HSK 2 words

All 200 HSK 2 words, with English meanings plus direction words, particles, and readings beginners mix up.

All 200 words on the HSK 2 exam list in effect from July 2026. They sit on top of the 300 HSK 1 words. A line that pairs a word with its English meaning becomes a flashcard. These notes do not.
The list writes 花 and 过 twice, once for each meaning. Each is a single card below, with both meanings.
The app adds pinyin from the characters. Check these readings. 长 is cháng, long, not zhǎng. 教 is jiāo, to teach, not jiào. 得 and 地 are both de here, not děi and not dì. 着 is zhe, not zháo. 累 is lèi, tired. 还是 is háishi. In 快乐 the second character is lè.
来 is toward you and 去 is away from you. 上来, 上去, 下来, 下去, 进来, 进去, 出来, 出去, 回来, 回去, 过来, and 过去 all follow that. 起来 means to get up, or that an action starts.
的 from HSK 1 links a description to a noun. 得 links an action to how it goes. 地 links a description to an action. In these uses all three sound like de.
比 compares two things, and the adjective follows the second one. 最 means the most. 已经 means already. 快要 means about to. 着 means an action is still going on. A light 过 means you have done it at some time.
因为 is the reason and 所以 is the result. 虽然 is although and 但是 is but. 还是 is or when you are choosing, and it can also mean still.
开始 is the beginning and 完 is the end of an action. 记得 is to remember and 忘 is to forget. 爷爷 is father's father and 奶奶 is father's mother.
红茶 is black tea. Chinese names it with red, and English names it with black. 绿茶 is green tea. 酒店 is a hotel on this list. In some cities people also use that word for a restaurant.
