Say what you like
Use this to say you like something.
JLPTN5
[noun] が 好きです~ ga suki desu
someone likes [something]
Example Sentences
I love beans
I like green
The thing you like is marked with が, not を, even though English treats it like a normal object. 好き is a な-adjective, so it takes です in polite speech. This が-not-を pattern is the same one used for being good at something and for wanting a thing.
