What is your favorite thing?
Let’s learn how to express ” How much you like ” in different levels!
Let’s get started!
Level 1. 好き(すき) / suki / like
映画を観るのが好きです。
(Eiga wo miru noga suki desu)
I like to watch movies.
*映画(えいが) / eiga / movie
観る(みる) / miru / watch
Level 2. 大好き(だいすき) / daisuki / like something/someone a lot
犬と遊ぶのが大好きです。
(Inu to asobu noga daisuki desu)
I like to play with my dog a lot.
*犬(いぬ) / inu / dog
遊ぶ(あそぶ) / asobu / play
Level 3. 愛してる(あいしてる) / aishiteru / love
彼を愛してる。
(Kare wo aishiteru)
I love him.
*彼(かれ) / kare / he
As you can see, there are three ways to say that you love something or someone.
But Level 3, 愛してる is not often used in daily life.
Even if you do love someone, you are more likely to say 大好き.
For Japanese people, the expression “愛してる” is a bit too much.
