The Japanese expression 好き嫌い (suki kirai) is made up of two kanji: 好き (suki), which means "to like" or "to prefer", and 嫌い (kirai), which means "to dislike" or "to detest". The word 好き (suki) comes from the verb 好く (suku), which has its roots in the kanji 好, meaning "to like" or "love", associated with the idea of preference or affection. 嫌い (kirai) derives from the verb 嫌う (kirau), whose kanji 嫌 has the meaning of "hate" or "dislike".
