Tips

memory
(āi) means 'to suffer / be subjected to' when paired with bad things: 挨打 (áidǎ, get hit), 挨饿 (ái'è, go hungry), 挨骂 (áimà, get scolded). Note the tone shifts to second tone (ái) for this 'suffer' meaning, vs. first tone (āi, 'next to').
mistakes
Don't say (bèimà) for routine scoldings — 挨骂 sounds more natural and colloquial. is fine but more passive/formal in feel.
