「好き」の情報

好(す)き, meaning 'to like', is one of the very common な-Adjectives in Japanese that is used in many different expressions. All な-Adjectives behave similarly to verbs, in that their form changes depending on what comes after them.

For 好(す)き, it will be followed by な when acting as an adjective, or one of either だ or the more polite です when acting as a noun. This distinction is made depending on whether it is linked to another noun, or is independent.

In the example with だ, 好(す)き is expressing that the thing is 'likable' (assertion). However, in the example with な, 好(す)き is expressing 'likability' as a quality of the noun it is attached to.

Caution

好(す)き is considered quite a strong adjective in Japanese when it is directed towards people, so it may be interpreted as romantic interest. 大(だい)好(す)き is often translated as 'love'.

I had some confusion about 好きand thought i’d share.

好き is a na-adjective meaning it needs that な to link it to another noun and all the other rules about na-adjectives.

However to soften casual speech the “だ” can often be left implied.
好きだ
好きです
and
好き (だ)
are all appropriate endings to a sentence.

By the way:

好きです polite language

好き (no だ) sounds more feminine

好きだ sounds more masculine

好きな is noun modifying form
好きだ(です) is predicative (basically adjective acting as predicate)

Am I understanding this correctly?

Suki Na Hito - Any person that I like, but with caution that it may sound romantic
Suki No Hito - My favorite person (literally ,of all the Hitos, this 1 Hito is my favorite)

The nuance is lost on me as a non polygamic person. I guess I’ll reserve Suki No Hito when talking about the Pope and Obama, and even then, they’ll have to battle for me

Why is it うん、好きだ if the structure presented is noun + が + 好き, why is there no が in the practice sentence?

Welcome to the community

It’s like saying
“Do you like apples?” りんごが好きですか
“Yeah I like apples.” うん、りんごが好きです

Vs

“Do you like apples?” りんごが好きですか
“Yeah I like em” うん、好きです

You’re just omitting what it is you like, so the nounが isn’t used in that response.

I thought 好きな was to mean favourite

But then I got this today in my reviews

好きなスポーツは何ですか

Which I took to mean what is your favourite sport.

But apparently it means what sports do you like?

Which have quite a different meaning.

How would you differentiate between a favourite thing Vs things that you like?

Munroe:

Which have quite a different meaning.

Not really, the meaning stays pretty much the same. Things you like and things you favor is the same.

The difference here is you don’t know if “sports” is plural or singular. So it could be “what’s your favorite sport” or “what sports are your favorite” ie which do you like/favor. You can ask for the single most favorite by throwing in an 一番

一番好きなスポーツは何ですか “what is your number one favorite/ most liked sport”
