It looks like 2 people talking next to you (1 is sitting and 1 is a head because they’re close up to you). They’re both asking “and you?”

the middle part of the character looks like a conversation ballon just like in comics and the bottom right part looks like a question mark upsidedown.

The bottom hook of the character looks like the upside down question mark in Spanish and other languages. The top box is like the dot of the question.

There are two rectangles that resemble heads facing each other and when you ask question you have to look at them.

To recall writing the character 呢, you can think of it as a combination of the characters 口 (kǒu) and 二 (èr). The 口 represents a mouth, and the 二 represents the number two. So, 呢 can be visualized as “two mouths” or “two people talking.”

In the end part (y looking character) looks like upside down question mark. And 口 which means mouth is in the front. So I memorised as mouth and question mark.

呢 contains the “mouth” radical, indicating that it’s a part of speech/something you say. The character that looks similar to 七 in this character looks a little like an upside down question mark. It could help you to remember that you use 呢 to form certain questions.

This radical helps me picture a wide-open mouth. This radical is related to speech or anything involving talking.
