Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/呼叫 vs 调用
to shout · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 呼叫; on the Mainland it is 调用 - both point at “to shout”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 呼叫、調用 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: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
