So, I'm learning japanese now for a few weeks and I've got a couple questions about this kanji: why is this "child" (shi) kanji used in a word like microwave (denshirenji)? And why are there so many other kanji with parts of it being this exact kanji, but with more stuff on them - does everything relates to child?
"Denshi" means "electron" (or "electronic" when used as a prefix, so denshirenji = electronic oven) because electrons are the "children" of electricity. It's basically the same reason we call them electrons in English, not too complicated.
so far I know 12 kanji, all hiragana and most katakana with a few weeks studying.
