Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/因變數 vs 因变量
(math.) dependent variable · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 因變數; on the Mainland it is 因变量 - both point at “(math.) dependent variable”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 因變數、因變量 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.
