博士 in real context
博士 is a HSK4-level word in Chinese meaning "n. 博士" in this vocabulary set. Every word on LangOria comes with a real example sentence, so you meet 博士 the way native speakers actually use it — not as an isolated dictionary entry, but inside a living Chinese sentence.
The example sentence for 博士 is: "汤川博士在科学研究上起了很重要的作用。" (Dr. Yukawa played an important part in the scientific study.). Learning 博士 through example sentences helps you internalize Chinese word order and collocations, so 博士 is ready the first time you actually need it.
Add 博士 to your HSK4 spaced-repetition review and it will resurface right before you are about to forget it — tomorrow, in three days, in a week. Combined with the rest of the Chinese HSK4 vocabulary set, a daily 45–65 minute loop is the fastest proven path from first exposure to confident, natural use of 博士.
About Chinese HSK4
HSK 4 is the upper-intermediate tier — 600 vocabulary words and the grammar needed to read Chinese newspapers, follow Chinese TV shows without subtitles, and discuss professional and cultural topics in Mandarin. HSK 4 is roughly equivalent to B2 in CEFR.
How to learn Chinese HSK4
HSK 4 takes 4-6 months on top of HSK 3. Continue reviewing HSK 1-3 (5-minute daily) and add 50-100 new HSK 4 words per week. Read Chinese news daily (BBC Chinese, Sixth Tone, SupChina), watch Chinese TV shows and movies with no subtitles, and try writing 500-1000 character pieces for correction. By the end of HSK 4 you should be able to work in a Mandarin-speaking environment.
Common questions about 博士 in Chinese
What level is 博士 in Chinese?
In LangOria's Chinese deck, 博士 sits at the HSK4 level of the language's recognized ability ladder (CEFR for most languages, JLPT for Japanese, HSK for Chinese). At this level you learn 博士 alongside the highest-frequency words you actually need.
How do I memorize 博士?
Rote repetition rarely sticks on its own. Learn 博士 inside its example sentence, say it out loud, and let spaced repetition bring it back at the right moments. The 45–65-minute daily loop is usually enough to anchor 博士 in long-term memory.
Where does the example for 博士 come from?
Every word — including 博士 — carries a real example drawn from the community-built Tatoeba sentence corpus: sentences written by native speakers, not synthetic textbook filler. That context is what makes 博士 memorable.
What should I learn after 博士?
Cover the remaining words at the HSK4 level, then move up. LangOria schedules spaced reviews and frequency-ordered decks, so 博士 reinforces the rest of your HSK4 Chinese vocabulary instead of standing alone.
