Meaning Mnemonic

Take your fingers and wrap them around another person. This is called a hug. Just make sure you include all the stuff attached to your fingers, like your hands and arms too, otherwise it's more of a squeeze, and we don't want to do that to people.

Hints

Picture it like you're a baby who is new to hugs. You start with your fingers, spread them out and move forward. Now wrap all that stuff attached to your fingers around another person. You did it! You're hugging now!

Reading Mnemonic

Who do you love to hug the most? Your dad (だ)! He gives the best hugs. They're warm and big and tight and comforting. The kind of hug dads are really good at giving.

Hints

Imagine getting a nice, big hug from your dad. Mm. It's cozy and feels like home.
