How to write 言
The shapes it is written in
讠 in 46 characters, 言 in 3 characters. They are one radical: a part changes shape to fit where it sits in the character, and the dictionary gives every shape the same meaning.
What it tells you about a character
Of the 49 characters below, 39 are pictophonetic with 言 as the half that carries the meaning — the other half carries the sound. That is the use of knowing a radical: it narrows what a new character is about before you know how to say it.
