We make suggestions using our mouth; and the name of the character is “ba,” as in dad; the second character of this word can also be found in 爸

The character looks like a mouth suggesting something to someone else. Since the radical on the right is similar to dad, it is like a child’s mouth suggesting something to their dad.

The character on the right is also in 爸 and sounds like ba, and the purpose of this word is to soften the tone when making a suggestion(with our mouth represented on the left), which we would do when speaking to our parents.

recall writing the character 吧, think of it as a combination of two components: 口 (kǒu) meaning “mouth” and 巴 (bā) representing a sound. Start with the 口 shape and add the 巴 stroke inside. This character is pronounced as “ba” in Mandarin Chinese.

i think the top part of the second radical of ba looks like a side ways B, which reminds me that its pronouced as ba

it looks like the letter b and a changed their position but b is upside down and inverted number 9. SUGGESTING that numbers and letters can be together.
