Expressing you like something in Korean is relatively straight forward. You just say the thing you like and then put the the verb 좋아 해요jo-a-heyo at the end. You can also attach an optional 을/를 the noun.
- I like kimchi -> 김치(를) 좋아해요kimchi(reul) jo-a-heyo
- I like beer -> 맥주(를) 좋아해요mekju(reul) jo-a-heyo
- I like football -> 축구(를) 좋아해요chuk-gu(reul) jo-a-heyo.
But what if you want to say you like "doing" something. Basically when you want to use a verb instead of the noun. That's pretty easy. You take the verb stem and drop the -다-da: 먹다 -> 먹-meogda->meog- and then add 는 것(을)-neun got(seul). So it becomes 먹는 것(을)meog-neun got(seul)
- I like eating kimchi -> 김치 먹는 것(을) 좋아해요kimchi meogneun got(seul) jo-a-heyo
- I like drinking beer -> 맥주 마시는 것(을) 좋아해요mekju mashineun geot (-eul) jo-a-heyo
- I like playing football -> 축구 하는 것(을) 좋아해요chuk-gu ha-neun got(seul) jo-a-heyo.
