Why does open in Japanese aite sound like hiraite?

In Japanese both of these are spelt as 開いて. It is pronounced as aite and hiraite depending on the situation in which it is used. As far as i know it has something to do with transitive and in-transitive verbs. I encountered this on Rosetta stone and am still confused with when to use it.

Imrpovement:

開いて is 'Te Form' from 開く, which when transitive it reads /hi ra ku/ and when intransitive reads /a ku/. 'Door opened' would be "Tobira WA aita" , where 'She opened the door' would be 'Kanojo WA tobira o hiraita'.

How do you say 'like' in Finnish?

If you mean like, as in "I am strong like a bull." then like is "kuin" in Finnish.

E.g. "Olet tyhmä kuin apina." means you are dumb like a monkey.

If you meant like, as in "I like this cake because it's moist." then like is "pidän" in Finnish.

Verbs in Finnish are tricky though, because a verb conjugates depending on who or what is doing it.

The above example would be "Pidän tästä kakusta koska se on kostea."

Examples:

to like - pitää

I like - pidän

you like - pidät

she/he likes - hän pitää
