Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/波德里查 vs 波德戈里察
Podgorica, capital of Montenegro · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 波德里 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 波德里查; on the Mainland it is 波德戈里察 - both point at “Podgorica, capital of Montenegro”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 波德里查、波德戈裏察 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
