[Doutas]

There are also some funny kanji that are made from other kanji and thanks to that they are really easy to remember. For example:

男　- this one is read 'otoko' and means male. It's compounded from 田 ('ta' - rice field) and　力 ('chikara' - power, energy) so the main work power on a rice field is a man.　

休 - this one is compounded from 人 (hito - person, slightly modified to adjust the dynamics of the kanji) and　木 (ki - tree). If you were tired and spot a tree on an incredibly hot and humid Japanese summer day, you would definitely want to take a small nap in its nice shadow. And that's exactly what this kanji means. Yasumu - to take a rest, to relax....

好 - its parts are 女(onna - woman) and　子 (ko - child) and it is read 'suki' - to like smt. or smb.
