뜻
An expression of general fondness or liking.
문화적 배경
Germans value 'Ehrlichkeit' (honesty). Saying 'Ich mag dich' is a sincere compliment and is not usually said just to be polite. The phrase 'I mog di' is a cultural icon, often found on gingerbread hearts ({der|m} Lebkuchenherz) at fairs. In the 'dating' phase, 'Ich mag dich' is the standard way to signal that you want to keep seeing the person without committing to a relationship yet.
The Friendzone Shield
If someone says 'Ich liebe dich' and you don't feel the same, 'Ich mag dich auch, aber...' is the standard polite way to start the 'friend' talk.
Case Matters
Never say 'Ich mag du'. It marks you immediately as a beginner. Always use 'dich'.
