The key to describing this verb in Spanish is that it is really love because we use it when we feel it in the heart. In Spanish this is usually an exaggeration. The difference in this case when I give my opinion that I like something or someone very much, it is not common to say ‘lo amo’ as in English ‘I love it’. The verb ‘amar’ is translated into English as ‘to love’. In English ‘I really like it’, for example. When you like something very much you can say: ‘me gusta mucho’. Like ‘gustarte’, it carries the indirect pronoun: me, te, le, nos, os ó les. We can say ‘me gusta eso’, if the direct complement is not clear, but if it is clear we save a word. In this case: ‘what do I like?’ (‘¿qué me gusta?’). The direct complement in grammar answers the question ‘what?’. Direct ObjectĪnother difference that you will have noticed is that it is not necessary to say as in English ‘it’ (I like it), the direct complement. So if I ask: ‘who likes it?’ The answer is ‘a mí’, in the case of ‘me gusta’. We cannot substitute ‘me’ (or in its case ‘te’, ‘le’,…) with ‘a mí’ (or in its case ‘a tí’, ‘a él’, ‘a ella’,…). The repetition is to emphasize that ‘a mí’ or ‘I’ in particular ‘me gusta’ or like something. I can also say: ‘a mí me gusta’, even if I am repeating ‘a mí’ and ‘me’. Therefore, if I say ‘me gusta’, I am saying that ‘a mí me gusta’. They: LES, that means ‘them’ (to them).You (plural): OS, that means ‘you’ (to you).He / She: LE, that means ‘him’ (to him) or ‘her’ (to her).Ellos / Ellas: LES, that means ‘a ellos’ or ‘a ellas’.Vosotros / Vosotras: OS, that means ‘a vosotros’ or ‘a vosotras’.Nosotros / Nosotras: NOS, that means ‘a nosotros’ or ‘a nosotras’.Él / Ella: LE, that means ‘a él’ or ‘a ella’. What are the indirect pronouns? According to the person they are the following: The indirect complement in Spanish grammar answers the question ‘who?’ The main difference as seen in the title of this section, ‘Me gusta’, is that in Spanish the verb ‘gustar’ has the indirect pronoun. The literal translation of the verb ‘gustar’ in Spanish is in English ‘to like’. ‘Me gusta’ is the natural expression towards something that pleases us, attracts us, seems or looks nice, is nice. To understand the difference between the three we will first define each of them. Nobody likes negative opinions, so the most important expressions are or we want them to be positive: ‘me gusta’, ‘me encanta’, ‘amo’. That is, when we give our opinion on any thing or matter, and through which we express our way of thinking, our ideology, our being.Īnd what better than that opinion is positive. These are probably the most important expressions in a person’s daily life. The human being has distorted the reality at will by also modifying part of the theory of a dictionary towards a practice impregnated especially of culture for a more comfortable life with the accelerated times that we live. But the reality, or practice, is sometimes a little different. The truth is that I do not know anyone who continues to use physical dictionaries, at least for a vocabulary that is not technical.Ī dictionary can give you the theoretical definition of the word. There are many translators or translation pages, or even a physical dictionary, if you do not want to go to the Internet. In these times, it is very easy to go to Google and ask anything that comes to mind, and even what does not, and it will give you the answer. Most people know the definition of each of these 3 expressions: ‘me gusta’, ‘me encanta’ and ‘amo’, but…and the practice? Differences between ‘me gusta’, ‘me encanta’ and ‘amo’
