Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/社群 vs 社区
community · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 社群; on the Mainland it is 社区 - both point at “community”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 社群、社區 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
社区 is HSK 5 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
