10,000 most common Chinese words
Ranked by how often each word turns up in everyday Chinese, with its meaning in English.
Chinese has no inflection at all — no tenses, no plurals, no cases — so a word in this list is the word, in every context it appears. The difficulty moves elsewhere: to tone, and to which characters combine with which.
