Turn the gaps into your vocabulary
Download the app for free German vocabulary testGerman has no free-standing adjective for this. Where English says my favourite book, German glues the word on: mein Lieblingsbuch, meine Lieblingsfarbe, mein Lieblingslied. Lieblings- exists only as the first half of a compound and never stands alone.
So the English question which is your favourite? has no direct German form; you have to name the thing — welches ist dein Lieblingsbuch? The noun der Liebling on its own means darling, not favourite, and the sporting favourite is der Favorit, borrowed.
am liebsten most of all
The way round the missing adjective: ich trinke am liebsten Tee, “tea is my favourite drink”.
Favorit favourite to win
Borrowed, and confined to sport and betting.
Liebling darling
The free noun means the person, not the preference.
