Quotes about Love.

The German Verb “mögen”

Ich mag Pizza. - I like pizza. Ich mag Mathe nicht. - I don’t like maths. Ich mag diese Serie. - I like this show. Ich mag all meine Follower. - I like all of my followers.

Yep. We use “mögen” a lot. It means “to like”. Here are the forms in the present tense (it’s an irregular verb):

Ich mag - I like Du magst - You like Er/Sie/Es mag - He/She/It likes Wir mögen - We like Ihr mögt - You like Sie mögen - They like

As you can see, the forms for I and He/She/It are the same, exactly as the forms for We and They.

You can use “mögen” whenever you want to express that you like or that you dislike something.

Ich mag Katzen, aber ich mag keine Spinnen. - I like cats but I don’t like spiders.

Easy, right?

But wait, what is this: Ich möchte bitte ein Glas Wasser. - I would like to have a glass of water please.

“Möchten” is not another verb, it’s just the Konjunktiv 1 form of “mögen”.

“Mögen” is used to express general preferences, as in “I like something” “Möchten” is used when talking about wishes: I would like something (or would like to do something).

Forms of “möchten” in the present tense:

Ich möchte - I would like Du möchtest - You would like Er/Sie/Es möchte - He/She/It would like Wir möchten - We would like Ihr möchtet - You would like Sie möchten - They would like

Again the difference between “mögen” and “möchten”: Möchtest du Kinder? - Would you like to have children? Magst du Kinder? - Do you like children?

In the first sentence, you are asked if you wish to have children sometime. The second is a question about your general attitude towards children.
