Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/卡到陰 vs 中邪
to be possessed · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 卡到陰; on the Mainland it is 中邪 - both point at “to be possessed”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 卡到陰、中邪 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.
