親
おや · oya · JLPT N4 · noun
parent
👪 親 = stand (立) + tree (木) + see (見): the one who watches over you
A common memory hook splits 親 into 立 stand, 木 tree and 見 see: a parent stands on a tree to watch for their child. Sound hook: oya is close to oh-ya, the reply you give when a parent calls your name.
