ASK A QUESTION What does le gusta/le gustan mean???
I know it means likes and dislikes but why is it in starting with le? what does that mean?
le is an indirect object pronoun (him/her) used in these intransitive sentences.
A ella le gusta ...she likes
A él le gusta...he likes
Notice that the subject of the sentence (what is liked) commonly follows the verb.
A ella le gustan manzanas. (She likes apples).
To our English eyes, this literally, reads:
To her apples are pleasing. It translates as She likes apples.
'gustar' literally means 'to be pleasing to', so 'I like the car ' translates to 'the car pleasing to me', hence 'me gusta el coche' :D
le gusta=he/she likes it (or something singular) le gustan=he/she likes them (or something plural)
