How to remember 她
她 is made of 女 (nǚ, woman) on the left and 也 (yě) on the right. Picture a woman 女 standing beside you 也, and that person is "she."
她 (tā) is the everyday word for "she" and "her," and it works as both subject and object without changing form. Add 们 to make 她们 (tāmen) for a group of females. Example: 她是我的老师。(Tā shì wǒ de lǎoshī.) She is my teacher.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 她 with 他 (tā, he) because they sound exactly the same. In writing, use the 女 side only for a woman, and use 他 for a man or when the gender is unknown.
