Czech[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Old Czech ľúbiti, from Proto-Slavic *ľubiti, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *ljaubī́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *lowbʰéyeti, from *lewbʰ-.
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
líbit impf (perfective zalíbit)
- (reflexive with se) to please [+dative someone] (idiomatically translated by English like with subject and object reversed)
Usage notes[edit]
- The person doing the liking is in the dative case, while the person/thing that is liked is in the nominative case. A comparable construction in English would be "It is pleasing to me" or "It appeals to me".
- Kočky se mi líbí. ― I like cats. (literally, “Cats are pleasing to me.”)
