Mandarin comparison · separate source entries
CC-CEDICT, the Mandarin–English dictionary, lists the same written form:
- 訂 dìng CC-CEDICT · Mandarinto agree; to conclude; to draw up; to subscribe to (a newspaper etc); to order
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: ding4. It does not establish a Mandarin word with the same meaning.
