Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/柏青哥 vs 小钢珠
pachinko (loanword) · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 柏青哥; on the Mainland it is 小钢珠 - both point at “pachinko (loanword)”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 柏青哥、小鋼珠 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.
