Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/乙太網路 vs 以太网
Ethernet · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 太网 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 乙太網路; on the Mainland it is 以太网 - both point at “Ethernet”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 乙太網路、以太網 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: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
