Tips

register
Casual and affectionate — the kind of word you'd use with kids or close friends, not in formal writing. The neutral word for foot is 脚 (jiǎo).
memory
脚 (foot) + 丫 (forked / Y-shape) + 子 (noun suffix). The 丫 evokes the 'Y' between toes, so 脚丫子 is the cute, toe-noticing word for foot.

Stroke Order
