Questions & Answers about Я люблю горячий шоколад.
Why is it люблю and not something like люблЮю or another form?
Люблю is the correct 1st person singular form of the verb любить (to love, to like).
- Infinitive: любить (to love / like)
- 1st person singular (I): я люблю (I love / I like)
- 2nd person singular (you): ты любишь
- 3rd person singular (he/she): он/она любит
There is no form люблюю in Russian; adding two ю’s would be incorrect. The ending -лю here is standard for some 1st person singular verbs in Russian (e.g. я вижу, я слышу, я люблю).
Why is it Я люблю, not Мне нравится горячий шоколад?
