辛苦 is pronounced xīnkǔ and means “แข็ง, ยาก”. This word appears in HSK 4, one level of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi — the proficiency exam most Chinese courses are built around. Passive recognition of 辛苦 arrives quickly and leaves quickly. Active recall is slower to build and far more durable, so LexiTrail keeps returning the word to you at widening intervals rather than on a timer.
