Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/分角線 vs 角平分线
angle bisector · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 分角线 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 分角線; on the Mainland it is 角平分线 - both point at “angle bisector”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 分角線、角平分線 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.
