Learn Japanese – The Complete Video Series (presented by becauseofdreams)

「Learn Japanese」 How-to say “I like/love/hate Y” with X はY が(好き/嫌い)です

「Learn Japanese」X はYが(好き/嫌い)です as “X (likes/hates) Y”

This construct derives from the TOPIC は SUBJECT が DESCRIPTOR form in that it is slightly altered to convey TOPIC は OBJECT が DESCRIPTOR.

Example(s):

ジョージ·ワシントンは犬 が好きです。
Jouji Washington wa inu ga suki desu. (George Washington likes dogs.)

ジョージ·ワシントンは犬 が大好きです。
Jouji Washington wa inu ga daisuki desu. (George Washington loves dogs.)

*An interpretation of the first example that provides for a more vivid interpretation of the construct semantically is, “In regard to George Washington (for George Washington), dogs are liked.”

ジョージ·ワシントンは辛い食べ物が嫌いです。
Jouji Washington wa karai tabemono ga kirai desu. (George Washington hates spicy food.)

ジョージ·ワシントンは辛い食べ物が大嫌いです。
Jouji Washington wa karai tabemono ga daikirai desu. (George Washington really hates spicy food.)
