HSK 3 Vocabulary List: All 973 New Words with Pinyin (New HSK 3.0)
汉
Learn Chinese Editorial Team
Published
The HSK 3 vocabulary list has 973 new words under the New HSK 3.0 standard. Add the 1,272 words from Levels 1 and 2 and you get 2,245 words in total. Below you will find every new HSK 3 word with pinyin and English meanings, plus the most useful word groups and a simple way to study them.
This page is about words. For the sentence patterns you need at this level, such as 把 sentences and complements, see our HSK 3 grammar list.
HSK 3 vs HSK 3.0: Clearing Up the Names
The names are confusing, so here is the short version:
- HSK 3 means Level 3 of the Chinese proficiency test.
- HSK 3.0 is the name of the new standard. It has nine levels and replaces the older system, often called HSK 2.0, which had six.
So "HSK 3 under HSK 3.0" means Level 3 of the new standard. That is the list on this page. If you want a full comparison of the two systems, read our guide to HSK 3.0 vs HSK 2.0.
What Changes at HSK 3
Compared with HSK 2
HSK 1 and 2 are mostly about you and your daily life. HSK 3 is a big step up. It adds 973 words, more than HSK 2's 772, and the topics get wider:
- Abstract nouns: 经验 (jīngyàn, experience), 能力 (nénglì, ability), 环境 (huánjìng, environment).
- Society and work: 社会 (shèhuì, society), 工资 (gōngzī, salary), 经济 (jīngjì, economy).
- Linking words that join longer sentences: 不仅 (bùjǐn, not only), 由于 (yóuyú, because of), 因此 (yīncǐ, therefore).
- Formal near-synonyms for words you already know, such as 父亲 (fùqīn) for 爸爸 and 母亲 (mǔqīn) for 妈妈.
If you still need to review the earlier level, use the HSK 2 vocabulary list first.
Compared with the old HSK 2.0 Level 3
The old HSK 2.0 Level 3 list had 600 words in total across Levels 1 to 3. The new standard asks for 2,245, almost four times as many. That is why many teachers say New HSK 3 feels closer to old HSK 4. Under the new standard, Level 3 also adds 300 new characters, for 900 in total.
The HSK is in transition, and the version on offer can depend on your test center and date. Check the current format on chinesetest.cn before you choose a list. Our guide to HSK exam format and scoring explains the sections.
Useful HSK 3 Word Groups with Examples
Learning words in groups is faster than learning them A to Z. Here are the groups that pay off most at this level.
Connectors that build longer sentences
These words appear in almost every HSK 3 reading text. They show cause, result, contrast and addition.
- 由于 (yóuyú): because of, due to
- 因此 (yīncǐ): therefore
- 不仅 (bùjǐn) / 并且 (bìngqiě): not only / and also
- 不论 (bùlùn): no matter
- 另外 (lìngwài): besides, in addition
- 要是 (yàoshi): if
由于下大雨，比赛取消了。 Yóuyú xià dàyǔ, bǐsài qǔxiāo le. Because of the heavy rain, the match was canceled.
不论多忙，他每天都跑步。 Bùlùn duō máng, tā měitiān dōu pǎobù. No matter how busy he is, he runs every day.
To see how these words fit into pairs like 虽然...但是, read our guide to Chinese conjunctions.
Time and frequency adverbs
These small words change the meaning of a whole sentence. Learn them with a full example, not alone.
- 曾经 (céngjīng): once, used to
- 从来 (cónglái): always; with 不 or 没, never
- 终于 (zhōngyú): finally
- 往往 (wǎngwǎng): often, tend to
- 仍然 (réngrán): still
- 立刻 (lìkè): at once
我从来没去过长城。 Wǒ cónglái méi qùguo Chángchéng. I have never been to the Great Wall.
等了两个小时，车终于来了。 Děng le liǎng ge xiǎoshí, chē zhōngyú lái le. After two hours of waiting, the bus finally came.
Work, money and society
HSK 3 starts to talk about jobs and the world outside your home.
- 老板 (lǎobǎn): boss
- 员工 (yuángōng): employee
- 工资 (gōngzī): salary
- 公务员 (gōngwùyuán): civil servant
- 房租 (fángzū): rent
- 负责 (fùzé): to be in charge of
她在一家公司负责市场工作。 Tā zài yì jiā gōngsī fùzé shìchǎng gōngzuò. She is in charge of marketing at a company.
Media, culture and free time
Many new words come from TV, music and sports.
- 电视剧 (diànshìjù): TV series
- 演唱会 (yǎnchànghuì): concert
- 观众 (guānzhòng): audience
- 直播 (zhíbō): live broadcast
- 球迷 (qiúmí): sports fan
- 京剧 (jīngjù): Peking opera
这场演唱会有很多观众。 Zhè chǎng yǎnchànghuì yǒu hěn duō guānzhòng. There is a big audience at this concert.
Word-building suffixes
A few characters work like English endings. Once you know them, you can guess many new words.
- 者 (zhě), a person who does something: 读者 (dúzhě, reader), 作者 (zuòzhě, author), 志愿者 (zhìyuànzhě, volunteer)
- 员 (yuán), a member or staff: 队员 (duìyuán, team member), 演员 (yǎnyuán, actor)
- 迷 (mí), a fan: 歌迷 (gēmí, music fan), 球迷 (qiúmí, sports fan)
Near-synonyms that look alike
HSK 3 has many pairs with almost the same meaning. Usually one is more spoken and one is more formal, or they are simply interchangeable.
| Pair | Pinyin | Meaning | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 价格 / 价钱 | jiàgé / jiàqián | price | 价格 is more formal |
| 本领 / 本事 | běnlǐng / běnshi | skill, ability | 本事 is more spoken |
| 家乡 / 故乡 | jiāxiāng / gùxiāng | hometown | 故乡 sounds more literary |
| 赶紧 / 赶快 | gǎnjǐn / gǎnkuài | quickly, hurry | Mostly interchangeable |
| 仍 / 仍然 | réng / réngrán | still | 仍 is more written |
Characters with two readings
Some HSK 3 words share a character but not a sound. The exam tests these in listening, so learn both readings.
- 背: bēi (to carry on your back) vs bèi (the back; to memorize)
- 调: diào (to transfer) vs tiáo (to adjust, as in 调整)
- 为: wéi (to act as) vs wèi (for, as in 为了)
- 空: kōng (empty) vs kòng (free time, as in 空儿)
- 精神: jīngshén (spirit, mind) vs jīngshen (lively, full of energy)
他今天很精神。 Tā jīntiān hěn jīngshen. He looks full of energy today.
A few words on the list, such as 把 and 被, are mainly grammar words. Learn their meaning here, then practice them with our guides to the 把 sentence and the 被 passive.
How to Study the HSK 3 Word List
1. Go 10 to 15 words a day. At 10 new words a day, the 973 words take about 100 days. That is a steady pace you can keep while reviewing old words.
2. Use spaced repetition. Review each word just before you forget it. The Learn Chinese app has all HSK 3 words with audio, SRS flashcards and stroke order, so you can study and review in one place.
3. Learn words in phrases. Many HSK 3 verbs have fixed partners: 解决问题 (jiějué wèntí, to solve a problem), 提高水平 (tígāo shuǐpíng, to raise your level), 参加比赛 (cānjiā bǐsài, to take part in a match).
4. Listen before you read. Say each word out loud with the right tones. If you mix up tones, say the word in a short phrase until it sounds natural.
5. Write the characters you confuse. 已 and 己, 买 and 卖, 历 and 力 look close. A short dictation session helps, as described in the tingxie method.
6. Read short texts at your level. Words stick when you meet them in context. Choose texts where you know most of the words already, and reread them.
Common mistakes to avoid:
- Using 父亲 or 母亲 when talking to your parents. These words describe them, but you still call them 爸爸 and 妈妈.
- Mixing up 从来 and 一直. 从来 is mostly used with 不 or 没 to mean "never".
- Forgetting the measure word. HSK 3 adds 顿 (dùn) for meals, 束 (shù) for flowers and 架 (jià) for planes. Our measure words guide lists the common ones.
