Tips

culture
拉西 mainly transliterates the dog Lassie from Eric Knight's 1940 novel 'Lassie Come-Home' and the long-running film/TV adaptations. It can also stand for the Indian yogurt drink 'lassi' (more often written 拉西 or 拉昔), so context decides.
memory
Pure sound match: 拉 (lā) = 'la', 西 (xī) = 'see' — La-see → Lassie.

Stroke Order

拉 lā
