The radical of this character is 三点水 which is water. The right side of the character is like a face and a mouth of a person. So, it is like a person is very thirsty and want to drink water.

two eyes and a sad face (of the water radical) patiently watching an ice cube in the container dry from the heat of the sun above so they can drink it and fulfill their thirst once it turns into liquid water..

The water radical on this character helps me remember its meaning because when you are thirsty you drink water.

If you replace the mouth radical of “喝“ with water radical, it turns into a word “thirsty”.

remembering 喝 and the water radical helps in a way that you want to put some water to drink next to you because you are thirsty

The left radical means water and the right side has part of the character that means to drink. One might want to drink when there is water beside them.

it looks like the 喝 character which means drink, and but instead of the 口, there is a water radical because when you are thirsty you want to drink water or liquids.

This one is easy to remember because the left part of the “drink” character is replaced with water radical. The meaning is similar too, drink and thirsty.

The radical of this character is 水 和 口, the water and mouth character. So this reminds me of thirst and mouth, meaning it could be someone wanting to drink.

the radical combinations of this character is water and drink so when I memorize this character I think of that. So, it is easy to understand the meaning of thirsty by looking at two radicals of it.

The first radical is water, and the second is drink where the water radical replaces mouth, so we want to drink
