池
いけ · ike · JLPT N5 · noun
pond
🐟💧 池 = water 氵 + 也; ike sounds like icky — an icky green pond
The left side 氵 is the water radical, found in 海 (sea) and 湖 (lake) too. The right side 也 mainly lends the sound for the on-reading chi. For the native reading ike, lean on the pun: an icky, algae-covered pond.
