What the levels mean
The legacy lists preserve our archived vocabulary reference. HSK 2.0 and HSK 3.0 have different word lists, so a word’s level can change between versions.
English meanings are brief study aids, not official exam definitions. They come from the public-domain CedPane glossary and independently written Sensoba glosses. A word’s meaning can change with context.
