Expressing Likes (Mir gefällt)

  • Expressing liking in German uses a structure similar to Spanish's "gustar."

Expressing Dislikes

  • To negate liking something, add "nicht" at the end.
  • "Mir gefällt mein Arbeit nicht" means "I don't like my work."
ADVICE

Liking Other Things

  • Use the same "gefallen" construction for other things you like.
  • "Mir gefällt der Strand" means "I like the beach."
