Mi piace or mi piacciono: how to say I like in Italian

Saying what you like with piacere: mi piace il caffè, mi piacciono i film, ti piace cucinare?

In Italian: Mi piace, mi piacciono

Italian doesn't say I like pizza; it says pizza is pleasing to me: mi piace la pizza. The thing you like is the subject, so the verb agrees with it, not with you.

One thing or an activity takes piace: mi piace il mare, mi piace leggere. More than one thing takes piacciono: mi piacciono i gatti.

The person who likes is a small pronoun in front: mi, ti, gli (to him), le (to her), ci, vi, gli (to them). With a name, use a: a Marco piace il calcio. The negative goes before the pronoun: non mi piace.

Mi ___ la pizza.
