Please make an effort to format your posts. A question requires only one question mark -- not two, not three, definitely not 17.

PS It's not an idiom.

I kind of like is not as strong to me as I like.

Also, when we're speaking, we often use unnecessary words, or omit words- speech is not organised the same way as writing and we don't always speak in perfect sentences.

Hi symaa

As Tdol says: "I kind of like is not as strong to me as I like."

It's [dare I say "sort of"] equivalent to: "I rather/quite like [or I am quite partial to] cold weather.
"Kind of" is also often shortened to "kinda".

Hope this helps

If you "kind of" like something, you like it a little.

I kind of like opera, but I really like jazz.

It's not true that I am in love with Becky. I kind of like her, but I wouldn't call it love.

Do you like red wine?
Kind of. I try not to drink to much alcohol though.

To say "kind of like" means that you like it in a certain way, with the "kind" referring to the type of liking. As others have stated, it means that the speaker likes it but not in the full traditional understanding of liking, and it implies "less than" the usual meaning.

Please try to remember to put a full stop at the end of every sentence, even if you are moving down to a new line for your next sentence.

But don't therefore think that 'kind of like' always means this, symaa. In some contexts 'like' is not even a verb. The words 'kind of' have a similar meaning [='approximately'], but a native speaker, or experienced student, will easily recognize 'kind of like' as meaning (informally) 'similar, but not exactly the same'. Other students may find it confusing. ;-)
