Literal Translation
Word for word: “That pleases me”

/das ɡəˈfɛlt miːɐ̯/
When to Use This Phrase
The thing you like is the subject, so the verb changes for plurals: 'Die Bilder gefallen mir' (I like the pictures). Use 'gefallen' for things you see or experience, such as clothes, places or a film, and 'schmecken' for food.
Example Sentences
Das Kleid gefällt mir, aber es ist zu teuer.
I like the dress, but it's too expensive.
Wie gefällt dir Berlin? — Es gefällt mir sehr gut!
How do you like Berlin? — I like it a lot!
