How to remember 饋
On the left is 飠, the food side, and on the right is 貴 (guì), meaning expensive. Giving someone expensive food is a generous gift, and 貴 also hints at the sound kuì.
饋 (kuì) is a bound form, so it appears inside words rather than alone. It means to present a gift or to send something back, as in 反饋 (fǎnkuì, feedback) and 回饋 (huíkuì, to give back). Example: 謝謝你的反饋。(Xièxie nǐ de fǎnkuì.) Thank you for your feedback.
Common mistake: Learners often read 饋 as guì because of the 貴 component, but the correct pronunciation is kuì with a fourth tone. Do not confuse it with 匱 (kuì, lacking), which sounds the same but has a box-shaped enclosure instead of the food side.
