1. to be liked; to be loved; to be popular
The passive form of ()く, used to express that someone or something is liked or well-received by others. Much more common than the active form ()く in modern Japanese.
みんな()かれている
Everyone likes him/her.
I want to be the kind of student that teachers like.
To be liked by others, it is important to first listen carefully to what they have to say.

The passive form of ()く (to like), but far more commonly used than the active form in modern Japanese. While () (the adjective) is the standard way to express liking something, ()かれる is the natural way to say someone is liked by others. The active verb ()く is relatively rare in speech.
