Mandarin comparison · separate source entries

CC-CEDICT, the Mandarin–English dictionary, lists the same written form:

晚上 wǎn shang CC-CEDICT · Mandarinevening; night; Classifier: 個 gè; in the evening

A separate source entry, shown for comparison. The same characters can carry different senses in Mandarin and in Cantonese; zimai does not align these senses.

CC-Canto includes this pinyin reference: wan3 shang5. It does not establish a Mandarin word with the same meaning.
