窗户
chuāng hu
window
CL:個|个[ge4],扇[shan4]
cave hole (穴) + sound chuāng (囱) + door (户) = window
A cave opening (穴) lets in light and air — that is the core of a window; 囱 lends the sound chuāng. 户 originally depicted a single door panel on its hinge, and together the two characters evoke an opening in the wall you pass light and air through.

qǐng bǎ chuāng hu dǎ kāi, fáng jiān lǐ tài rè le。

wài miàn xià yǔ le, nǐ wàng le guān chuāng hu ma?
