About
谙 is a phono-semantic compound. Its traditional form, 諳, pairs the speech radical 言 (yán) with the phonetic component 音 (yīn), meaning "sound". The simplified character 谙 retains this structure, using the simplified radical 讠 (yán) with the same phonetic element. Though the components hint at meanings related to reciting or chanting aloud from memory, the character's primary sense is to be deeply familiar with something, to know a subject, skill, or rule thoroughly through extensive experience or study.
