How to remember 豌
豌 is a pea: on the left is 豆 (dòu), meaning beans, which gives the meaning. On the right is 宛 (wǎn), which gives the sound wān.
豌 almost never appears alone. It is used in the word 豌豆 (wāndòu), meaning pea. Example: 我喜欢吃豌豆。(Wǒ xǐhuan chī wāndòu.) I like eating peas.
Common mistake: Learners often write 碗 (wǎn, bowl) instead of 豌, because both have 宛 on the right. Remember that peas are beans, so 豌 takes 豆 on the left, while a bowl takes 石. Also note the tone. 豌 is first tone wān, not third tone like 碗 and 宛.
