Lesson 14 of 40 · win the Taste Tester badge

Mi piace la pizza! — piacere

Saying what you like

Giant pizza, heart-shaped topping, one very sad broccoli in the corner. Time to say what you love.

🎯 By the end you can…

  • Say what you like and don't like
  • Agree and disagree
  • Ask about someone's tastes

🎬 Listen to the scene

Tap a line to hear it, then say it back louder than Luna barks.

  • Do you like football?

  • No, I don't like it. I like films.

  • Me too!

🔑 piace / piacciono

  • mi piace + one thing or a verb: Mi piace il gelato. Mi piace cantare.
  • mi piacciono + plural: Mi piacciono i cani.
  • ti piace? (you) · gli / le piace (him / her) · ci piace (us)

Adam's tip: Literally «it is pleasing to me» — the thing liked is the subject, so it decides the ending.

🧩 Reacting

  • Anche a me. · A me no. · Neanche a me. · Davvero?

🤯 Wow fact

«Mi piace» really means «it is pleasing to me» — so the thing you like is the boss of the sentence.

🗣️ Say it fast, say it silly

Mi piace la pizza, mi piacciono le pizze!

Three times in a row without tripping = you win.
