HSK 5 Vocabulary List: All 1,071 New Words with Pinyin (New HSK 3.0)
The HSK 5 vocabulary list in the New HSK 3.0 standard has 1,071 new words. Added to Levels 1 to 4, that brings you to 4,316 words in total. Below you will find what changed from earlier levels, the most useful word groups with example sentences, tips on how to learn them, and the full HSK 5 word list with pinyin and English meanings.
This page is the word list. If you want a week-by-week plan, grammar patterns and reading practice, use our HSK 5 study guide alongside it.
What Is on the HSK 5 Vocabulary List?
HSK 5 is where Chinese moves from daily life into work, news and formal writing. Most of the 1,071 words fall into a few clear areas:
- Formal connectors and adverbs such as 从而, 因而, 即使 and 毕竟.
- Abstract nouns for ideas and opinions, such as 前提, 立场 and 逻辑.
- Business and economy words such as 成本, 利润 and 贸易.
- Society, law and the environment, such as 污染, 违法 and 灾害.
- Modern life and technology, such as 二维码, 软件 and 注册.
You will also find some plain everyday words, like 鼻子 (nose), 耳朵 (ear) and 蛋糕 (cake). The 3.0 standard placed some common words at higher levels than older lists did, so if you studied with older materials you may already know a few of them.
A small number of hanzi appear twice. For example, 编辑 is listed as biānjí (to edit) and as biānji (editor), and 吐 appears as tǔ (to spit) and tù (to vomit). Each reading counts as its own entry.
HSK 5 Word List: Changes from HSK 4 and HSK 2.0
Compared with HSK 4
HSK 4 adds 1,000 new words, for 3,245 in total. HSK 5 adds 1,071 more, so the jump is similar in size. The difference is register. HSK 4 words are mostly spoken and practical. Many HSK 5 words belong to written Chinese, where one formal word replaces a longer spoken phrase. If you need to review the previous level first, see the HSK 4 vocabulary list.
Compared with the old HSK 2.0 Level 5
The older HSK 2.0 Level 5 list had 1,300 new words and 2,500 words in total. Under HSK 3.0 the new-word count is a little lower, but the total is far higher: 4,316 words by the end of Level 5. That means HSK 3.0 Level 5 expects a much larger vocabulary than the old Level 5 did. For a full comparison of the two standards, read HSK 3.0 vs HSK 2.0.

Useful HSK 5 Word Groups with Examples
Learning words in groups makes them easier to remember and shows you how they work together. Here are eight groups taken from the HSK 5 hanzi list.
Formal connectors and adverbs
These words link ideas in articles and essays. They are the backbone of HSK 5 reading: 即使 (even if), 尽管 (although), 除非 (unless), 一旦 (once), 因而 (therefore), 以便 (so that), 毕竟 (after all), 无疑 (undoubtedly), 难以 (hard to), 依旧 (still).
- 即使明天下雨,比赛也会照常进行。 Jíshǐ míngtiān xià yǔ, bǐsài yě huì zhàocháng jìnxíng. Even if it rains tomorrow, the match will go ahead as planned.
- 他每天坚持跑步,因而身体越来越好。 Tā měitiān jiānchí pǎobù, yīn'ér shēntǐ yuè lái yuè hǎo. He runs every day, and as a result his health keeps improving.
- 这个问题一时难以解决。 Zhège wèntí yìshí nányǐ jiějué. This problem is hard to solve right away.
For the everyday versions of these links, see our list of Chinese conjunctions like 虽然 and 但是.
Verbs ending in 于
A set of two-character verbs ends in 于. They are short and formal, and each one replaces a longer phrase: 高于 (higher than), 低于 (lower than), 大于 (greater than), 有利于 (good for), 用于 (used for), 便于 (easy to), 出于 (out of, because of).
- 今年夏天的气温明显高于往年。 Jīnnián xiàtiān de qìwēn míngxiǎn gāoyú wǎngnián. This summer's temperatures are clearly higher than in past years.
- 多吃蔬菜有利于健康。 Duō chī shūcài yǒulì yú jiànkāng. Eating more vegetables is good for your health.
- 这笔钱主要用于购买设备。 Zhè bǐ qián zhǔyào yòngyú gòumǎi shèbèi. This money is mainly used to buy equipment.
Abstract nouns
HSK 5 texts discuss ideas, not just events. These nouns let you talk about reasons, positions and results: 前提 (precondition), 立场 (position), 动机 (motive), 逻辑 (logic), 思维 (thinking), 心态 (mindset), 代价 (price, cost), 现状 (current situation), 前景 (prospects).
- 我理解你的立场,但是我不同意你的看法。 Wǒ lǐjiě nǐ de lìchǎng, dànshì wǒ bù tóngyì nǐ de kànfǎ. I understand your position, but I don't agree with your view.
- 他为这次失误付出了很大的代价。 Tā wèi zhè cì shīwù fùchū le hěn dà de dàijià. He paid a high price for this mistake.
Business and economy
Expect these in reading passages about companies, shopping and the job market: 成本 (cost), 利润 (profit), 贸易 (trade), 资本 (capital), 客户 (client), 贷款 (loan), 签约 (to sign a contract), 协议 (agreement), 收购 (to acquire), 物价 (prices).
- 两家公司终于签订了合作协议。 Liǎng jiā gōngsī zhōngyú qiāndìng le hézuò xiéyì. The two companies finally signed a cooperation agreement.
- 原材料涨价以后,成本提高了,利润减少了。 Yuáncáiliào zhǎngjià yǐhòu, chéngběn tígāo le, lìrùn jiǎnshǎo le. After raw materials went up in price, costs rose and profits fell.
Society, law and the environment
News-style topics bring words like 污染 (pollution), 污水 (wastewater), 灾害 (disaster), 违法 (to break the law), 违反 (to violate), 罚款 (fine), 法规 (regulations), 治安 (public order) and 福利 (welfare).
- 工厂的污水严重污染了附近的河。 Gōngchǎng de wūshuǐ yánzhòng wūrǎn le fùjìn de hé. Wastewater from the factory has badly polluted the nearby river.
- 违反交通规则会被罚款。 Wéifǎn jiāotōng guīzé huì bèi fákuǎn. You can be fined for breaking traffic rules.
Modern life and technology
These are easy to practice because you use them every day on your phone: 二维码 (QR code), 视频 (video), 软件 (software), 硬件 (hardware), 鼠标 (mouse), 键盘 (keyboard), 微博 (Weibo), 注册 (to register), 搜索 (to search), 更新 (to update), 杀毒 (to remove viruses).
- 扫一下这个二维码就能注册。 Sǎo yíxià zhège èrwéimǎ jiù néng zhùcè. Just scan this QR code to sign up.
- 电脑中了病毒,得先杀毒。 Diànnǎo zhòng le bìngdú, děi xiān shādú. The computer has a virus, so we need to clean it first.
Measure words
HSK 5 adds several measure words. Learn each one with a typical noun: 一幅画 (a painting), 一匹马 (a horse), 一颗星星 (a star), 一朵花 (a flower), 一扇门 (a door), 第十届 (the tenth session).
- 墙上挂着一幅很旧的地图。 Qiáng shang guàzhe yì fú hěn jiù de dìtú. An old map hangs on the wall.
- 今年是第十届电影节。 Jīnnián shì dì-shí jiè diànyǐngjié. This year is the tenth film festival.
Our Chinese measure words guide covers the common ones from earlier levels.
Words with two readings
Some HSK 5 words change their pronunciation with their meaning. Learn the pair together so you don't mix them up.
- 吐 tǔ (to spit out) and 吐 tù (to vomit): 他晕车了,一路上吐了好几次。 Tā yùnchē le, yí lù shang tù le hǎo jǐ cì. He got carsick and threw up several times on the way.
- 落 là (to leave something behind): 我把手机落在出租车上了。 Wǒ bǎ shǒujī là zài chūzūchē shang le. I left my phone in the taxi.
- 待 dāi (to stay): 周末我一直在家待着。 Zhōumò wǒ yìzhí zài jiā dāizhe. I stayed at home the whole weekend.
Set phrases and chengyu
Real four-character idioms are rare on this list. The main fixed phrase is 酸甜苦辣 (sour, sweet, bitter and spicy), which describes all the ups and downs of life. The list also has the word 成语 itself and the polite reply 不敢当 (bùgǎndāng), used when someone praises you.
- 人生的酸甜苦辣,他都经历过。 Rénshēng de suān-tián-kǔ-là, tā dōu jīnglì guo. He has been through all the ups and downs of life.
- A: 你的中文太好了! B: 不敢当,还差得远呢。 A: Nǐ de Zhōngwén tài hǎo le! B: Bùgǎndāng, hái chà de yuǎn ne. A: Your Chinese is so good! B: You're too kind. I still have a long way to go.
How to Study the HSK 5 Words
A list of 1,071 words is a lot, but a steady routine works. The HSK 5 study guide has the full 18-week plan. Here are the key habits for the vocabulary itself:
- Learn about 10 new words a day. That finishes the list in roughly 107 days, which leaves room for reviews.
- Study by group, not only A to Z. The groups above help you connect words and see when to use each one.
- Learn collocations. Formal words come in pairs: 签订协议 (to sign an agreement), 缺乏经验 (to lack experience), 加强沟通 (to improve communication).
- Check tones on two-reading words. Say each pair aloud. If tones in longer words are still shaky, review the four Mandarin tones.
- Write the characters you confuse. Look-alike pairs such as 赔 (to compensate) and 陪 (to accompany) stick better after short tingxie dictation sessions.
- Read every day. Formal words are rare in conversation, so you need texts to meet them often.
In the Learn Chinese app, every HSK 5 word has built-in audio and is part of the SRS flashcard deck, with stroke order and a writing pad for practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many words are on the HSK 5 vocabulary list?
Under the New HSK 3.0 lists, HSK 5 adds 1,071 new words. Together with Levels 1 to 4, that makes 4,316 words in total. A few characters appear twice because they have two readings or two uses, and each counts as its own entry.
Is the HSK 5 word list the same as the old HSK 2.0 Level 5 list?
No. The HSK 2.0 Level 5 list had 1,300 new words and 2,500 words in total. The New HSK 3.0 list adds 1,071 new words at Level 5, but the total is much higher at 4,316, and many words sit at different levels. Check which version your exam uses on chinesetest.cn.
How long does it take to learn all HSK 5 words?
At 10 new words a day, the 1,071 words take about 107 days, plus time for reviews. Most learners need four to five months of steady work, and longer if they study only a few days a week.
Are there chengyu on the HSK 5 word list?
Very few. The word 成语 (chéngyǔ, idiom) itself is on the list, and the four-character phrase 酸甜苦辣 is the main fixed expression. You will still meet idioms in HSK 5 reading texts, so it helps to learn common ones as you read.
Do I need to write all HSK 5 hanzi by hand?
Reading recognition matters most. Whether handwriting is tested depends on the exam version and on paper-based or computer-based testing, so check the current rules on chinesetest.cn. Writing the characters you often confuse still helps you remember them.
