Answer 3

I know how you feel. I bought a spanish one and had to ask three friends about it. Look through it and make yourself familiar with the structure of the pages. When you think you know how to find the right words and right translations, you might find it easier. If that doesn't help as much go to the book store, or the place you bought it, and ask for some help. They should know.

Answer 4

you can browse www.google.com n click the language tools there select the language  which you want to translate  and   second box is for the language in which you want the answer

for ex. like you want a meaning of greek word  in english then select greek language in first option &  in second option select enlish type the word in search for coloumn  and click translate option

or you can search for various dictionary websites on net which provide a free translation service

Answer 8

Could it be that your dictionary is for classic (ancient) Greek?  That would be one possible reason why not all the words in your boy friend's message are in the dictionary.  Another possibility is that he's using some up-to-the minute slang that hasn't found its way even into a dictionary of modern Greek.  

In the sense that I think you mean, there should be no difference between capitals and lower-case letters.  If you know the Greek alphabet (and in order), you should be able to find any word in that dictionary.

maybe some words fell off the book on your way home from the bookstore?
