Practice HSK 4 words in context

HSK 4 vocabulary FAQ
How many words are in HSK 4 (HSK 3.0)?
The November 2025 HSK 3.0 syllabus lists about 2,000 words cumulatively through HSK 4. This page has the 997 words introduced at HSK 4, for 1,994 in total counting the levels below. We list each word once, at the level where it first appears, so a word the syllabus re-lists at a higher level with a new sense is not counted twice — that is why the totals can sit slightly below the round targets.
How many characters do I need for HSK 4?
The HSK 4 words use 441 characters that don't appear in any lower level, for 1,096 distinct characters across HSK 1–4. These are counted from the word list itself, not an official character requirement. They're all shown in the character section on this page.
What changed in HSK 4 compared with HSK 2.0 and the 2021 list?
Of these 997 words, 382 were not in the old HSK 2.0 lists at all; 2 were HSK 2.0 level 2, 22 were HSK 2.0 level 3, 464 were HSK 2.0 level 4, 114 were HSK 2.0 level 5, 13 were HSK 2.0 level 6. Compared with the 2021 standard (972 words at HSK 4), 217 words kept their level, 205 moved down from a higher 2021 level, 550 moved up from a lower one, and 25 were not in the 2021 lists. The last column of the table shows each word's old HSK 2.0 level and its 2021 level.
Is there a traditional-character version of the HSK 4 list?
Yes. Every word on this page and in the CSV includes traditional characters, and the zhuyin column uses Taiwan readings. Use the script switch above the table to show simplified, traditional, or both. If you're preparing for Taiwan's TOCFL exam instead, see TOCFL vs HSK.
Can I download the HSK 4 word list as a PDF?
Yes. Use the Print / PDF button and choose "Save as PDF" — the print layout is a clean table, and it keeps whatever you've hidden, so hiding the English first gives you a self-test sheet. The CSV download opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Anki, and Pleco-friendly tools.
