Conakry, capital of Guinea · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 克里 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 柯那克里; on the Mainland it is 科纳克里 - both point at “Conakry, capital of Guinea”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 柯那克里、科納克裏 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.
