Dictionaries can tell you:

how to pronounce a word

how to spell a word

the definition of a word

where and when the word originated

the syllables in a word

synonyms and antonyms for a word

Dictionaries are often very heavy. They are great for pressing flowers, or uncurling/straightening out paper.
