Story

The kanji 慣 is made from 忄(heart, feelings) and 貫(to go through, to pierce). The left side, 忄, shows emotions or the heart, while the right side, 貫, means to continue or go through something completely. Together, they show a heart that has gone through something many times — a person who has experienced something so often that it feels normal. That’s why 慣 means “to get used to” or “to become familiar with.”

Short Story

Made from 忄(heart) and 貫(to go through). It shows a heart that has experienced something many times — meaning to get used to it.

Mnemonic

This kanji says: when the heart (忄) goes through (貫) the same thing again and again, it gets used to it — 慣 means to become familiar or accustomed.
