How to Say “Tempered Glass” in Mandarin

The English phrase "tempered glass" is translated into Mandarin as 钢化玻璃.

Did you know?

  • The word 玻璃 for glass is a loanword that entered Mandarin via Sanskrit or Persian, mimicking the sound of the original word rather than being a native Chinese root.
  • The first character in 钢化玻璃, 钢, means 'steel', but it is used here to describe the strength of the glass rather than its actual material composition.
