• We have learnt the character 水 (water). When the character 水 acts as a radical, it is written as 氵(literally means three drops of water) and is read as 三点水 (sān diǎn shuǐ). (Radical I)
  

  

• We have learnt some the characters that have the radical 口 and are related to mouth (click here). Today, we are going to review other characters that have the radical  氵(三点水) and are related to water:
