助记
Picture someone with a question mark over their head while another person points and speaks (giving advice or making a guess).
Sounds like the English word 'rate' — imagine guessing a price or rating, which helps recall the 'guess' sense.
笔记
Raten has two common senses: 'to guess' and 'to advise'. It typically takes a dative object when meaning 'to advise' (jemandem raten). The verb is irregular: present tense has a stem-vowel change (du rätst, er rät) and the past stem is riet-. The past participle is geraten. Depending on sense, the perfect can use haben (hat geraten) for the transitive/advice sense, but sein is used with the intransitive meaning 'to get into' (z. B. in Schwierigkeiten geraten → ist geraten).
