Kanji - Level 14 - Radicals

Question 1

犭

Answer 1

Animal
This looks like a tail with some hairs coming off of it. It shouldn’t be confused with fingers though, because it’s curved, and the things sticking out are more erratic, like hair or fur would be. That’s why this radical is the animal radical.

Question 2

㦮

Answer 2

Bar
There are two drunkards here. That makes this radical a bar. Where else are you gonna drink?

Part

Question 4

勺

Answer 4

Pool

Question 5

公

Answer 5

Public

Question 7

Well
Think of this radical like a map you’re looking down on. There are four streets going through this small town. Right in the middle is the most important thing—the well. Everyone goes through the four streets to get to the well and get the water they crave.
