Expressing positive preference.
Contexto cultural
Poles are often perceived as direct. Saying 'Bardzo lubię to' is a strong, honest compliment. If a Pole doesn't like something, they might just say 'Jest okej' (It's okay), which often means they don't like it at all! The 'Lubię to!' button has become a cultural icon in Poland, leading to the use of the word 'lajk' (from English 'like') as a synonym for 'lubię to'. When eating at a Polish home, saying 'Bardzo lubię to danie' is the best way to ensure the host offers you a second (and third) helping. In Polish business culture, 'Bardzo lubię ten pomysł' is a common way to show support for a colleague's proposal without committing to a formal contract yet.
Drop the 'Ja'
Don't say 'Ja bardzo lubię to'. It sounds like a robot. Just say 'Bardzo lubię to'.
The 'To' Trap
If you mention a specific noun, replace 'to' with that noun in the Accusative case. Don't say 'Bardzo lubię to kawa'.
