What does “daisuki” mean? What in English? 大好き
Daisuki（だいすき、大好き） means “liking something or somebody a lot” or “loving something or somebody”.
“Daisuki” is easier to see if it is separated into “dai（大）” and “suki（好き）”.
“Dai” means “very”, “many”, “big”, etc. and “suki” is a verb meaning “like”.
The word has a slightly casual impression, so it might be better to refrain from using it in business situations and use other expressions.
