「を大好き」と「が大好き」の違いは何ですか？


What's the difference in usage and meaning when using を with 大好き or 好き versus
using が? I would think that using が is stating that the subject that you are
talking about is loved, while using を is suggesting that they are being loved,
despite the fact that 好き is an adjective, not a verb. However, I read
elsewhere that using を is actually less strong. What's the difference?




The important difference is the fact that using が is correct by anyone's
standards and using を is only correct by certain people's standards. We may
have been using the latter for decades now (and I admit that many native
speakers do) but how significant is that against the whole history of our
language?

Point is there are people who use only が with 好き and those who use both が and
を, but I do not think there are people who only use を. It is as though we knew
intrinsically which one was "more" correct originally.

My own stance is that any grammar discussion on this matter is doomed to
failure as anyone can instantly collect millions of examples for either camp
online, so I will talk about the difference between the two.

As OP mentioned, using が would tend to express a stronger liking than using を.
If you used が in telling someone that you like him/her, you would be likely to
sound more serious. If you used を, you COULD possibly end up sounding a little
bit capricious if not necessarily flirtatious. Needless to say, though, the
other person would not make a hasty decision based solely on a single particle
choice by you. Everything else you say will count just as much or even more.
