Common words and phrases missing definitions

Are you sure you've reinstalled all of the dictionaries you had before, including free ones? A quick check suggests that most of these are covered by several of our remaining dictionaries, though we were planing to do a double-check for missing common words sometime between now and the finished release; there are some common words in Adso that aren't covered by any other free C-E dictionary and while we're pretty firm on our decision to remove Adso we don't want to leave any gaps.

CC-Canto and Words.HK actually add quite a few words that aren't exclusive to Cantonese - if you didn't download them previously you were probably getting those definitions from Adso, but they do support them too (and can use Mandarin as well as Cantonese pronunciation). It looks like about half of the words you mention are covered by those.
But yes, one of our to-do items is to check the Adso list against our other free C-E offerings and see if there are any other common words we're missing, so thanks for the reminder on that.

I don't know much about Cantonese, but I had supposed that many words in CC-Canto or Words.HK would be specific to Cantonese and not in Mandarin, even with Mandarin pronunciation. Is that not the case?
