Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/花式游泳 vs 花样游泳
synchronized swimming · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 花式游泳; on the Mainland it is 花样游泳 - both point at “synchronized swimming”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 花式游泳、花樣遊泳 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.
