Good afternyan, and here's my for today: 色, color.

I don't really have a good mnemonic for remembering this kanji. suggested a rainbow, like over a waterfall, since that has 7 colors.

Thanks for studying with me today! ^_^

Good afternyan! Today's is 茶, tea.

It's a little unconventional, but if you flip this upside down, it becomes a little cup sitting on the grass with tea leaves brewing inside, and the scent rising off of the brew. ^_^

またあした!

It's time for my Today is 米, rice.

I've found that it works really well to think of 米 as a cluster of rice grains. Many kanji are like that. If you have a different way to remember it, please share! ^_^

みゃりがとう for studying with me!

Good afternyan, and here's my daily featuring 麦, wheat/barley!

It took me a while to work out how to remember this kanji, but it's best remembered as a sheaf of wheat sticking up out of the ground with the roots below.

Thanks and また明日!

Good afternyan! Today's is 鳴, chirp!

It's actually 鳥(bird) and 口(mouth), so it's easy to keep track of if you know those two kanji. Though this kanji is also used for all sorts of general noises now.

Thanks for studying with me! またあした!

Good afternyan! My for today is 羽, feathers.

This kanji has been simplified a lot, but it makes it easier to see that it's based on feathered wings. ^_^

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it. またあした!

Good afternyan! Today's is 鳥, bird!

This also continues our streak of kanji that look remarkably like their concepts, as this looks very much like a bird with its wing out.

I'm also getting a little hungry from this kanji. XD

にゃりがとう!

Good afternyan! I'm covering 魚, fish, for my today!

Like several of the recent kanji I've covered, this was originally based on the depiction of a fish. You have the head on top, the scaly body in the middle, and the fin at the end.

もぐもぐ!

5 6

Good afternyan! I'm covering 牛, cow, for my today.

A good way to see this is as a simplified frontal view of a bull's head - horns on top with the lines in the shape of the head.

If you have a different way to remember, that works too! ^_^

5 4

Welcome to my today featuring 馬, horse!

This is another kanji where it strongly resembles its concept - you have the barrel-like body, four legs, and a tail. Sometimes it's easier to do that than to break it down into components.

またあした!

5 4

Good afternyan! My today is 肉, meat!

This kanji looks almost exactly like a chunk of meat, so it's a really easy one to remember. ^_^

And it has the advantage of being very もぐもぐ!

にゃりがとう! See you tomorrow!

Good afternyan, and here's my featuring 食, eating!

This is another tough one to associate; I think of this as a person wearing a hat putting food in their mouth, thus "eating".

Why the hat? To keep the sun off, of course. ^_^

いただきます!

2 3

Welcome to my Today I'm featuring 元, beginning.

I remember this kanji because it reminds me of 先(sen), as in 先生(sensei), referring to "one who came before". 元 is younger and more energetic, like they were when they were young.

また明日!

5 3

こんいちにゃ! My for today is 作, make/build.

This kanji is composed of 亻, the person radical, and 乍, which looks like a saw. So, a person using a saw to make something is a good way to remember this kanji. ^_^

Until tomorrow, また明日!

6 2

Good afternyan! My for today is 算, calculate!

Components: 竹(bamboo) and 具(tool). Given one of the meanings is "abacus", the way I remember this is a hand holding an abacus while the fingers of the other hand flip the beads.

にゃりがとう!

7 5

Good afternyan and welcome to my featuring 理, logic!

Think of this as the process or arrangement of logic - so you have to carefully shape it. So 王 is shaped with the 里.

Fun fact, this kanji originally referred to processing jade.

またにゃ!

Good evenyan! Today's is 才! It means genius or talented.

This one is pretty straightforward, only three strokes, so it was tough for me to come up with a mnemonic. But you can remember it as someone moving gracefully.

Thanks for stopping by!

4 3

Good evenyan and here's my 知, (to) know!

I came up with a good way to remember this and I'm happy to share it!

The components are 矢, arrow, and 口, mouth. So, speaking wisdom is like shooting arrows from your mouth. ^_^

Thanks and また明日!

4 5

Good afternyan! My for today is 考, consider!

It was a bit challenging to come up with a mnemonic for this kanji, but you know the "Thinker" statue? The pose is strikingly similar to the shape of this kanji. So there you have it!

またあした!

4 4

Good evenyan and welcome to my for today: 思, think.

How I symbolize this is 田 (rice field) and 心, heart/mind. You have to use your head and think to plan out a rice field so it grows well.

See you tomorrow! にゃりがとう!
