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