1.
Sevmek = To like/love
We use this verb usually when we like something or somebody and you should get the accusative form of the verb/noun firstly. And when you get the noun form of the verb, add -ma/me to the root.
-Sen + i seviyorum. = I like/love you.
-Müziği seviyorum. = I like music. {Müzik (music) + i (accusative) , k --> ğ}
-Müzik dinlemeyi seviyorum. = I like listening to music. { dinlemek = to listen to, dinle (root) + me (getting noun form suffix from verb ; in English -ing --> listening ) + y + i (accusative) }
2.
Hoşlanmak = To like/enjoy/love
It is almost same with sevmek but we more use it for somebody or verb. And you should use ablative case (-dan /den {-tan/ten} ) of the noun/verb. And when you get the noun form, add -mak/mek to the root)
-Senden hoşlanıyorum.
-Müzikten hoşlanıyorum.
-Müzik dinlemekten hoşlanıyorum. { dinle (root) + mek (noun form) + ten (ablative)

Sometimes you can use the same Turkish verb in a different meaning. I will give you some example sentences.
1-You can use like and love verbs for this meaning. Do you like fish? I'm sure he loves his kids.
2-You can use enjoy and like verbs for this meaning. I really enjoyed that meal. I don’t like talking in public.
3-Generally you can get with like verb for this meaning. Like us on Facebook! I like your new haircut.

Beğenmek - is based on what you see. You know how person looks in acts. The problem is what you see isn't what you get.
Hoşlanmak - is not about only what you see. It is about what you feel. You may have romantic feelings. But those feelings can change fast.
Sevmek- sevgi grows when people are kind. Hard work together and is based on facts. You know person well, his quality like kindness, patience, peace. So it takes time to know person better and love him.
