> Minä rakastan kahvia This is like saying "I feel intimate of coffee". Finns wouldn't say that. Rakasta is translated as love but it's the kind of love reserved for immediate family or lovers, not just things you like a lot, and kahvi is in the wrong case, like having the wrong preposition. Minä pidän paljon kahvista is a more normal way to say "I like coffee a lot". The English "to love" doesn't really have a good translation in Finnish. And, since it's about efficiency, you can lop off the pronoun, since the verb conjugation implies it: Pidän paljon kahvista And, just a bit of soft context, the Finnish way of speaking is often terse, so if a Finn is saying they like something, it often had the same degree as when an American says they love something, otherwise they wouldn't bother mentioning it. So, you can get rid of the "much", too: Pidän kahvista
