The Verb "Αρέσω = Like"

The possessive pronouns are: μου, σου, του, της, του, μας, σας, τους.
The third person in singular is :αρέσει, άρεσε.
The third person in plural is :αρέσουν, άρεσαν.

When you refer to one person, place or thing you use the third singular person. When you refer to many persons, places or things you use the third plural person.

  Now that you know everything about it, let's look at some examples.

• Ι like ice-cream = Μου αρέσει το παγωτό
• she likes ice-cream = της αρέσει το παγωτό
• they like ice-cream = τους αρέσει το παγωτό
• I like cookies = Μου αρέσουν τα μπισκότα
• he likes cookies = του αρέσουν τα μπισκότα
• we like cookies = μας αρέσουν τα μπισκότα
• they did not like the food = δεν τους άρεσε το φαγητό
• he liked the shoes = του άρεσαν τα παπούτσια
• I Like him = Μου αρέσει αυτός
• I Like her = Μου αρέσει αυτή

   The above examples only apply when you talk about a place, thing or a person with somebody else. When you talk about a person or persons about themselves or yourself, then you use the verb normally. Examples:

• Ι like you = Μου αρέσεις
• You like me = Σου αρέσω
• she likes me = της αρέσω
• they like me = τους αρέσω

   In the above examples the "μου, σου, της, τους" are the second (weak) type of the personal pronouns.
   The "you, me" are skipped, because in the Greek language the endings of the verbs show the person that the action refers to.
