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.

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

The character looks like it is so hungry, its really tightly packed together, waiting to eat food in the middle section in which it is to be filled up.
