汉
Learn Chinese Editorial Team
Published
The HSK 4 vocabulary list has 1,000 new words under the New HSK 3.0 standard. Add the 2,245 words from Levels 1 to 3 and you get 3,245 words in total. Below you will find every new HSK 4 word with pinyin and English meanings, plus the word groups that are most useful to learn together.
This page is the word list. For grammar, a week-by-week plan and exam skills, see our HSK 4 study guide.
What Changes in the HSK 4 Word List
Compared with HSK 3
HSK 3 added 973 words. HSK 4 adds 1,000, so the pace stays about the same, but the words change in character:
- More abstract nouns: 原则 (yuánzé, principle), 趋势 (qūshì, trend), 性质 (xìngzhì, nature).
- Words for public life: 政府 (zhèngfǔ, government), 法律 (fǎlǜ, law), 企业 (qǐyè, company).
- Written connectors: 此外 (cǐwài, besides), 然而 (rán'ér, however), 以及 (yǐjí, as well as).
- New readings of old characters: 打 as dá (dozen), 好 as hào (to like), 着 as zháo in 着急.
Under the new standard, Level 4 also adds 300 new characters, for 1,200 characters in total. If you still have gaps from the level before, go back to the HSK 3 vocabulary list first.
Compared with the old HSK 2.0 Level 4
The old HSK 2.0 Level 4 list had 1,200 words in total across Levels 1 to 4. The new standard asks for 3,245, more than two and a half times as many. So a learner who passed the old HSK 4 will still find many unknown words here.
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 pick a list. Our guide to HSK 3.0 vs HSK 2.0 explains the two systems, and HSK exam format and scoring covers the sections.
Useful HSK 4 Word Groups with Examples
An A to Z list is good for checking, but groups are better for learning. These are the groups that pay off most at this level.
Feelings and attitudes
HSK 4 gives you words for how you feel and how much you care.
- 激动 (jīdòng): excited, moved
- 失望 (shīwàng): disappointed
- 着急 (zháojí): anxious, worried
- 冷静 (lěngjìng): calm
- 在乎 (zàihu): to care about
- 无所谓 (wúsuǒwèi): it doesn't matter
听到这个消息，她激动得说不出话来。 Tīngdào zhège xiāoxi, tā jīdòng de shuō bu chū huà lái. When she heard the news, she was so moved she couldn't speak.
别着急，我们还来得及。 Bié zháojí, wǒmen hái láidejí. Don't worry, we still have time.
Study and work
Many new words are about school, jobs and careers.
- 毕业 (bìyè): to graduate
- 奖学金 (jiǎngxuéjīn): scholarship
- 论文 (lùnwén): thesis, paper
- 面试 (miànshì): job interview
- 加班 (jiābān): to work overtime
- 培训 (péixùn): training
Watch out: 毕业 and 加班 are separable verbs, so other words can go in the middle.
这个月我加了三次班。 Zhège yuè wǒ jiāle sān cì bān. I worked overtime three times this month.
Phones, the internet and daily services
These words come up every day in modern China.
- 下载 (xiàzài): to download
- 登录 (dēnglù): to log in
- 密码 (mìmǎ): password
- 充电器 (chōngdiànqì): charger
- 快递 (kuàidì): express delivery
- 网址 (wǎngzhǐ): website address
我忘了密码，登录不了。 Wǒ wàngle mìmǎ, dēnglù bu liǎo. I forgot my password, so I can't log in.
Shopping and money
Prices, discounts and payments are common in HSK 4 listening.
- 打折 (dǎzhé): to give a discount
- 特价 (tèjià): special price
- 发票 (fāpiào): receipt, invoice
- 汇率 (huìlǜ): exchange rate
- 利息 (lìxī): interest (on money)
In Chinese, a discount names the part you pay. 打八折 means you pay 80 percent, so it is 20 percent off.
这件毛衣打八折，只要两百块。 Zhè jiàn máoyī dǎ bā zhé, zhǐ yào liǎng bǎi kuài. This sweater is 20% off, so it's only 200 yuan.
Formal words for reading
These words are less common in chat but appear in almost every reading text, notice and news item.
- 此外 (cǐwài): besides, in addition
- 以及 (yǐjí): as well as
- 是否 (shìfǒu): whether
- 之一 (zhīyī): one of
- 位于 (wèiyú): to be located in
上海是中国最大的城市之一。 Shànghǎi shì Zhōngguó zuì dà de chéngshì zhīyī. Shanghai is one of the biggest cities in China.
请在周五以前确认您是否参加。 Qǐng zài zhōuwǔ yǐqián quèrèn nín shìfǒu cānjiā. Please confirm whether you will attend by Friday.
For how connectors like these pair up inside a sentence, read our guide to Chinese conjunctions.
Word families with a shared character
Learn one character well and a whole family gets easier.
- 期: 期待 (qīdài, to look forward to), 期间 (qījiān, period), 期末 (qīmò, end of term), 期限 (qīxiàn, deadline)
- 投: 投入 (tóurù, to put in), 投诉 (tóusù, to complain), 投资 (tóuzī, to invest)
- 吸: 吸引 (xīyǐn, to attract), 吸收 (xīshōu, to absorb), 吸管 (xīguǎn, straw)
我很期待下个月的旅行。 Wǒ hěn qīdài xià ge yuè de lǚxíng. I'm really looking forward to next month's trip.
Characters with two readings
The HSK 4 list has several pairs with the same character but a different sound. Listening questions often test them.
- 倒车: dǎochē (to change buses) vs dàochē (to reverse a car)
- 挑: tiāo (to choose, as in 挑选) vs tiǎo (to stir up, as in 挑战)
- 划: huá (to row a boat) vs huà (to draw a line, as in 计划)
- 卷: juǎn (to roll up) vs juàn (as in 试卷, test paper)
- 着: zháo (to touch, succeed), as in 睡着, 着急 and 着火
他昨天晚上十二点才睡着。 Tā zuótiān wǎnshang shí'èr diǎn cái shuìzháo. He didn't fall asleep until midnight last night.
着 in 睡着 is a result complement. Our guide to result complements shows how this pattern works.
Near-synonyms
Many HSK 4 words have a close partner. Usually one is more spoken and the other more formal.
| Pair | Pinyin | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| 渐渐 / 逐渐 | jiànjiàn / zhújiàn | Both mean "gradually"; 逐渐 is more formal |
| 想念 / 怀念 | xiǎngniàn / huáiniàn | 想念 is missing someone now; 怀念 is missing the past |
| 遇见 / 遇到 | yùjiàn / yùdào | 遇见 is for people; 遇到 also works for problems |
| 丈夫 / 老公 | zhàngfu / lǎogōng | Both mean "husband"; 老公 is casual |
| 妻子 / 老婆 | qīzi / lǎopo | Both mean "wife"; 老婆 is casual |
| 夫妻 / 夫妇 | fūqī / fūfù | Both mean "married couple"; 夫妇 is more formal |
New measure words
HSK 4 adds several measure words you need for the exam.
- 棵 (kē) for trees: 一棵树
- 首 (shǒu) for songs and poems: 一首歌
- 项 (xiàng) for tasks and items: 一项工作
- 阵 (zhèn) for short spells: 一阵雨
- 打 (dá) for a dozen: 一打鸡蛋
刚才下了一阵大雨。 Gāngcái xiàle yí zhèn dà yǔ. There was a short burst of heavy rain a moment ago.
Our measure words guide lists the common ones from earlier levels.
How to Study the HSK 4 Word List
1. Keep a steady daily number. At 10 new words a day, the 1,000 words take about 100 days. Reviews come first, then new words.
2. Use spaced repetition. Review each word just before you would forget it. The Learn Chinese app has every HSK 4 word with audio, SRS flashcards and stroke order, so you can learn and review in one place.
3. Learn in phrases. Pair verbs with their usual objects: 提出意见 (tíchū yìjiàn, to raise an opinion), 养成习惯 (yǎngchéng xíguàn, to form a habit), 引起注意 (yǐnqǐ zhùyì, to attract attention).
4. Don't skip words that look familiar. Check the pinyin of every entry. 才 here is cái meaning "talent", not "only then", and 别 is bié meaning "to pin".
5. Write the characters you mix up. 即 and 既, 律 and 建, 历 and 厉 look close. A short dictation session with the tingxie method helps.
6. Read every day. Words stick when you meet them in context. Choose short texts where you know most of the words, and reread them.
For a full schedule with grammar and mock tests, follow the 16-week plan in our HSK 4 study guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many words are on the HSK 4 vocabulary list?
Under the New HSK 3.0 standard, Level 4 adds 1,000 new words. Together with Levels 1 to 3, that makes 3,245 words in total. The older HSK 2.0 Level 4 list had 1,200 words in total, so check which version your exam uses on chinesetest.cn.
Why are simple characters like 打 and 次 on the HSK 4 list?
Because the list counts each reading and meaning as its own entry. You learned 打 (dǎ, to hit) and 次 (cì, time) earlier, but HSK 4 adds 打 (dá, dozen) and 次 (cì, second-rate). These new senses are easy to miss if you skip words that look familiar.
How long does it take to learn the HSK 4 word list?
At 10 new words a day, the 1,000 new words take about 100 days, plus daily reviews. Most learners should plan for around four months, and longer if they also spend time on reading, listening and mock tests.
Do I need to know the HSK 1, 2 and 3 words for HSK 4?
Yes. The levels build on each other, so the HSK 4 exam can use any of the 3,245 words from Levels 1 to 4. The 1,000 words on this page are only the new ones for Level 4.
Which HSK 4 words should I learn first?
Start with the words you will use or hear every day: feelings, study and work, phones and the internet, and shopping. Then add the formal written words, such as 此外, 以及, 是否 and 位于, because they appear in almost every reading text.
What's Next
Once these words feel familiar, move on to the HSK 5 vocabulary list, which adds 1,071 more words for a total of 4,316. To turn your new words into correct sentences, work through the grammar in the HSK 4 study guide alongside this list.
Learn Chinese is free to download on iOS and Android. All 1,000 HSK 4 words are in its free dictionary with audio, and Learn Chinese Pro adds the HSK 4 lessons, flashcards and every mock test to help you prepare.
