caer, verb
to like

Apart from its basic meaning of fall, caer is useful for describing whether you like someone. You often use it in the phrase caer bien:

Su hermano me cae muy bien.
I like his brother a lot.

Creo que Pedro no le cayó muy bien a mi padre.
I don’t think my father liked Pedro very much, I don’t think my father really took to Pedro.

The opposite of caer bien is caer mal:

Yo le debía caer mal.
He must have disliked me, He can’t have liked me.

You can use the phrase caer gordo to mean you can’t stand someone:

Siempre me han caído mal.
I’ve never been able to stand them.
