In a sentence

いちばん一番number oneすき好きlike

It's my favorite

How it works

一番いちばん (number one, most) means “the most” when it sits in front of a word — here it intensifies 好きすき (like) into “like the best.” Note 好きすき (like) is treated as an adjective-like word in Japanese, not a verb, and the casual line drops any copula entirely.
