The 1000 most common Mandarin Chinese words

中文（普通话） · ranked by frequency · with English translations

Mandarin has more first-language speakers than any other language on earth — over 900 million — and is the official language of mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore. This list gives the characters, the pinyin romanisation, and the English.

Mandarin has no conjugation, no gender, no plurals and no cases, which makes its grammar far gentler than most learners expect. The work is elsewhere: every syllable carries one of four tones and changing the tone changes the word, and the writing system has to be learned more or less separately from the speech. The commonest characters, though, are extraordinarily productive — a few hundred of them cover most of a page of ordinary text.
