Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/許可權 vs 权限
scope of authority · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 权 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 許可權; on the Mainland it is 权限 - both point at “scope of authority”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 許可權、權限 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.
