This character is pronounced as “ye” so the big first stroke reminds me of the “y” of “ye”.

The lower half of the character reminds me of a comma.

也 (yě) can be compared to remembering a simple gesture of agreement. Just like nodding your head, the character 也 consists of two horizontal strokes that resemble the motion of affirming or saying “yes.” This analogy can help you recall the shape and structure of 也 when writing it.

the character 也 as a person standing next to something, or two objects side by side. The curve at the bottom can represent one object, and the vertical stroke on the right could represent another, both standing together, meaning “also” or “too.”

There are two compound in this character with “gou” strokes. We can link this observation to the entire character for “also” by remembering that “gou” does not exist by itself—it only exists if it is also a part of another stroke.

In a very abstract way, the character reminds me of a “yo” hand sign (2 fingers up and the thumb sticking out on the side). I can imagine someone doing the handsign and saying an elongated “yeaaaaaah” which is similar to the pronunciation of the character.
