  • nǚ (third tone, dipping)

woman; female; daughter (in 女儿)

Mnemonic

A person kneeling with the arms folded in front — the formal seated posture of early portraits. The long horizontal sweeping across the middle is those arms, and it is written last, which is what holds the character together. Note the vowel: nǚ has the ü of 绿 and 去, not the u of 努.

A memory aid written by HSK Guide editors. It is not an etymology and does not describe the historical origin of the character.
