HSK 6 Vocabulary List: All 1,140 New Words with Pinyin (New HSK 3.0)

Published

The HSK 6 vocabulary list has 1,140 new words under the New HSK 3.0 standard, which brings the total for Levels 1 to 6 to 5,456 words. This page gives you the full HSK 6 word list with pinyin and English meanings, the most useful word groups with example sentences, and practical tips for learning them.

This page is a reference list. If you want a week-by-week plan with grammar and reading practice, follow our HSK 6 study guide and come back here to look up and review words.

What Is on the HSK 6 Vocabulary List

HSK 6 words help you read and discuss real-world topics: news, business, law, health, society and culture. Many of them are formal, but not all. The list also has everyday words you may have missed, like 宠物 (chǒngwù, pet), 拖鞋 (tuōxié, slippers) and 微波炉 (wēibōlú, microwave oven).

A large part of the list is built from characters you already know. If you know 捐 (juān, to donate), then 捐款 (juānkuǎn), 捐赠 (juānzèng) and 捐助 (juānzhù) are easy to read. The challenge at this level is less about reading new characters and more about knowing which word fits which situation.

HSK 6 vs HSK 5: what changes

HSK 5 added 1,071 new words for a total of 4,316. HSK 6 adds 1,140, the largest single list in Levels 1 to 6. If you are still working on the previous level, start with the HSK 5 vocabulary list.

The style also shifts. HSK 5 words are often formal versions of words you know. HSK 6 words often belong to a specific field, such as finance (股票, gǔpiào, stock), law (原告, yuángào, plaintiff) or medicine (症状, zhèngzhuàng, symptom). You will also see short classical function words like 于 (yú), 若 (ruò) and 便 (biàn), which appear in formal writing every day.

New HSK 6 vocabulary vs the old HSK 2.0 list

The old HSK 2.0 Level 6 list had 5,000 words in total, with 2,500 of them added at Level 6. The New HSK 3.0 list has 5,456 words in total at Level 6, but it spreads them more evenly across the levels, so each step is smaller. The two lists overlap but are not identical, so do not assume an old HSK 6 list matches the new one.

The exam is in transition between the two versions, and which one is offered can depend on your test center and date. Check the current format on the official site, chinesetest.cn. For a full comparison, see HSK 3.0 vs HSK 2.0.

The Most Useful HSK 6 Word Groups

Learning words by topic makes them easier to remember, because they appear together in real texts. Start with these groups.

News and announcements

News reports use a small set of formal words again and again.

Word Pinyin Meaning
近日 jìnrì recently
透露 tòulù to reveal; to disclose
截至 jiézhì up to; as of (a date)
发言人 fāyánrén spokesperson
出台 chūtái to issue (a policy)
此次 cǐcì this time
  • 公司近日透露,新产品将于下个月上市。 (Gōngsī jìnrì tòulù, xīn chǎnpǐn jiāng yú xià ge yuè shàngshì.) The company recently revealed that the new product will go on sale next month.
  • 截至昨天,已有三百多人报名参赛。 (Jiézhì zuótiān, yǐ yǒu sānbǎi duō rén bàomíng cānsài.) As of yesterday, more than 300 people had signed up for the competition.

Money, work and business

Word Pinyin Meaning
股票 gǔpiào stock; share
理财 lǐcái to manage money
账户 zhànghù bank account
薪水 xīnshui salary
招聘 zhāopìn to recruit
岗位 gǎngwèi post; job
  • 很多年轻人开始学习理财。 (Hěn duō niánqīngrén kāishǐ xuéxí lǐcái.) Many young people are starting to learn how to manage their money.
  • 这家公司正在招聘新员工。 (Zhè jiā gōngsī zhèngzài zhāopìn xīn yuángōng.) This company is hiring new staff.

Notice how one character can carry several meanings. 炒 (chǎo) means to stir-fry in 炒菜 (chǎocài), but 炒股 (chǎogǔ) means to trade stocks and 炒作 (chǎozuò) means to hype something up.

Law and society

Word Pinyin Meaning
法庭 fǎtíng court
原告 yuángào plaintiff
被告 bèigào defendant
打官司 dǎ guānsi to go to court
纠纷 jiūfēn dispute
犯罪 fànzuì to commit a crime
  • 他们为了这件事打了两年官司。 (Tāmen wèile zhè jiàn shì dǎle liǎng nián guānsi.) They were in a legal battle over this for two years.

Health and the body

Word Pinyin Meaning
患者 huànzhě patient
症状 zhèngzhuàng symptom
发炎 fāyán to become inflamed
康复 kāngfù to recover
心脏 xīnzàng heart
肺 fèi lung
  • 医生说他的症状不严重,很快就能康复。 (Yīshēng shuō tā de zhèngzhuàng bù yánzhòng, hěn kuài jiù néng kāngfù.) The doctor said his symptoms are not serious and he will recover soon.

Everyday words you still need

Not every HSK 6 word is formal. These come up in normal conversation.

Word Pinyin Meaning
待会儿 dāihuìr in a moment
晕车 yùnchē to be carsick
让座 ràngzuò to give up one's seat
开夜车 kāi yèchē to work late into the night
算了 suànle forget it; never mind
  • 待会儿我给你打电话。 (Dāihuìr wǒ gěi nǐ dǎ diànhuà.) I'll call you in a moment.
  • 为了明天的考试,我昨晚开夜车了。 (Wèile míngtiān de kǎoshì, wǒ zuówǎn kāi yèchē le.) I stayed up late last night studying for tomorrow's exam.

Words like 用得着 (yòngdezháo, to need) and 看得起 (kàndeqǐ, to respect) are potential complements. Our guide to potential complements explains the pattern.

  • 你用得着这么生气吗? (Nǐ yòngdezháo zhème shēngqì ma?) Do you really need to get this angry?

Word families that share a character

Some groups of HSK 6 words share a character and look alike, but they are used differently.

  • 遭到, 遭受, 遭遇 all describe something bad happening to you. 遭到 often goes with criticism or refusal: 遭到批评 (zāodào pīpíng, to be criticized). 遭受 goes with losses or harm: 遭受损失 (zāoshòu sǔnshī, to suffer losses). 遭遇 can also be a noun: 他的遭遇让人同情。 (Tā de zāoyù ràng rén tóngqíng.) What happened to him makes people feel sympathy.
  • 捐款 and 捐赠 both mean to donate. 捐款 already contains its object (money), so you say 给学校捐款 (gěi xuéxiào juānkuǎn, to donate money to a school). 捐赠 takes an object: 捐赠图书 (juānzèng túshū, to donate books).
  • 首次, 首相, 首脑, 首席 all use 首 (shǒu, head, first): first time, prime minister, head of state, chief.

The list also includes measure words like 趟 (tàng, trip), 番 (fān, round) and 成 (chéng, ten percent). If measure words are still a weak point, review our Chinese measure words guide.

Characters with two readings

Several HSK 6 entries use a familiar character with a less common reading. Learn each one with its own example.

  • 看 kān (to look after): 你帮我看一下孩子。 (Nǐ bāng wǒ kān yíxià háizi.) Please watch the kids for me for a moment.
  • 当 dàng (to treat as): 别把我当成小孩子。 (Bié bǎ wǒ dàngchéng xiǎo háizi.) Don't treat me like a child.
  • 转 zhuàn (to spin): 轮子转得很快。 (Lúnzi zhuàn de hěn kuài.) The wheel is spinning fast.
  • 晕 yūn (dizzy) and yùn (motion sick): 我头晕 (wǒ tóu yūn, I feel dizzy), but 我晕车 (wǒ yùnchē, I get carsick).
  • 露 lòu (to show, in speech) and lù (in formal words): 露脸 (lòuliǎn, to show one's face), but 暴露 (bàolù, to expose).

How to Study the HSK 6 Word List

Learn words in the frames they appear in. A formal word is often used with the same partners. Learn 采纳建议 (cǎinà jiànyì, to adopt a suggestion), not just 采纳.

Group by topic, then by character. Study a topic group for a week while reading about that topic. Then link new words to characters you already know.

Use spaced repetition every day. About 10 new words a day, with reviews, gets you through the list in about four months. The Learn Chinese app has all 1,140 HSK 6 words with audio, SRS flashcards and stroke order, so you can review the list wherever you are.

Read more than you drill. HSK 6 words are less common, so flashcards alone are not enough. Meet each word in real texts. The HSK 6 study guide suggests what to read and how to fit it into a plan.

Test yourself on the characters you confuse. Short dictation is a fast way to catch them. Try the tingxie method with ten words at a time.

Full HSK 6 Vocabulary List (A to Z)

Here are all 1,140 words for HSK 6 in the New HSK 3.0 lists, sorted by pinyin and grouped by first letter. Together with the earlier levels, that makes 5,456 words.

These counts follow the 2021 HSK 3.0 standard (GF0025-2021). The exam syllabus published in late 2025 is reported to use shorter lists for some levels, so check HSK 3.0 vs HSK 2.0 and the official site chinesetest.cn for the list your exam uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many words are on the HSK 6 vocabulary list?

Under the New HSK 3.0 word lists, HSK 6 adds 1,140 new words, for 5,456 words in total across Levels 1 to 6. The old HSK 2.0 Level 6 list had 5,000 words in total. Check which version your exam uses on chinesetest.cn.

Is the HSK 6 word list enough to pass the exam?

The list is the core, but HSK 6 texts are authentic and wide-ranging, so you will meet words that are not on it. Read a lot so you can guess unknown words from their characters and context, and do practice papers in the version you will take.

How long does it take to learn 1,140 HSK 6 words?

At 10 new words a day, the list takes about 114 days, plus daily reviews. Many learners need longer, because HSK 6 words are less frequent and need more exposure through reading before they stick.

Can I use an old HSK 6 word list from HSK 2.0?

Yes, if your exam still uses the 2.0 paper. The two lists overlap but are not the same, and the totals differ. If you are not taking the exam soon, the 3.0 list is a good long-term choice because it follows the current standard.

Should I learn every HSK 6 word to write it by hand?

Focus on recognizing all of them and writing the ones you need most often. Whether handwriting is tested depends on the exam version and on whether the test is paper-based or computer-based, so check chinesetest.cn.

What's Next

HSK 6 is the last level of the app's word lists, but it is not the end of the New HSK 3.0 standard, which adds an advanced band, Levels 7 to 9, above it. Check chinesetest.cn for how those levels are currently offered. For a full study plan at this level, use the HSK 6 study guide, and to understand the test itself, read our guide to HSK exam format and scoring.

Learn Chinese is free to download on iOS and Android. All 5,456 HSK 1-6 words are in its free dictionary with audio, and Learn Chinese Pro adds the HSK 3-6 lessons, flashcards and every mock test to help you learn this list.
