About
As a phono-semantic compound, 讥 combines the semantic speech radical 讠 on the left, indicating a verbal action, with the phonetic component 几 on the right, which provides its sound. Its traditional form 譏 follows the same structure, pairing the unsimplified speech radical 言 with the complex phonetic element 幾. The character's core meaning centers on ridicule, mockery, or satire, representing a form of critical or sarcastic verbal expression where words are used to deride, disparage, or pointedly highlight flaws.
