Japanese

<p>
	In a previous lesson we learned that we can nominalize verbs, which means turning them into nouns, by attaching <strong>の</strong> after the plain form.
	We used this to express skill at doing an activity.
</p>

<p>
	We can use the same pattern to express our like or dislike of a certain activity.
	To say that you like doing something, we simply use a verb in the <strong>plain form + のが<ruby>好su</ruby>き</strong>.
	Similarly, if you don’t like something, you can use <strong>plain form + のが<ruby>嫌kira</ruby>い</strong>.
</p>

<p>
	We already knew how to say <strong>I like movies</strong>. Now we're also able to say <strong>I like watching movies</strong>.
