In all sentences we saw above, the object i.e. नाम of the sentence were inanimate objects.  What if object i.e. नाम was a person on living thing.
e.g. 
I like to see Kaushik.
He likes to push me(a boy). 

When talking about "persons"; we use "Preposition To" also with the proper noun/pronoun. Same as we do for subject of such sentence.
And verb is always formed with neuter-singular gender. 

Preposition "To" is explained in detail at
http://kaushiklele-learnmarathi.blogspot.com/2012/05/preposition-to.html
So,
I like to see Kaushik -> मला कौशिकला बघायला आवडते (malA kaushikalA baghAyalA AvaDate.)

Here we used कौशिकला(kaushikalA) instead of just कौशिक(kaushik). And verb form is आवडते(AvaDate) which is neuter-singular even if object i.e Kaushik is masculine.

Another examples,
He likes to push me(a boy). -> त्याला मला ढकलायला आवडते (tyAlA malA DhakalAyalA AvaDate)
He likes to push her -> त्याला तीला ढकलायला आवडते (tyAlA tIlA DhakalAyalA AvaDate)
They will like to hold us -> त्यांना आम्हाला धरायला आवडेल (tyAMnA AmhAlA dharAyalA AvaDel)
