责备
zé bèi · HSK 7
to criticize
🫵 责 = demand/blame + 备 = fully; zé bèi sounds like say-bay harsh words at someone
责 already carries the sense of duty and blame, and 备 adds the sense of doing it fully. Pair them and you get heaping reproach on someone. Sound hook: zé bèi echoes say-bay, the harsh words you say to scold.
