Turn reference into recall

How to study 搭 in context

  1. Say dā, then recall the core meaning: to attach, to build, to join.
  2. Write all 12 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 搭配 (dā pèi), meaning “to pair up”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 搭 works in that context.
