Portuguese term or phrase: gosto muito de lá
Gostaria de uma confirmação da frase.

Eu pensei em " I like it there very much" é possível falar " I like there a lot " ? o " it" é necessário?

Agradeço pela ajuda.

I really like it there
Explanation:
This is how I'd put it. You can't say: 'I like there a lot', you need 'it', if you're going to put it like that, but I think 'I really like it there' reads better in English :-)
