Used chiefly in oral narration: And he's like, "Leave me alone!" [Middle English, from like, similar (from Old English gel c and Old Norse lkr) and from like, similarly (from Old English gelce, from gelc, similar); see lk- in Indo-European roots.]Usage Note: Writers since Chaucer's time have used like as a conjunction, but 19th-century and 20th-century critics have been so vehement in their condemnations of this usage that a writer who uses the construction in formal style risks being accused of illiteracy or worse. Prudence requires The dogs howled as (not like) we expected them to. Like is more acceptably used as a conjunction in informal style with verbs such as feel, look, seem, sound, and taste, as in It looks like we are in for a rough winter. But here too as if is to be preferred in formal writing. There can be no objection to the use of like as a conjunction when the following verb is not expressed, as in He took to politics like a duck to water. See Usage Notes at as1, together. Our Living Language Along with be all and go, the construction combining be and like has become a common way of introducing quotations in informal conversation, especially among younger people: "So I'm like, 'Let's get out of here!'" As with go, this use of like can also announce a brief imitation of another person's behavior, often elaborated with facial expressions and gestures. It can also summarize a past attitude or reaction (instead of presenting direct speech). If a woman says "I'm like, 'Get lost buddy!'" she may or may not have used those actual words to tell the offending man off. In fact, she may not have said anything to him but instead may be summarizing her attitude at the time by stating what she might have said, had she chosen to speak. See Notes at all, go1. |
| like 3 (lk) also liked (lkt) aux.v. Chiefly Southern U.S. Used with a past infinitive or with to and a simple past form to indicate being just on the point of or coming near to having done something in the past: "I like to a split a gut laughin'." "It seemed as how nobody had thought about measurin' the width of the bridge's openin', and we like to didn't make it through" (Dictionary of American Regional English). [Middle English liken, to compare, from like, similar; see like2.] Our Living Language In certain Southern varieties of American English there are two grammatically distinct usages of the word like to mean "was on the verge of." In both, either like or liked is possible. In the first, the word is followed by a past infinitive: We liked (or like) to have drowned. The ancestor of this construction was probably the adjective like in the sense "likely, on the verge of," as in She's like to get married again. The adjective was reinterpreted by some speakers as a verb, and since like to and liked to are indistinguishable in normal speech, the past tense came to be marked on the following infinitive for clarity. From this developed a second way of expressing the same concept: the use of like to with a following finite past-tense verb form, as in I like to died when I saw that. This construction appears odd at first because it ostensibly contains an ungrammatical infinitive to died; but that is not the case at all. What has happened is that like to here has been reinterpreted as an adverb meaning almost. In fact, it is quite common to see the phrase spelled as a single word, in the pronunciation spelling liketa. |

the likes (or like) of people or things similar to (someone or something specified) we don't want the likes of you around here
[shortened from Old English gelīc; compare Old Norse glīkr and līkr like]
Usage: The use of like to mean such as was formerly thought to be undesirable in formal writing, but has now become acceptable. It was also thought that as rather than like should be used to mean in the same way that, but now both as and like are acceptable: they hunt and catch fish as/like their ancestors used to. The use of look like and seem like before a clause, although very common, is thought by many people to be incorrect or non-standard: it looks as though he won't come (not it looks like he won't come)

Verb
"Gustar" better avoided
• While gustar is one of the main ways of translating like, its use is not always appropriate. Used to refer to people, it may imply sexual attraction. Instead, use expressions like caer bien or parecer/resultar simpático/agradable. These expressions work like gustar and need an indirect object:
I like Francis very much Francis me cae muy bien or me parece muy simpático or agradable She likes me, but that's all (A ella) le caigo bien, pero nada másLike + verb
• Translate to like doing sth and to like to do sth using gustar + ((INFINITIVE)):
Doctors don't like having to go out to visit patients at night A los médicos no les gusta tener que salir a visitar pacientes por la noche My brother likes to rest after lunch A mi hermano le gusta descansar después de comer• Translate to like sb doing sth and to like sb to do sth using gustar + que + ((SUBJUNCTIVE)):
My wife likes me to do the shopping A mi mujer le gusta que haga la compra I don't like Irene living so far away No me gusta que Irene viva tan lejos"How do you like...?"
• Use qué + parecer to translate how do/did you like when asking someone's opinion:
How do you like this coat? ¿Qué te parece este abrigo? How did you like the concert? ¿Qué te ha parecido el concierto?• But use cómo + gustar when using how do you like more literally:
How do you like your steak? ¿Cómo le gusta la carne?Would like
• When translating would like, use querer with requests and offers and gustar to talk about preferences and wishes:
Would you like a glass of water? ¿Quiere un vaso de agua? What would you like me to do about the tickets? ¿Qué quieres que haga respecto a los billetes? I'd very much like to go to Spain this summer Me gustaría mucho ir a España este veranoNOTE Literal translations of I'd like are better avoided when making requests in shops and restaurants. Use expressions like the following:
I'd like steak and chips ¿Me pone un filete con patatas fritas?, (Yo) quiero un filete con patatas fritaslike [ˈlaɪk]
