21 Jan - 嘲諷 - P: ㄔㄠˊ ㄈㄥˋ - Taunt

Word: 嘲諷 - To sneer at/to taunt
Pronounced: ㄔㄠˊㄈㄥˋ || Cháofèng

Building Blocks;
Today's words is built from two words that are similar in meaning:

Word 1: 嘲 (P: ㄔㄠˊ || Cháo) - To ridicule, to sneer, to mock, to deride.

Pretty powerful word but made out of two characters: mouth 口 and dynasty 朝. I love the logic of this word. A mouth 口 ridicules/mocks the dynasty 朝.

Word 2: 諷 (P: ㄈㄥˋ || Fèng) - to satirize, to mock, to ridicule

This word is also made out of two characters: speech 言 and wind 風. More logic here which implies speech 言 with the wind 風 is to ridicule and mock someone.
