When is すきです appropriate? I've heard すきです can have numerous meanings from 'love' to 'like'. Is it appropriate when commenting on a friend's photo to show you like it? I've seen it used to say somebody likes apples but also to show genuine love towards another and I would not like to offend. ありがとうございます!
