Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/傳送 vs 发送
to convey · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 傳送; on the Mainland it is 发送 - both point at “to convey”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 傳送、發送 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
傳送 is L4 vocabulary on the TOCFL 华语八千词 list; 发送 is HSK 3 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
