Contexto cultural
The phrase uses the dative case ('to me'), which is a hallmark of Indo-Aryan languages. It reflects a worldview where feelings 'happen' to a person rather than the person 'performing' the liking. It gained massive popularity through Bollywood songs and remains the standard for expressing preference across all Hindi-speaking regions.
The Plural Trick
If you like more than one thing (like 'books'), change 'hai' to the nasalized 'hain'. It makes you sound like a pro!
Don't use 'Main'
Never say 'Main pasand hoon' to mean 'I like it.' That actually means 'I am liked'—which sounds a bit conceited!

What It Means
Mujhe pasand hai is your all-access pass to expressing preference in Hindi. It is the most common way to say 'I like it.' Unlike English where 'I' is the subject, in Hindi, the thing you like is the subject. You are basically saying that something is pleasing to you. It is simple, direct, and incredibly versatile. Whether you are talking about a spicy samosa or a Bollywood blockbuster, this phrase has your back.
How To Use It
Using this phrase is like building with Lego blocks. Start with Mujhe (to me). Add the thing you like in the middle. Finish with pasand hai. For example, Mujhe coffee pasand hai. If you like multiple things, change hai to hain. It is that easy. You do not need to worry about complex verb conjugations here. Just keep the object in the middle and you are golden. It is the ultimate 'low effort, high reward' Hindi expression.
When To Use It
You can use this in almost any daily scenario. Use it at a restaurant when the waiter asks about a dish. Use it while shopping when your friend holds up a bright neon shirt. It is perfect for small talk with colleagues about hobbies. It is also great for texting. If someone sends you a funny meme, a quick Mujhe yeh pasand hai (I like this) works perfectly. It is the bread and butter of social interaction.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for deep, romantic love. If you are confessing your undying devotion to someone, Mujhe pasand hai might sound a bit like you just 'like' them as a hobby. It is a bit too casual for a marriage proposal! Also, avoid it in extremely stiff, legal, or high-court environments. In those rare cases, more formal Persian-rooted words are used. But for 99% of your life, you are safe with this one.
Cultural Background
Indians are generally very expressive about their likes and dislikes. Food is a huge part of the culture, so you will hear this constantly at dinner tables. Interestingly, the word pasand comes from Persian. It reflects the beautiful 'Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb' or the blend of cultures in North India. Saying you like something is often seen as a polite way to build rapport. It shows you are engaged and appreciative of what is being offered.
Common Variations
If you really, really like something, just add bahut (very). Mujhe yeh bahut pasand hai! If you want to ask someone else, swap Mujhe for Aapko (formal) or Tumhe (informal). You will also hear Mujhe pasand nahi hai for things you dislike. In slang, younger crowds might just say 'Sahi hai' (It's right/cool). But pasand hai remains the undisputed king of clarity.
Notas de uso
This phrase is incredibly safe. It sits right in the middle of the formality scale. The only 'gotcha' is remembering that the verb 'to be' (hai/hain) must match the number of the objects you like, not yourself.
The Plural Trick
If you like more than one thing (like 'books'), change 'hai' to the nasalized 'hain'. It makes you sound like a pro!
Don't use 'Main'
Never say 'Main pasand hoon' to mean 'I like it.' That actually means 'I am liked'—which sounds a bit conceited!
The Head Bobble
When saying 'Mujhe pasand hai' in person, a slight side-to-side head tilt adds a layer of genuine Indian friendliness to your statement.
