How to Say ‘Annual leave’ in Traditional Chinese
特休
tè xiū
[tèxiū]
💬 Usage Tip: 特休 is short for 特別休假 "special leave", the Taiwanese term for paid annual leave.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Taiwan's labor law sets minimum 特休 by seniority, starting at a few days and growing with years of service. Seven days is fairly typical for someone early in their tenure, so asking for more is a normal negotiating point.
