嚷
rǎng · HSK 7
to shout
📣 mouth radical 口 + 襄; a mouth that RANG out loud — rǎng sounds like rang
The 口 mouth radical on the left tells you it is about the voice; the right side 襄 gives the rǎng sound. Hook the pinyin to English rang: a voice that rang out is a shout or a blurt.
嚷 — mouth 口 + 襄 (xiāng, phonetic)
嚷 is a phono-semantic compound. The mouth radical 口 signals an action involving the voice, while 襄 supplies the sound (originally xiāng, shifted to rǎng). It means to shout, yell, or make a loud clamor.
