Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/滑鼠手 vs 腕管综合症
carpal tunnel syndrome · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 滑鼠手; on the Mainland it is 腕管综合症 - both point at “carpal tunnel syndrome”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 滑鼠手、腕管綜合症 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.
