How do you say “I like reading.” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
I like reading.
読書好きなんだ。
dokusho sukinanda
If you want to speak politely, you can say :
読書が好きです。
dokushoga sukidesu
- I like … ＝ わたしは … が好きです watashiwa … ga sukidesu
- reading ＝ 読書 dokusho
We do not usually say “わたしは watashiwa (= I)” in everyday conversation.
読書が
reading

わたしは 好きですI like
