piacere-like, pleasure

To better understand how to use "Piacere", consider this:

- When you say "I like this"

"I" is the subject
"This" is the object

- When you say "Mi piace questo"

"Questo" is the subject.
"Mi" is an indirect object pronoun [ Atonic or Weak form ].

The sentence can be changed by using an indirect object pronoun [ Tonic or Strong form ]:

"A me piace questo"

So, as ElenaV. said:

I like = Mi piace
You like = Ti piace
He/She likes = Gli/Le piace
We like = Ci piace
You like [ plural ] = Vi piace
They like = Piace loro (obsolete) / Gli piace

2

If the subject of "Piacere" is plural [ i.e.: "Mi piacciono questi" ], so must be the verb.

I like = Mi piacciono
You like = Ti piacciono
He/She likes = Gli/Le piacciono
We like = Ci piacciono
You like [ plural ] = Vi piacciono
They like = Piacciono loro (obsolete) / Gli piacciono

2

In other words, "Piacere" must be conjugated referring
to what/who you like and not to the one who likes.

The same applies to "Mancare" [ Miss ].

Grazie Sal ho capito but I am not sure about "mancare" What does it mean?

0

"Mancare" means "Miss".

i.e.:

"I miss her" = "(Lei) mi manca"
"You miss her" = "(Lei) ti manca"
...an so on.
