Wo3 xi3 huan1 ni3 我喜欢你 I like you.
Wo3 我 I, xi3 huan1 喜欢 like, ni3 你 you. 我喜欢你 I like you.
If you want to say “I don’t like you.” All you need is to add bu4 (不 not) to negate it. Hence, I don’t like you will be Wo3 bu4 xi3 huan1 ni3 我不喜欢你.
If you want to deepen the like to love, you need to know the word ai4 爱love. So, I love you will be Wo3 ai4 ni3 我爱你. Guess what will be I don’t love you? Yes, it is easy, just to put bu4 不in front of the verb ai4 爱 to negate the meaning. Wo3 bu4 ai4 ni3 我不爱你.
Tone rule: when bu4 go with another verb also is fourth tone, the bu4 will be changed to second tone. So, bu4 ai4 should be pronounced as bu2 ai4.
