In Italian you don't "like" something: something is pleasing to you. The thing you like is the subject, so the verb agrees with it. The person who likes it is an indirect object: mi, ti, gli, le, ci, vi, or a + a noun or stressed pronoun (a me, a te, a noi…). - One thing or an infinitive takes piace: Mi piace la pizza (I like pizza), Mi piace ballare (I like dancing). Two infinitives still take piace. - Plural things take piacciono: Mi piacciono i gatti (I like cats). - A + person replaces the pronoun: A Marco piace il calcio, ai bambini piacciono i dolci, a te piace? - Non goes before the pronoun, or straight before the verb when there is none: Non mi piace (I don't like it), A Marco non piace. - For people: tu mi piaci (I like you), io ti piaccio (you like me).
