The adverb 'mais' must come before the verb, not before the pronoun.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, 'você' is the standard informal way to address someone, while in Portugal speakers may opt for 'tu' in casual settings. The phrase is neutral in register, but if you want to sound more formal you can replace 'você' with 'o senhor' / 'a senhora'. Also, Brazilians often drop the preposition 'de' after 'gostar' in questions, whereas European Portuguese tends to keep it (e.g., 'Qual parte você mais gosta de?').
