What is in the HSK 3 vocabulary list?

Official records: 500
Level owner: HSK 3

English: Supplemental dictionary data

How to use this HSK 3 word list

Use the list for lookup and syllabus reference. Search a word when you need its Hanzi, pinyin, part of speech or study meaning, then move into HSK 3 Flashcards for active recall.

Use HSK 3 Characters when individual Hanzi need attention and HSK 3 Grammar when the problem is sentence structure rather than vocabulary.

Official fields vs supplemental English meanings

The official record supplies level membership, word, pinyin, syllabus position and part-of-speech data. English meanings come from supplemental CC-CEDICT enrichment for search and learning convenience; they are not described as official HSK translations.

See the HSK 3.0 source overview and editorial policy for the data boundary.
