Egg


Radical Combination


Meaning

Egg

Mnemonic

Two pools, both altered and not quite like a pool you’ve seen before are put together and flipped around – this is an egg. One pool is the egg white, the other pool is the egg yolk. They’re different, but similar.

Separate the two pools from one another. Now the pools look like the kanji. The kanji is one white pool and one yellow pool. Neat, huh?

Mnemonic

You remember Tamagotchi (たまご), right? Well, Tamagotchi is an egg, and the toy looks like an egg, so it’s pretty easy to remember that tamago means egg.

Just think Tamagotchi whenever you see this kanji. Tamagotchi = tamago = egg. Easy!
