How to Say “Likes and Dislikes” in French

les goûts et les dégoûts
The English phrase "likes and dislikes" is translated into French as les goûts et les dégoûts.
This phrase refers to the specific things that a person enjoys or finds unpleasant.

Did you know?

  • While 'likes' are les goûts, the word dégoût literally describes a physical sensation of disgust or nausea.
  • The word goûts is closely related to the English word 'gusto', which refers to a keen enjoyment of something.
  • The word et was often written simply as e in Old French before the Latin spelling with a 't' was reintroduced in the 12th century.
