information · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 資訊; on the Mainland it is 信息 - both point at “information”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 資訊、信息 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
資訊 is L4 vocabulary on the TOCFL 华语八千词 list; 信息 is HSK 2 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
