What does すきだよ (sukidayo) mean?

What does "すきだよ" (sukidayo) mean? My Japanese ex-boyfriend sent me this phrase in a text message, and I want to understand its significance and context. Could you help me with its translation and any cultural implications it may have?

It means I Like You.

it can also be Daisuki dayo… or in kanji 大好きだよ or I Really Like You.

As above people have already said it means I like you.

When I hear people say it I interpret it as “I like you alot” but the literal meaning is “I like you”.

Hmmm ex-boyfriend huh?

Looks like he’s not so “ex” emotionally!!

Hopefully this is good news for you and not something that involves eyes rolling and sighing.

Your boyfriend is saying “I like ya” in a cute way.

Japanese people dont say ‘love’ very often, but usually “daisuki” which is litterally ‘big like’ or ‘like heaps’

It’s pronounced Ski-da-yo. And yes it means I like you (literally you are pleasing)

that is pronounced as “ski” …suki means like but when you put it in a sentence it becomes [like or] love…”suki da yo” means “i really like you or i really love you” ‘yo’ emphasizes the speaker’s true feelings. you can say “suki da yo” or “anata wa suki da yo”

It is “I like you” or “I love you”

it depends on the situation.
