Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/布袋戲偶 vs 戏偶
glove puppet · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 戏偶 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 布袋戲偶; on the Mainland it is 戏偶 - both point at “glove puppet”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 布袋戲偶、戲偶 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.
