How does one discuss preferences/ask what someone prefers out of a series of options?

Do you just list each option followed by 好不好？

Answer 1

Basically, there are two methods.

1. List the options first and then ask "which do you prefer?" You have to use a proper verb according to the options.

中餐、西餐、日本料理，你喜歡吃哪一種？

登山、游泳、慢跑、快走，你愛做哪一種運動？

2. Reverse the order.

你喜歡吃蘋果、香蕉、橘子、西瓜，還是木瓜？

放假的時候，你喜歡看書、玩遊戲、聽音樂，還是睡覺？

你喜欢thing1, thing2... 还是thing n？

你觉得thing1 好 还是 thing2 好 还是 thing3 好
