Patinka
There is another popular verb which works the same way as reikėti:
patikti - to appeal, to be liked
Its present tense 3rd person (jis, ji, jie, jos) is patinka.
Unlike reikėti, you can conjugate this verb as you are used to:
aš patinku - I appeal
tu patinki - you appeal
jis/ji/jie/jos patinka - he/she/they appeal
mes patinkame - we appeal
jūs patinkate - you appeal
But what is similar to reikėti, you must use those little words man, tau, jam, jai, mums, jums, jiems, joms (which are the dative case of the pronouns aš, tu, jis, ji, mes, jūs, jie, jos). By using them, you say what appeals to what, what is liked by what:
tu patinki man - you appeal to me
jis/ji/jie/jos patinka man - he/she/they appeal to me
mes patinkame man - we appeal to me
jūs patinkate man - you appeal to me
aš patinku tau - I appeal to you
jis/ji/jie/jos patinka tau - he/she/they appeal to you
mes patinkame tau - we appeal to you
