EUT: Important Verbs for Food and Drink - Mögen

Important Verbs for Food and Drink - Mögen

Mögen also means to like but only use mögen before nouns. Do not mix mögen with another verb:

• Ich mag Limonade.
  • I like lemonade.
• Ich trinke gern Limonade.
  
  • I like to drink lemonade.

For now, all you need to know is how to conjugate it. Mögen is conjugated a little differently, so it is important you memorize the following:

• Infinitive: mögen
  • ich mag
  • du magst
  • er/sie/es mag
  • wir mögen
  • ihr mögt
  • sie/Sie mögen

Mögen is used with kein to indicate dislikes. Look at the examples below:

• Ich mag kein Fleisch.
  • I don't like meat.
• Ich mag keinen Fisch.
  • I don't like fish.
• Ich mag keinen Tee.
  • I don't like tea.
