辶 means to walk.
– a person is walking to the nearby building.

The inside of the character makes it look like a person is holding another person and this shows that they are close so the definition is what it looks like.

The radical means “to walk,” and the other part of the character looks like the part of the character “to hear or listen” so the way I remember it is that you need to walk close to someone to be able to hear them speak.

辶 is the radical, and it means to walk. “near enough to walk to”. The component on the right side is also in the character 听,which is pronounced “ting”, which sounds similar to this character – “jin”.

How I memorize this character: the. two dian’s (the stroke) are very “close to” each other.

the radical is walking and the the lower part of the character looks like two lines that are close to each other and not go into different directions as the “far” character.

although the left half of the character is ‘WALKING’, both halves are ‘CLOSE TO’ each other.

The walking radical signifies that this character has something to do with distance, and the 斤 part of the character looks like a hand pointing down at the ground, as you could point to something that is close to you. Together, this character reminds me of something that you could point at and walk to, so something that is close.

Left radical means walking and the right side has part of the character that means to listen.

The component on the right side is also in the character 听。 If we are in the distance of hearding someone or something we are pretty close to it.

The “walking” radical has a character inside it. It’s similar to the character 听 which means to listen. You have to be close to someone if you want to hear them.

The inside part looks like an old person holding a walking stick. Old people cannot walk far, so it must be CLOSE.

The way I remember this character is by thinking of the WALKING radical and how you need to be CLOSE TO someone to be able to LISTEN/HEAR what they say, as the second component of the character looks like 听, just leaving out the mouth radical

the second part of the character looks like a sideways N – NEAR, and a person is WALKING near this N
