So, /jp/, why is the kanji "好" used to romantic affection

that's just the way it is

>>16067954
All japs are lolicons, obviously.

>>16067954
>好
" 从女，从子。本义：美，貌美。"
Beautiful, just like women or children

The original meaning is probably this definition, and more meanings are slapped on it as time passes.

WHY JAPANESE PEOPLE!?

Hime a shit, Yuuyuu a best.

Kanjis, and by extension all Chinese characters, aren't rebuses but phono-semantic compounds, OP.

>>16068316
好 is not phono-semantic though
好 hao3
女 nü3
子 zi3
all sound quite different

>>16068316
Phono-semantic compounds is just one of the six major ways kanji are formed

轟 3 cars
Meaning： destroy, shoo off or loud noises
Only the last one make sense

>>16070807
Do you think ancient China had cars?

>>16070939
Those stuff 4 people carry, or horse carriages

>>16068370
They make up for almos 80% of all Chinese characters, even more in Japanese kanji

>>16070955
Those stuff 4 people carry are not cars

>>16070939
Ancient China had chariots, which were also called 車 IIRC.

>>16070939
>>16071417
Chariots and wagons were also called cars before automobiles existed.

I don't think this deserves this own thread so I'll just ask here.
I'm just starting to learn japanese.
I know how to pronounce いち but I can't find anywhere confirmation that 一 is pronounced the same way nor a place that'd show me how to pronounce it.
Are Kanjis of the same word in general pronounced the same way as their Hiranaga equivalent?

It depends on how its used as a kanji. Sometimes it's used as jukugo and pronounced just like you said, and other times it's pronounced completely differently with a single word and the same with all the rest. It just depends on the context when you see the kanji.
Also pronunciation is fucked in Japanese because there are soft and strong pronunciations and there's no way to know how its pronounced until you hear it said by a native. I'm sure there might be some phonetic spellings out there but just learn it and have a thick accent until you hear it said by a native then say it like they do.

>Are Kanjis of the same word in general pronounced the same way as their Hiranaga equivalent?
Yes, usually if it appears alone it uses the "hiragana equivalent". If it appears with other kanji then it uses another reading.
Sometimes it'll have more readings but there's usually one that's used more than the other so you can easily predict which should be used even in words you don't know.
Of course irregulars will always be there to fuck shit up so you'll have no choice but to get those memorised

>>16071957
> I can't find anywhere confirmation that 一 is pronounced
Because it's not. Kanji are not pronounced, they are NOT letters of alphabet. Pronounced are words, composed of kanji. Easy way of "learn reading of single characters->add up all characters->get final reading" doesn't work with kanji because kanji are not alphabet, they are lumps of vague meaning arbitrarily stuck together to form words. Don't fool yourself, there are no shortcut of underlying general composition structure you can use to deduct the result from separate parts. Only brute force memorization of everything. Period.
