How to say you like someone

How do I say I like someone, rather than I fancy someone? Or indeed that I don't like someone! For example, I like him but I don't fancy him.

que! soprano!

such a clear, beautiful soprano voice and a beautiful, blending chorus of young angels . . .

una voz de soprano tan clara y hermosa y un coro de ángeles jóvenes tan hermoso... .

I cannot find a word to add "blending" into the Spanish.

Thank you for the text about Papamoscas.

This was a really fun exercise for me...

My daughter and I spent last Christmas in Burgos, where all my father's family and ancestors are from. Whilst there we visited the beautiful cathedral and we saw Papamoscas! He certainly is a funny little man :) You do need either good eyesight or binoculars to see him as he is really high up!

Shouldn't some of these be used reflexively with sentirse?

For these three examples, wouldn't it be:

¿Tú no te sientes nada por ella?

Vosotros os sentís un gran amor por la naturaleza.

Él se siente una gran alegría.

importance of the tenses/cases in the text of the narrative

really are the subjunctive cases all that important to the idea of the narrative? the tense does not matter. the thought she is processing is entirely subjunctive
and accumulative: both backward, present and forward looking. She faces a complicated decision and does not take it lightly so she considers the established
track record of the relationship, family and social pressures to marry, and whether this situation meets her needs.

Same meaning without “se”? María te habría prestado el dinero ________ en dos semanas. María would have lent you the money as long as you had given it back within two weeks.mientras tú se lo habrías devueltomientras que se lo hubieras devuelto. Hi, would the meaning be the same if “se” was omitted? With “se” does it actually mean “returned it to her”? Thanks, Shirley.

Omission of object pronoun

The sentence "Now I want to repeat it!" is translated as ¡Ahora quiero repetir!

Why doesn't Spanish need an object pronoun here?

Gracias

Wrong Translation

Mi madre no piensa que yo vaya a terminar el curso de fotografía.My mother does not think I will be able to finish the photography course.
“…vaya a terminar..” means …going to finish…” It does not mean “…be able to finish…” but, hey, I may be translating too literal?
