続ける

つづける · tsudukeru · JLPT N4 · verb-ichidan

to continue

🧵 続 = thread 糸 + sell 売: thread sold nonstop, so it continues

Sound hook: tsuzukeru starts like 'two zoo' — two zoo visits means you keep going back. It is the transitive partner of 続く (tsuzuku, something continues): with 続ける, you are the one keeping it going.
