This is a great website but I

This is a great website but I don't understand something, if the first example 'A' is pronounced 'Ah' and this one is 'I' pronounced 'ee'. When you put them both together how does it turn in to meaning 'love'?

Thanks :)

agree with enjibenji89

it's confusing..how does A and I together make love?

Ai = 愛

あい　sounds basically like the english word for "eye", or if that pronunciation doesn't work for you, the "ahyee" part in the word "why".

The "ah" and the "ee" just kind of smooth together to make あい (or　愛).... Then kanji for "love" is pronounced the same as when you write it in Hiragana(あい）　or kanji（愛）.

I hope this made some sense? :) haha I'm not sure I answered exactly what you were asking.
