基辅 (Jī fǔ) — Kyiv (capital of Ukraine)

Most characters — around four in five — are built this way: one part hints at the meaning, the other at the pronunciation.

The lower 土 means earth, and the upper 其 gives the sound; together they form the idea of a foundation of earth.

This origin belongs to the traditional form 輔; 辅 is its simplified writing.

The traditional form 輔 pairs 車 (cart) with 甫 as a sound part; the simplified 辅 is a later abbreviation.
