🌹Different ways to say “I like”
Sometimes we need to talk about how we like something, but we don’t just want to keep saying “I like it,” “I like it,” “I like it.”
And what about when there’s something you really like? It gets a bit boring to say “I really, really like it” all the time.
🌹I’m really into …
This is a little informal. It also shows dedication.
So you can say:
“I’m really into 1970s Japanese underground noise music.”
… because that takes a lot of dedication.
✍But it’s a little strange to say something like “I’m really into this vegetable curry. It’s delicious.”
🌹You can also be into an action:
“He’s weird. Recently he’s been into hiding behind doors and jumping out at people to surprise them.”
We're really into Star Wars.
🌹I’m a big fan of …
Like “I’m into,” use this one to talk about something you’ve liked for a period of time. It can range from something big, like Star Wars, to something more everyday, like using a shaving brush to clean your laptop.
🌹You can be a big fan of a person or thing:
“I’m a big fan of David Crystal.”
Or an action:
“Toby? Yeah … he’s OK. He’s a big fan of skateboarding. Is that a good thing?”
🌹I’m fond of …
This means “I like” but with a little extra emotion.
Does something have a special place in your heart? Then this is the phrase to use!
🌹We’re often fond of people:
“Cool! Toby’s coming! I’m quite fond of him!”
🌹But we can be fond of things, too:
“I didn’t like it at first, but I’m fond of hot yoga now.”
🌹And we can be fond of actions:
“He’s quite fond of waking up early and meditating for an hour.”
✍Notice that we often use “quite” with this phrase — at least I do.
🌹I’m big on …
Similar to “I’m into” and “I’m a fan of”: use it for something you’ve got experience with.
🌹You can be big on a thing:
“Japanese underground noise music? Oh yeah — I’m big on that.”
🌹Or an action:
“As a company, they’re really big on putting small family shops out of business.”
