Meaning Mnemonic

Nice! This kanji is the same as the radical that looks just like it (down to the meaning, even!). The radical is nine and the kanji is nine, making the meaning of this kanji really easy to remember as long as you know the radical first.

Hints

If you know your radicals well, this kanji will be a breeze!

Reading Mnemonic

Although this kanji has two on'yomi to learn, the pronunciations of those two on'yomi are very similar, so that should make them easier to remember.

When you were nine your favorite foods were cookies (く) and cucumbers (きゅう). Yum yum!

Hints

Picture nine-year-old you, lining up nine cookies and nine cucumbers. You dip a cookie in milk and bite into it, then dip a cucumber in and take a bite. Nine bites each until they're all gone. Ah, you miss being nine.
