とても means "very"  
[好]{す}き means "like"  
[大好]{だいす}き means "like very much"

If I really like something can I use とてもとても大好きです ?

question
grammar adverbs
Can とても be used with [大好]{だいす}き or [大嫌]{だいきら}い?
[Google says
yes](http://www.google.com/search?q=%22%E3%81%A8%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E5%A4%A7%E5%A5%BD%E3%81%8D%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99%22),
to the tune of 1 million hits. A lot of the time it's used to describe how
much you like something (とても大好きなお店). I presume that you were asking "Can you
say totemo daisuki desu to someone". You can say that too (あなたがとても大好きです).

[Totemo
daikirai](http://www.google.com/search?q=%22%E3%81%A8%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E5%A4%A7%E5%AB%8C%E3%81%84%22)
doesn't have as big a number of hits in Google.

Someone else will have to confirm this, but it sounds sort of childish. Maybe
because the feeling is so strong.

> can I use “Totemo totemo daisuki desu”?

Whether you can use it or not depends on the context.

I think that “totemo daisuki” is redundant and therefore it is better to use
either “totemo suki” (without dai-) or “daisuki” (without totemo) when some
formalness is required. However, in informal contexts, there is nothing wrong
with using the redundant expression to emphasize how much you like it. Using
an informal expression can sometimes even imply that you really mean it (to
the extent that you do not care about avoiding redundant expressions).

The same applies to “totemo daikirai,” too.

I mean, totemo daisuki is in the lyrics of the Doraemon theme song, so... I
would say yes, you can use it...
