[edit]Adjective

- 2008, Suresh Kumar, हिन्दी भाषा तथा भाषाविज्ञान, Delhi: Alekh Prakashan, →ISBN, page 65, →ISBN:
- दूसरी बात, अनूदित पाठ का पाठक एकभाषी है-केवल लक्ष्य भाषा जानता है।
- dūsrī bāt, anūdit pāṭh kā pāṭhka ekbhāṣī hai-keval lakṣya bhāṣā jāntā hai.
- Second thing, the reader of the translated text is monolingual-he knows only the target language.
- 2019, Dr. V. R. Jagannath, सरस्वती छात्रकोश [Sarasvati students' dictionary][1], New Delhi: New Saraswati House, →ISBN, page iii, →ISBN:
- मैं जब भी हिंदी के विद्वानों से चर्चा करता हूँ, प्रायः पहला सवाल यही होता है कि यह कोश एकभाषी है या द्विभाषी? एकभाषी कोश की कमी यह है कि वह 'कुत्ता' जैसे सामान्य शब्द को भी 'परिभाषित' करने का यत्न करता है और प्रायः एक कठिन पर्याय भी दे देता है।
- ma͠i jab bhī hindī ke vidvānõ se carcā kartā hū̃, prāyaḥ pahlā savāl yahī hotā hai ki yah koś ekbhāṣī hai yā dvibhāṣī? ekbhāṣī koś kī kamī yah hai ki vah 'kuttā' jaise sāmānya śabd ko bhī 'paribhāṣit' karne kā yatna kartā hai aur prāyaḥ ek kaṭhin paryāy bhī de detā hai.
- Whenever I do discussion with Hindi scholars, generally the first question is that whether this dictionary is monolingual or bilingual? The lacking in a monolingual dictionary is that it tries to 'define' a common work like 'dog' and usually gives a difficult synonym.
