The most beginner level Chinese language test HSK 1 contains 100 words, one of which is 爬山 (literally climb mountains, but it is more like ”hiking” in reality). It feels such an outlier in the list of 100 basic words, but it is such a common hobby it was put there. I wonder what would be a similar word they would put to language test of your language that otherwise contained 99 most common words? I guess for Finnish it would be sauna?
