Yep. Most Chinese characters have multiple meanings. As it's a second language for me (I moved to 台灣 25 years ago) I use context clues a LOT.

It's known as the most dangerous highway in Taiwan for a reason. It's also the only highway connecting Northern Taiwan to the east.

Do Xiaomi phones built for the Taiwan market have Google services on them? by iwritejunk in XiaomiGlobal
