To stab Kanji: 突 stab + く Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means stab so the verb vocab version must also be to stab. Wondering how it’s different from 刺す? 突く refers to the act of pushing or pressing something with a tip of an object, often done forcefully and swiftly. So when you use 突く as in “to stab,” your focus is on the forcefulness of the action. On the other hand, 刺す focuses more on the actual act of piercing into something or someone with a sharp thing. This is why 突く can be be translated many ways, like to poke, to jab, and many more. Reading: つく If you're going to get stabbed, don't get stabbed two (つ) times. You can remember that this is the "two time stab" stab because it has a hole that's big. The hole is big because you got stabbed twice.

To touch something Kanji: 触 touch + る Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb.

Using に simply marks the location you touch, while using を highlights your action of touching that specific area or object. So the former is intransitive and the latter is transitive, though there's some debate about that.

You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you: You're an idiot. You try to touch a saw (さわ).
