Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/OK繃 vs 创可贴
band-aid · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is OK繃; on the Mainland it is 创可贴 - both point at “band-aid”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record OK繃、創可貼 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.
