Corrections in HSK vocab list

[westmeadboy]

I downloaded an HSK vocab list a few months ago. Anyway, now I've had a chance to go through it, I found a few errors:

"3","850","交待","交待","jiāodài","tell; exhort; explain; make clear; confess; hand over","v"

becomes

"3","850","交代","交代","jiāodài","tell; exhort; explain; make clear; confess; hand over","v"

"4","3519","自悲","自悲","zìbēi","self-abased","adj"

becomes

"4","3519","自卑","自卑","zìbēi","self-abased","adj"

There appear to be lots of other entries where only the traditional characters are wrong. However, I was only focussing on entries with problematic simplified characters.

Disclaimer - these corrections are only as valid as the online dictionaries I use though I also got a native Chinese speaker to have a quick check.

Unfortunately, I cannot remember where I downloaded it from (though I think it was here) so this is my best bet for posting the corrections!

There are numerous HSK lists floating around. Probably originally based on the same source.

I'm using the one from the Mnemosyne deck, and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't have these mistakes.

If i'm not mistaken i downloaded the HSK lists from Mnemosyne as well a few months ago but haven't used them yet. I did a few checks and did find the errors pointed out by the OP. So, thanks for starting the thread and pointing out the errors.

The Mnemosyne HSK deck doesn't have these mistakes.

With those index numbers you posted, it probably was from the HSKFlashcards site. There are a few HSK lists on the web with varying numbers of words and also different errors, for example, with 时侯 (时候) or 黒 (黑). Besides the errors you posted, 苯 (笨) is another one that seems to still be in the HSKFlashcards list.

Renzhe, you're right. On second thought, i think i got the data from the HSK flashcardsite, i.e. http://www.hskflashcards.com/download.php.
