阴
yīn
variant of 陰|阴[yin1]
Hillside (阝) + moon (月) = the shaded, lunar side
The mound radical (阝) signals a hillside or terrain feature, and the moon (月) evokes the shaded, north-facing slope that never catches the sun. Together they capture the classic meaning of yin: shadow, darkness, and the cool hidden side.

外面阴沉沉的，你出门记得带伞。
wài miàn yīn chén chén de，nǐ chū mén jì de dài sǎn。
It is gloomy outside; remember to take an umbrella when you go out.
