鸽子

gēzi - pigeon

A while ago I spent some time learning as many Chinese words for animals, so I've know this word for some time. But it was suitable today because I cooked pigeon for the first time, which was quite exciting. Making it my 字 for today made me realise that the phonetic part of 鸽 is 合, which should help me remember how it's written.

我今天首次做鸽子。
