In a sentence

まめbeansだいすき大好きlove

I love beans

How it works

With feelings like 大好きだいすき (love), Japanese marks the thing you love with (subject), not the object particle — so まめ (beans) is grammatically the subject: "beans are loved (by me)". 大好きだいすき (love) is a describing word, so no verb is needed; the plain form simply trails off, leaving it casual.
