Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/特偵組 vs 专案组
special investigation team · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 组 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 特偵組; on the Mainland it is 专案组 - both point at “special investigation team”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 特偵組、專案組 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.
