What the app will study
499 cards ready for the app
All 500 words on the HSK 3 exam list in effect from July 2026. They sit on top of HSK 1 and HSK 2. A line that pairs a word with its English meaning becomes a flashcard. These notes do not.
The list writes 得 twice. One card below carries both meanings. dé is to get, and děi is must. The HSK 2 得 is different, the light de after a verb.
The app adds pinyin, and these characters change reading. 长 here is zhǎng, to grow, not cháng. 还 is huán, to give back, not hái. 会 is a meeting, not the word for can. 发 alone is fā, but in 头发 it is fà. 干 in 干活 is gàn, to do, but in 干净 it is gān. 行 alone is xíng, but in 银行 it is háng. 只 is zhǐ, only, not the animal measure word zhī. 为 and 为了 are wèi, but in 认为 the 为 is wéi. 地 here is dì, a place, not the light de before a verb. 音乐 ends in yuè. 子 on the end of a noun is a light zi.
把 puts the thing you handle in front of the verb, as in 把书打开. 被 lets the receiver of the action come first. 才 means not until, later than you expected. 就 from HSK 2 is earlier than 才. 又 is again for something that already happened. 再 from HSK 1 is again for later. 更 makes a comparison stronger.
如果 is if. 不但 and 而且 go together as not only and also. 或者 is or in a statement. 还是 from HSK 2 is or in a question. 必须 is a strong must. 得, read děi, is the spoken must. 应该 and 该 are should.
以为 is what you wrongly assumed. 认为 is the opinion you actually hold. 咱们 includes the person you are talking to. 我们 can leave that person out.
矮 is short in height. 短 is short in length. 长 on this list is zhǎng, to grow. The HSK 2 长 is cháng, long. 老 is old in age. 旧 is old and not new.
站 on this list means to stand. The HSK 2 站 was a station. 过去 here is the past. The HSK 2 过去 was to go over.
角 and 毛 are both one tenth of a yuan in a price. 米 here is a meter, not rice. 斤 is about half a kilogram.
