When using the verb "patikti" (to like), the person who likes something is in the dative case. The thing that is liked is in the nominative case. For example, to say "I like coffee," you would say "Man patinka kava." Here, "Man" is the dative form of "aš" (I), and "kava" (coffee) is in the nominative case. If you want to say "He likes dogs," it would be "Jam patinka šunys." "Jam" is the dative form of "jis" (he), and "šunys" (dogs) is in the nominative case. Remember that "patikti" conjugates like other -ėti verbs in the present tense, but the subject of the verb is actually the thing being liked, not the person doing the liking.
When using "patikti", the subject of the English sentence becomes the object in Lithuanian, and the object of the English sentence becomes the subject. For example, instead of saying "I like coffee," you say "Coffee is pleasing to me." The person who likes something is in the dative case (man, tau, jam, jai, mums, jums, jiems, joms), and the thing that is liked is in the nominative case.
Examples:
Man patinka kava. (I like coffee. / Coffee is pleasing to me.)
Jai patinka šokoladas. (She likes chocolate. / Chocolate is pleasing to her.)
Mums patinka skaityti knygas. (We like to read books. / Reading books is pleasing to us.)
Jums nepatinka šaltas oras? (You don't like cold weather? / Is cold weather not pleasing to you?)
When using the verb "patikti" (to like) in Lithuanian, the person who likes something is in the dative case. The thing that is liked is in the nominative case. For example, to say "I like coffee," you would say "Man patinka kava." Here, "Man" is the dative form of "aš" (I), and "kava" (coffee) is in the nominative case. If you want to say "I like books," it would be "Man patinka knygos." Notice that "patinka" remains the same for singular and plural things being liked. If the thing being liked is a verb, you would use the infinitive form. For instance, "Man patinka skaityti" (I like to read).
The verb "patikti" conjugates according to the person and number of the *object* that is liked, not the person who *does* the liking. However, in most common A1/A2 usages, you'll hear the third person singular "patinka" or third person plural "patinka." If you were to say "You like me," it would be "Tu man patinki." Here, "patinki" agrees with "tu" (you), the object of liking. This is a subtle but important distinction as you progress in your Lithuanian studies.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
- DEFINITION
- The Lithuanian verb patikti means 'to like'. It's an essential word for expressing preferences, enjoyment, and general approval in various situations.
When you want to say you 'like' something or someone in Lithuanian, patikti is the verb you'll use. However, it's a bit different from English. In English, we say 'I like chocolate.' In Lithuanian, it's more like 'Chocolate is pleasing to me.' This is a crucial difference to grasp right away.
You'll use patikti when talking about:
- Things you enjoy: food, movies, books, music, activities.
- People you find agreeable or charming.
- Places you find appealing.
- Ideas or concepts you agree with.
The verb patikti is always used with the dative case. Don't worry too much about the grammatical term 'dative case' right now if you're just starting out. What's important is to remember how it works. Instead of saying 'I like...', you'll literally be saying 'To me is pleasing...'.
Man patinka kava. (To me it is pleasing coffee. / I like coffee.)
Notice 'man' instead of 'aš'. 'Aš' means 'I', but 'man' means 'to me'. This is the dative case in action for personal pronouns. Here are the common ones you'll use with patikti:
- Man (to me / I)
- Tau (to you / you - singular, informal)
- Jam (to him / he)
- Jai (to her / she)
- Mums (to us / we)
- Jums (to you / you - plural or singular, formal)
- Jiems (to them / they - masculine or mixed group)
- Joms (to them / they - feminine group)
The form of patikti will change depending on whether the thing you like is singular or plural. Most often, you'll hear and use patinka (singular) or patinka (plural for things you like, often behaves like singular in everyday speech but can also be patinka if the subject is plural). Let's keep it simple for A1: for most things you'll say you like, use patinka.
Jai patinka šunys. (To her it is pleasing dogs. / She likes dogs.)
Jums patinka Lietuva? (To you is pleasing Lithuania? / Do you like Lithuania?)
This verb is very common in daily conversations. You'll use it to answer questions about your preferences, to offer compliments, or simply to express your feelings about things around you. It's one of those verbs that will instantly make your Lithuanian sound more natural once you get the hang of its special structure.
Think of it this way: the 'thing' or 'person' that is liked is the subject of the sentence, and it's doing the 'pleasing'. The person who 'likes' is the indirect object, the one to whom the pleasing is happening. It's a mental shift, but once you make it, patikti becomes much easier to use.
Ar tau patinka mano naujas automobilis? (Is to you pleasing my new car? / Do you like my new car?)
Taip, man labai patinka! (Yes, to me very pleasing! / Yes, I like it very much!)
Mastering patikti is a big step towards natural-sounding Lithuanian. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; the more you practice, the more intuitive it will become.
§ Understanding 'Patikti' (To Like)
- Lithuanian Word
- patikti (verb)
- CEFR Level
- A1
- Definition
- To like, to be pleasing to
Alright, let's talk about 'patikti'. This is one of the first verbs you'll want to learn because it's super useful for expressing your preferences. It means 'to like' or 'to be pleasing to' someone. The key thing to remember about 'patikti' is that it works a bit differently from 'to like' in English. In Lithuanian, the thing you like is the subject of the sentence, and the person who likes it is in the dative case (to whom is it pleasing?).
§ Basic Usage with Examples
Let's look at how this works in practice. Don't worry if the grammar terms sound intimidating; the examples will make it clear.
Man patinka kava. (Coffee is pleasing to me / I like coffee.)
Tau patinka knygos? (Are books pleasing to you? / Do you like books?)
Jam patinka Vilnius. (Vilnius is pleasing to him / He likes Vilnius.)
§ Plural Subjects with 'Patikti'
When the thing you like is plural, the verb 'patikti' changes to its plural form: 'patinka' (still) or 'patiko' (past plural). Let's stick with the present tense for now.
Mums patinka filmai. (Movies are pleasing to us / We like movies.)
Jums patinka saldainiai? (Are candies pleasing to you? / Do you like candies?)
The form of 'patikti' will also change depending on the tense. For example, in the past tense, you'd use 'patiko' (was pleasing/liked) and in the future, 'patiks' (will be pleasing/will like).
- Past: Man patiko koncertas. (The concert was pleasing to me / I liked the concert.)
- Future: Tikiuosi, kad tau patiks dovana. (I hope the gift will be pleasing to you / I hope you will like the gift.)
§ Similar Words and When to Use 'Patikti' vs. Alternatives
While 'patikti' is your go-to for expressing general liking, there are other ways to convey similar sentiments, and understanding the nuances is important. It's not about strict synonyms, but about different shades of meaning or situations.
1. 'Mėgti' (to be fond of, to enjoy)
'Mėgti' is another verb that means 'to like', and it's often more directly translated as 'to be fond of' or 'to enjoy'. The main difference from 'patikti' is its grammatical construction. With 'mėgti', the person doing the liking is the subject, and the thing being liked is in the accusative case (the direct object).
Aš mėgstu kavas. (I like/enjoy coffees.)
Mes mėgstame skaityti knygas. (We like/enjoy reading books.)
2. 'Mylėti' (to love)
This one is pretty straightforward. 'Mylėti' means 'to love'. It's much stronger than 'patikti' or 'mėgti' and is reserved for people, deep affections, or very strong passions. Just like 'mėgti', the person doing the loving is the subject, and the object of love is in the accusative.
Aš myliu tave. (I love you.)
Jie myli savo šalį. (They love their country.)
3. 'Būti geras' (to be good / to be suitable)
Sometimes, instead of saying you 'like' something, you might want to say it's 'good' or 'suitable'. This uses the verb 'būti' (to be) with an adjective like 'geras' (good).
Šitas filmas yra geras. (This film is good.)
Man tinka ši kaina. (This price suits me / is good for me.)
§ Key Takeaways for 'Patikti'
Here's the practical summary for 'patikti':
- Use 'patikti' when something is generally pleasing to you.
- Remember the dative case for the person who likes something (man, tau, jam, jai, mums, jums, jiems, joms).
- The verb form of 'patikti' agrees with the *thing* being liked, not the person.
- For a more active or habitual enjoyment, consider 'mėgti'.
- Save 'mylėti' for love, not just liking.
Mastering 'patikti' is a great step in expressing yourself more naturally in Lithuanian. Keep practicing these examples, and you'll get the hang of it in no time!

سوالات متداول
10 سوالTo say 'I like' in Lithuanian, you'll use the verb patikti. It works a little differently than in English. You'll say 'Man patinka...' which literally means 'To me is pleasing...'. So, to say 'I like apples,' you'd say 'Man patinka obuoliai.'
Yes, it does! The form of patikti changes depending on whether the thing being liked is singular or plural. If you like one thing, you use patinka. If you like multiple things, you still use patinka. However, if you want to say 'He likes' or 'She likes', you still use patinka, but you change the pronoun before it. For example, 'Jam patinka obuoliai' (He likes apples) or 'Jai patinka obuoliai' (She likes apples).
That's a great question! Both patikti and mėgti can mean 'to like.' However, patikti is more about something being pleasing or agreeable to you, often for a specific thing or situation. Mėgti is more about a general preference or enjoyment. Think of it like this: you'd use patikti for 'I like this cake' (Man patinka šis pyragas) and mėgti for 'I like to read' (Aš mėgstu skaityti).
Yes, you absolutely can! If you want to say you like a person, you can use patikti. For example, 'Man patinka Jonas' means 'I like Jonas.' It implies you find Jonas a pleasant person to be around.
To form a question with patikti, you typically just add a question mark to the end of the statement or use a question word. For example, 'Ar tau patinka kava?' (Do you like coffee?) or 'Kas tau patinka?' (What do you like?)
To say 'I don't like' in Lithuanian, you add ne before patinka. So, 'Man nepatinka...' means 'I don't like...' For example, 'Man nepatinka šaltas oras' (I don't like cold weather).
Yes, there are! A very common phrase is 'Man viskas patinka', which means 'Everything is pleasing to me' or 'I like everything.' Another one is 'Ar tau patiko?' (Did you like it?).
Yes, like most verbs, patikti has different tenses. In the present tense, you use patinka. In the past tense, it's patiko. For example, 'Man patiko vakarėlis' (I liked the party).
Yes, this is a key point to remember! Patikti is always used with the dative case. That's why you say man (to me), tau (to you), jam (to him), jai (to her), and so on. It's because the 'liking' is happening to you or to the person.
You can, but it's more common to use mėgti for activities. For example, 'Man patinka skaityti knygas' (I like reading books) is grammatically correct, but 'Aš mėgstu skaityti knygas' is more natural for expressing a general hobby or enjoyment of an activity. However, if you are talking about a specific instance of an activity, patikti can work, e.g., 'Man patiko vakar skaityti tą knygą' (I liked reading that book yesterday).

Aš labai ___ naujas knygas.
The verb 'patikti' means 'to like'. In Lithuanian, when talking about liking something, the subject of the sentence (the thing being liked) takes the nominative case, and the person who likes it takes the dative case. However, for 'aš' (I), the verb form is 'patinka' when talking about things that are liked. The literal translation is closer to 'new books are pleasing to me'.
Jam ___ eiti į kiną su draugais.
Here, 'eiti į kiną su draugais' (going to the cinema with friends) is the subject that is liked, and 'jam' (to him) is the dative case for the person who likes it. So, 'patinka' is the correct form.
Mums ___ ilgos kelionės.
Similar to the previous examples, 'ilgos kelionės' (long journeys) is the subject that is liked, and 'mums' (to us) is in the dative case. The verb 'patinka' remains constant in these constructions.
Sakymas 'Aš patinku tau' reiškia 'Aš tau patinku'. (Saying 'Aš patinku tau' means 'I like you').
In Lithuanian, the person who likes is in the dative case, and the thing or person liked is in the nominative case. So 'aš' (I) is the one liked, and 'tau' (to you) is the one who likes. Therefore, 'Aš tau patinku' means 'You like me', and 'Aš patinku tau' also means 'You like me'. The original statement is accurate in its equivalence.
Jei pasakytumėte 'Man patinka gerti kavą', tai reikštų, kad mėgstate gerti kavą. (If you say 'Man patinka gerti kavą', it means you like to drink coffee).
'Man patinka gerti kavą' literally translates to 'To me, drinking coffee is pleasing', which effectively means 'I like to drink coffee'. This is the correct way to express liking an activity in Lithuanian.
Kai sakote 'Ar tau patinka šis miestas?', klausiate, ar tu myli šį miestą. (When you say 'Ar tau patinka šis miestas?', you are asking if you love this city).
'Patinka' means 'to like', not 'to love'. While liking can be a component of loving, these two verbs have distinct meanings. 'Mylėti' would be the verb for 'to love'.

Listen for what the speaker does not like.

In Lithuanian, the person who likes something is in the dative case (Man - to me), followed by 'patinka' (likes) and then the thing that is liked in the nominative case.
To form a question, the sentence structure often remains similar to a statement, with intonation indicating the question. 'Ne' is used to negate 'patinka'.
'Patiko' is the past tense of 'patinka'. The dative case ('Mums' - to us) is used for the person who liked something.
Man labai ___ eiti į gamtą, ypač kai šviečia saulė.
The sentence expresses a current, ongoing liking for going into nature, thus the present tense 'patinka' (like) is appropriate.
Ar tau ___ nauja kaimyno mašina? Man atrodo, ji per daug ryški.
The question asks if the new car is currently liked, making 'patinka' (like) the correct choice. The second part of the sentence 'Man atrodo, ji per daug ryški' (I think it's too bright) suggests a current opinion.
Vakar filmas, kurį žiūrėjome, man visiškai ___, buvau nusivylęs siužetu.
The sentence states 'Vakar' (Yesterday), indicating a past event, and 'buvau nusivylęs siužetu' (I was disappointed with the plot) implies a negative past feeling. Therefore, 'nepatiko' (did not like) is correct.
Jeigu oras bus geras, man ___ eiti pasivaikščioti prie ežero.
The phrase 'Jeigu oras bus geras' (If the weather is good) indicates a future condition, so the future tense 'patiks' (will like) is the correct form.
Ji sakė, kad jai niekada ___ klausytis klasikinės muzikos.
The phrase 'niekada' (never) combined with 'sakė' (said - past tense) suggests a past and ongoing dislike. However, the most direct past tense for 'never liked' is 'nepatiko'.
Ar tau ___ šis naujas receptas? Man atrodo, jis puikiai tinka vakarienei.
The question asks about a current opinion ('Man atrodo, jis puikiai tinka vakarienei' - I think it's perfect for dinner), so the present tense 'patinka' (like) is appropriate.

This sentence structure (Dative + 'patinka' + infinitive) is common to express liking something in Lithuanian. 'Man' (to me) is dative, 'patinka' (likes) is the verb, and 'skaityti knygas' (to read books) is the activity.
This is a question asking if someone dislikes something. 'Jums' (to you plural/formal) is dative, 'ar nepatinka' (do you not like) is the negative interrogative form, and 'keliauti į šiltus kraštus' (to travel to warm countries) is the activity.
Here, 'Vaikams' (to children) is dative, 'ypač' (especially) is an adverb, 'patinka' (like) is the verb, and 'žaidimai lauke' (games outside) is the thing being liked.
Man labai ___ naujas filmas, kurį vakar žiūrėjome. (I really like the new movie we watched yesterday.)
The sentence describes a past event ('vakar žiūrėjome' - 'we watched yesterday'), so the past tense 'patiko' (liked) is appropriate.
Ar tau ___ keliauti po kalnus? (Do you like traveling in the mountains?)
This question asks about a general preference or current liking, which requires the present tense 'patinka' (like).
Aš tikiuosi, kad tau ___ mano siurprizas. (I hope you will like my surprise.)
The phrase 'tikiuosi, kad' (I hope that) indicates a future event, so the future tense 'patiks' (will like) is needed.
Vaikystėje man labiausiai ___ skaityti pasakas. (In childhood, I liked reading fairy tales the most.)
The phrase 'Vaikystėje' (In childhood) and 'labiausiai' (the most) imply a habitual action in the past, making the imperfective past tense 'patikdavo' (used to like) the correct choice.
Jei tau ___ ši knyga, būtinai rekomenduok ją kitiems. (If you like this book, be sure to recommend it to others.)
The conditional clause 'Jei tau patiks' (If you will like) suggests a future possibility, hence the future tense 'patiks' is appropriate here.
Nors ji niekada to nepripažino, jai visada ___ jo kompanija. (Although she never admitted it, she always liked his company.)
'Visada' (always) in combination with a past context ('niekada to nepripažino' - 'never admitted it') indicates a continuous or habitual liking in the past, thus 'patikdavo' is correct.
The speaker is asking about musical preferences.
The speaker is expressing hope that the listener will enjoy a walk.
The speaker is sharing their personal opinion about a film despite mixed reviews.

This sentence structure is common when expressing liking for an abstract concept or proposal. 'Man patinka' means 'I like', followed by the subject 'ši nauja idėja' (this new idea) and then the purpose 'dėl projekto vystymo' (for project development).
This is a question asking for an opinion on a person and their style. 'Kaip jums patinka?' means 'How do you like?', followed by the subject 'šiandieninis oratorius' (today's speaker) and 'jo pristatymo stilius' (his presentation style), connected by 'ir' (and).
This complex sentence uses 'nors' (although) to introduce a contrasting idea. 'Jiems nepatis' means 'they won't like it' (future tense of 'patikti' in negation), referring to 'šis sprendimas' (this decision). The second clause 'jie vis tiek jį įgyvendins' means 'they will still implement it'.
Jo naujas romanas man visai ne___. (His new novel didn't appeal to me at all.)
The past tense 'patiko' is needed to match 'didn't appeal'.
Nors filmas kritikų buvo nuvertintas, man jis išties ___. (Although the film was underrated by critics, I truly liked it.)
The context implies a past action, so 'patiko' (past tense) is the correct form.

The modal verb 'gali' (can/might) requires the infinitive form 'patikti'.
Jai labiausiai ___ tylūs, mąslūs žmonės, o ne triukšmingi vakarėliai. (She mostly likes quiet, thoughtful people, not loud parties.)
The sentence describes a general preference, so the present tense 'patinka' is appropriate.
Jei tikrai ___ šis darbas, tu jam atiduosi visą save. (If you truly like this work, you will give it your all.)
The conditional 'Jei' (If) followed by a future consequence requires the future tense 'patiks'.
Ką darytume, kad jam šis planas ___ labiau? (What should we do so that he would like this plan more?)
The subjunctive mood 'patiktų' is used here to express a desire or a hypothetical situation.
