Very helpful w/ "Je la kiffe". What's IMHO? Thank you for all your comments :))

Thanks for sharing this new set of vids!

"kiffer" is slang and it's a bit tricky to use correctly. Specifically, we rarely use it with a pronoun as a direct object while talking about things (applies to music, too), only about persons.

"Je la kiffe" means that you feel attracted to somebody, or that you appreciate her for some other reason.
We would rarely say "je la kiffe" with "la" referring to music. Avoid the pronoun would allow using this verb with things, though: "je kiffe cette musique", "je kiffe cette chanson" (and because these sentences would be too short, we'd probably add some fillers like "comment", "grave" and "trop").

Also, "je l'aime mieux" means "I like it better (than the previous one)", so it doesn't really fit in the "7th likes" IMHO. "Je l'aime bien" would fit, though.
