Meaning

Primary

Fat

Mnemonic

You have a big guy here, with an extra drop of something below his thigh, hanging down. That's fat right there. He's so fat he has things of fat hanging off his fat.

Hints

Maybe you should touch the fat below his leg just to see what it is... feel it, and squeeze it. It'll help you to remember that this kanji means "fat."

Readings

On’yomi

たい, た

Kun’yomi

ふと

Nanori

おお

Mnemonic

This poor fat guy has trouble with a lot of things. One of the things he has the most trouble with is tying a tie (たい).

Hints

Imagine him trying to tie the tie but he can't lift his hands around to do it. You have to help him out. Another thing that might help you to remember this kanji's reading is that it's the same reading as 大 (or, one of the same readings). Similar kanji often have similar readings, which is a good thing to know when you have to guess (it's true with this one, anyways!).
