N/A

[Jonny Wang]

How do you write (and say) "not applicable" or "N/A" in Chinese (e.g., when filling out a form)?

Also, how would you write "pick an item from the list" or "pick/select from the list" (also when filling out a form)

Thanks for the help!

不適用 for "not applicable" or N/A.

Consider 選擇一項 for "pick one item"; 從清單中選擇一項 for "pick one item from the list"; 從清單中選擇 for "pick from the list".

Awesome! Thanks for the help, Skylee. As soon as I translate your fanti into jianti, I'll be good!

Skylee,

For the sake of curiosity, what's the difference between 清单and 列表? When is each used? Are there other words for "list"?

[skylee]

I can't explain the difference. 清單 was used because it was the term that came up in my mind. I think that 列表 is also ok, but I would prefer 清單. I think I would use 列表 if it is a table / schedule of multiple columns and rows.
