Although my turkish vocabulary is small, I have already seen three ways of using the verb "to like"

bu daireyi biz beğeniyoruz (we like this flat)

bu bölge hoşuma gitti (I like this region)

Bursa´yı seviyor musunuz? (do you like Bursa?)

Does anyone have any pointers on how to distinguish which version to use or is it purely a matter of choice?

teşekkür ederim

Have a look at this  http://www.turkishlanguage.co.uk/ilikeit.htm

I hope it helps a little though native speakers will probably add their views too.

Thanks sonunda. As you suggested, a very useful learning site.
