To pass HSK Level 1, candidates are required to master 150 commonly used vocabulary words. These words form the foundation for understanding basic Chinese sentences and engaging in simple daily conversations.
The vocabulary list includes essential terms related to greetings, self-introduction, numbers, family members, daily routines, food, time, directions, and polite expressions. For example, candidates should be familiar with words like 你好 (nǐ hǎo, “hello”), 谢谢 (xiè xie, “thank you”), and numbers from 一 (yī, “one”) to 十 (shí, “ten”).
Mastering these 150 words enables learners to communicate effectively in straightforward, everyday scenarios, such as introducing themselves, asking for directions, or expressing basic needs. This vocabulary serves as a stepping stone for further Chinese language study and proficiency development.
