Mandarin comparison · separate source entries

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

深仇大恨 shēn chóu dà hèn CC-CEDICT · Mandarin(idiom) bitter hatred

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: shen1 chou2 da4 hen4. It does not establish a Mandarin word with the same meaning.
