I ended up disabling “Disable or replace context menu” in my Firefox advanced Javascript preference. You see, I wanted to open the link on a different tab on my Firefox but Karyanet tried to prevent me from doing this. It is easier to find the online Kamus Dewan from Google search than the Karyanet menu system! And the popup thanking me for using Karyanet which appears every time I right click on a link (actually not just links, everything) is extremely annoying. But the website is rather busy and the navigation is rather bad. The online Kamus Dewan alone will get me coming back every so often. Karyanet and DBP should be lauded for making the Malay language more accessible. Maybe, I should sharpen my Malay writing skills and become a karyawan at Karyanet.
It is a place for budding writers to publish their original work. Incidentally, Karyanet hosts more than just Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) online dictionaries. In retrospect, ‘Kod.Karma’ would have sounded just as good. Apparently not, according to Kamus Dewan. Kamus Melayu-Melayu yang paling diiktiraf oleh Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. Anda boleh membawa Kamus Dewan Edisi Keempat, Kamus Inggeris Melayu Dewan dan kamus-kamus yang lain dengan anda, ke mana sahaja anda pergi. Actually, I was trying to see if the word ‘koda’ in my ‘ Koda.Karma‘ blog site name is a sanctioned Malay word. Kamus Pro kini beroperasi dalam iPhone/iPad anda. That would have directly led me to the Karyanet site which hosts the online Kamus Dewan. Edisi terkini Kamus Dewan memaparkan: sekitar 82,900 kata masukan (34,578 entri, 24,180 subentri, dan 24,142 frasa entri) 5,843 kata masukan baru yang berupa: kata umum, istilah umum pelbagai bidang dan ilmu, kata serapan Arab.
Oh, why did it take this long for me to find this gem? I have been looking for a reliable online Malay dictionary for so long and it did not occur to me to type ‘kamus dewan’ in a Google search. ( Please see Kamus Dewan moved for latest updates.)
