ちなみに、私も好きです (chinami ni, watashi mo suki desu - By the way, I like it too.)

Grammar & Usage

fixed expression

neutral to polite

How it works

The phrase starts with ちなみに (chinami ni), an adverbial phrase meaning 'by the way' or 'incidentally', used to add related information. 私は (watashi wa) means 'I' (subject particle removed here for natural flow, common in spoken Japanese), も (mo) means 'also' or 'too', and 好きです (suki desu) means 'like' or 'is liked'. The です (desu) suffix makes the statement polite. The implied object of 'suki' is usually clear from context.
