Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/燒錄 vs 刻录
to record on a CD or DVD · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 燒錄; on the Mainland it is 刻录 - both point at “to record on a CD or DVD”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 燒錄、刻錄 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.
