Questions about this list

How many words are in this HSK 5 vocabulary list?

This list contains 1,600 entries introduced at HSK 5 in the 2025 syllabus. Earlier levels are not included in this count.

Is this the same as an HSK 2.0 list?

No. The list follows the 2025 syllabus. The HSK 2.0 column is a separate mapping; “Not mapped” means no matching entry was found in that source.

Where do the meanings and pronunciation come from?

English meanings are adapted from CC-CEDICT under CC BY-SA 4.0. Pinyin comes from the 2025 syllabus. Audio is synthesized speech, not an exam recording.
