3.3 Настоя́щая речь – Do you like pizza?

Настоя́щая речь

Вы лю́бите пи́ццу?

Recall talking about what you like to do and your hobbies.

Что вы лю́бите? – ‘What do you love / like?’

What can you say about yourself?

About myself, I can say the following.

	Я люблю́ йогу.
	Я люблю́ шокола́д!
	Я люблю́ ко́фе!

NOTE: I HAVE to use the Accusative Case here to talk about WHAT I love, which is literally the object of my affection.

What if what you like (or love) isn’t a verb at all but a thing (noun), like chocolate or maybe a verb + a thing, like watching TV or listening to music? Now that you have the Accusative Case, you can do this!

Что вы лю́бите делать? – What do you like to do? What do you like doing?

	Я люблю́ чита́ть кни́ги.
	Я люблю́ слу́шать му́зыку. Why is ‘музыка’ in the Accusative Case? Although it’s not the object of ‘любить’, it IS the object of ‘слушать’.
	Я люблю́ игра́ть в ка́рты.
	Я люблю́ смотре́ть интере́сные фи́льмы.
