Is 好く a verb. I found it read like that but I was wondering... sweatdrop just to be sure.

I know 好きな is an adjective (or Quasi Adjective as my book put it) but still, I'd like to know.

Thank you! biggrin

@Aiko: Could you not use [ ]は[ ]が好きです also?


yes, that's fine, subject は object 好きです which is quite literally "Subject has linking for this object"

I've never seen "好く" used as the verb, like "好きます"
even on Jim Breen, all the example sentances are in the passive form "She is liked by everyone"

Yes you can use that form, but it's used in a "I like-love you " sort of way when the one Aiko is describing is used in a more "I like-like you" sort of way. Dang, did that make ANY sense whatsoever?

好く


This can also be read as "yoku", right? As in 'yoi' or 'ii', which means 'good.

it can be "yoi" or "ii" (I think that character in Chinese means "good") but it's one of those common words that usually is written in kana, and even when writen in kanji you would probably use 良い
