated from a grammar point of view. In this case, they are marked with a grey background, and they are not usually linked with any grammar category. Nevertheless, they can prove very helpful in translating and understanding the context of use.
Look for "garments" - you will get indications of translations such as "articles", "confections", "costumes"
Reverso Context can be adapted to your company's terminology
