湖
hú
lake
water (氵) + sound hú (胡) = lake
胡 lends the sound hú; the water radical anchors the meaning squarely in the physical world of water. A lake is essentially a large, still body of water — the simplest image the water radical can evoke.
这个湖的水很清。
zhè ge hú de shuǐ hěn qīng。
The water of this lake is very clear.
他们在湖边散步，看着水里的鱼。
tā men zài hú biān sàn bù，kàn zhe shuǐ lǐ de yú。
They walked along the lake shore, watching the fish in the water.
