Mnemonic comic for 㝵

Translation

dé = d + e2: to obtain / old variant of 得[de2]

Mnemonic

A mnemonic is a short, deliberately ridiculous scene, built to be hard to forget. Who appears in it and where it takes place are how the pronunciation is stored; the objects in it stand for the parts the character is written with. That is the Marilyn Method, and the comic below is the same scene, drawn.

Don Quixote (d) rubs a magic lamp in the elevator’s kitchen (e2), and out swirls a genie (㝵). Don Quixote wishes for a big mug of coffee (旦). The genie raises a giant foam thumbs-up hand (寸) – wish granted! – and Don Quixote obtains (㝵) the steaming mug, which pops into his gauntlet.

How to pronounce 㝵

MandarinBanana teaches pronunciation with the Marilyn Method: every Pinyin syllable is one initial plus one final, the initial becomes a person, an animal or a deity, and the final becomes a place in your memory palace — with the tone deciding which part of that place the scene happens in. Remember the little story below for each half and the whole syllable comes back with them.

= Ø initial

“Ø” (nothing or null) is for Albert Einstein.

㝵 character breakdown

Chinese characters are built out of smaller characters. Each component carries a mnemonic symbol - one concrete object that stands in for it - and a mnemonic story hands those objects to the person and the place that stand for the pronunciation. Learn a component once and every character that reuses it gets easier.

Prompt snippets

The genie is a jade-green genie with a long braided black beard, a crimson turban set with a single gold jewel and a gold-embroidered purple vest; below the waist his body narrows into a swirl of green smoke rising from the spout of a small, polished brass oil lamp with a curled handle.
