The way I remember the character for Hungry 饿 is by thinking of it in two parts on part is the radical for food 饣and the character for me 我. so if there is food 饣right next to me 我 then of coarse I must be Hungry 饿。

This character has the radical for food, and also the character meaning I in it, if I want food, I am hungry.

how i memorize this character: left hand side is the food radical, and right hand side of this character is “我“, so it reminds me of “me” being in a “restaurant”, and when i am in a restaurant i am usually hungry.

one can either look at it as the food radical with 我 meaning me or I… so food and me, together meaning hunger. Or the food radical with a hand and a dagger which is ready to kill for food because of hunger.

The right part looks like 我 character (me), and the left par is the radical 饣(food). Which I associate with I want food; this helps me remember the meaning of HUNGRY.

I remember this character because it has the word 我 which means me, and then the radical for food, so I often just associate it with “I want food”.

The radical for food plus a character that looks like 我 (I/me) seems like it is saying “I want to be close to food” aka I am HUNGRY.

The left side has the food radical and the right side has the character that means “I”. This is true since I am hungry all the time.

The radical for food is beside what looks like 我 -I/me- so it seems like you are saying “I want to be close to food” aka I am HUNGRY.

“I am hungry” is the key phrase to memorize this character because it contains the food radical as well as 我 in it.

left side is from 饭 and right side from 我. We combine them: I need food (hungry)

I associate the character “hungry” with food – 饭, and me – 我, so when we want to eat we are hungry

饭 radical and 我 (me, I), so can literally mean giving food to a hungry person, thus hungry

I’m always hungry so when I see 我, I already know what it is.
