Like +-ing — enjoy
I like walking in the rain.
(The infinitive is also possible with this meaning, especially in American English. Deci e POSIBIL, nu alegerea cea mai buna!)
Like + infinitive - choose to; be in the habit of; think it right to
/ like to get up early so that I can get plenty of work done before lunch.
I heard you talking and I didn\'t like to disturb you, so I went away.
Note that would like means \'wish\' or \'want\', and is always followed by the infinitive.
What would you like to do tomorrow? (Not: *What would you like doing tomorrow?}

Nu cred. natural pentru cine, romani? Nu cred ca poti sa suni natural daca nu exprimi exact ce vrei (ori in multe cazuri pe care le-am intalnit agramat).
