HSK 2 Vocabulary List with Words, Chinese, Pinyin [PDF]

汉语水平考试 (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) or Chinese Proficiency Test is a standardized test for Mandarin Chinese language proficiency for international students or non-native Chinese speakers. This HSK test is administered by the Hanban also known as Confucius Institute Headquarters. In this article, you’ll learn HSK 2 Vocabulary List with a Chinese character, Pinyin, and their brief English meaning.

The Chinese Language is one of the oldest and most influential languages around the world, spoken by more than 1.2 billion people. The main way to communicate with these large numbers of people and to understand their culture, tradition, habit is to capture their language. And the first step in learning Chinese is to take the HSK or Chinese Standard/Proficiency Test, since there is no alphabet system in Chinese, meaning that every single word is used for each meaning, so learning this language may seem complicated to many at the first time. But once you get used to it, there is no further problem.

For the benefit of language enthusiasts, the Chinese language standard or HSK is divided into six sections, with the number of semantics in each section given below.

  • HSK 1 Test: 150 words
  • HSK 2 Test: 300 words
  • HSK 3 Test: 600 words
  • HSK 4 Test: 1200 words
  • HSK 5 Test: 2500 words
  • HSK 6 Test: 5000 words
