Etymology [edit]
From Mandarin 普通話 / 普通話 (Pǔtōnghuà, “common speech”).
Proper noun [edit]
普通話 (hiragana ふつうわ, romaji futsūwa)
- The Mandarin Chinese language.
Synonyms [edit]
Usage notes [edit]
- This official term is a borrowing from Mandarin, but is not often used in speech as it sounds like 普通は (futsū wa, “normally, usually”). Consequently, 北京語 (Pekingo) is more commonly used instead, which also has the meaning of "Beijing language/dialect".
