Grammar 语法
Expressing likes: 喜欢 + verb/noun
。/ 。
喜欢 (xǐhuan) = to like. Follow with a verb or noun. 爱 (ài) = to love (stronger). 我爱唱歌 = I love singing. No extra particle needed between 喜欢 and the verb.
Mild negation: 不太 + adj/verb
。
不太 (bú tài) = not very / not really. Softer than 不. 不太好 = not very good. 不太喜欢 = don't really like. Much more natural than a blunt 不喜欢 in conversation.
也 and 都 with multiple subjects
，。/ 。
也 (yě) = also (for one additional subject). 都 (dōu) = all/both (for multiple subjects together). 也 and 都 always come BEFORE the verb.
