To say ‘I like basketball’ in French, you would say ‘J’aime le basketball.’
Let’s break it down:
- ‘J’aime’ means ‘I like’. It is the first person singular form of the verb ‘aimer’, which translates to ‘to like’ or ‘to love’ in English.
- ‘le basketball’ refers to the sport of basketball. In French, nouns have genders, and ‘basketball’ is a masculine noun, hence the use of the article ‘le’.
So when you combine these parts, you can express your appreciation for the sport in a simple yet effective way. Whether you’re chatting with friends or traveling in a French-speaking country, this phrase can come in handy!
