Words and pinyin: the new HSK exam syllabus (新版HSK考试大纲, CLEC, November 2025, in effect July 2026), in its order. A small number after a word (本¹, 本²) means the syllabus lists it twice, for two meanings.

HSK 2.0: the level where the same word, with the same reading, was an entry in Hanban’s 2012 HSK 2.0 lists, as transcribed by hskhsk.com (MIT licence). 面条儿 and 面条 count as the same word. A word of two or more characters that HSK 2.0 only had inside a longer entry shows that entry and its level instead: “In 火车站 (HSK 2.0 level 2)” for 火车. Single characters show this only for a few set phrases, such as 踢 in 踢足球. Anything else is “New in HSK 3.0”. Where HSK 2.0 listed a word once, both meanings of a word listed twice show that level.

Meanings: Purlingual’s own for every word in HSK 1 to 6 and for the HSK 7–9 words the app taught before. In HSK 7–9 they’re also ours for words listed twice and for a few words where the dictionary’s first senses mislead. All other HSK 7–9 meanings are shortened from CC-CEDICT, used under CC BY-SA 4.0; our shortened versions are shared under the same licence.
