<p>For what it's worth, I feel the HSK committee here is being frankly unreasonable with all the 儿化 variants it lists:</p>

<ul>
<li>一点儿</li>
<li>干活儿</li>
<li>大伙儿</li>
<li>纳闷儿</li>
<li>纽扣儿</li>
<li>馅儿</li>
<li>心眼儿</li>
<li>使劲儿</li>
<li>墨水儿 (seriously???)</li>
<li>大伙儿</li>
</ul>

<p>are all things that you'd never hear in a news broadcast, while 墨水 etc would be, but are not listed in the HSK vocab.
On the other hand, they list as single-character words things that I'd never hear without 子: 梨子, 桃子 (are the only two I can think of now).</p>

<p>According to the official <a href="http://www.chinesetest.cn/userfiles/file/HSK/HSK-2012.xls" rel="noreferrer">HSK1 vocabulary list</a> published by Hanban in September 2012, erhua variants may occur in the test since they are included in the vocabulary list.</p>

<p>So you should focus on both non-erhua and erhua variants of the words.</p>

<p>Is it common for the HSK to include erhua variants instead of non-erhua? My understanding is that erhua variants are most common in Beijing. Should I focus my vocabulary on learning erhua variants?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-02-04)

MDBG lists 一点儿 as [not an HSK entry](https://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=worddict&wdrst=0&wdqb=%E4%B8%80%E7%82%B9%E5%84%BF). I've seen other [lists](http://www.hsk.academy/en/hsk_1) that do say it is an HSK entry.

Is it common for the HSK to include erhua variants instead of non-erhua? My understanding is that erhua variants are most common in Beijing. Should I focus my vocabulary on learning erhua variants?

So you should focus on both non-erhua and erhua variants of the words.

For what it's worth, I feel the HSK committee here is being frankly unreasonable with all the 儿化 variants it lists:

* 一点儿
* 干活儿
* 大伙儿
* 纳闷儿
* 纽扣儿
* 馅儿
* 心眼儿
* 使劲儿
* 墨水儿 (seriously???)
* 大伙儿

are all things that you'd never hear in a news broadcast, while 墨水 etc would be, but are not listed in the HSK vocab.
On the other hand, they list as single-character words things that I'd never hear without 子: 梨子, 桃子 (are the only two I can think of now).
