Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/速配 vs 相契
(coll.) (of a couple) to be a good match · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 速配; on the Mainland it is 相契 - both point at “(coll.) (of a couple) to be a good match”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 速配、相契 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.
