Maybe you like learning languages, swimming, or going to parties. Or maybe you dislike studying, physical activity, and social events\u2014whatever it is you like or dislike, this article aims to teach you how to express that in Spanish!<\/p>\n

\"Spanish<\/span><\/p>\n

What is it that you like\/dislike?<\/h2>\n

Remember, when you\u2019re saying what you like and dislike, you can refer to various things. You can talk about a noun:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t
No me gusta la m\u00fasica pop.<\/i><\/td>I don\u2019t like pop music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

You can talk about an action (a verb):<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t
No me gusta nadar.<\/i><\/td>I don\u2019t like swimming,<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

You can talk about an idea or concept. This might require the subjunctive<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t
No me gusta que me mientas tanto.<\/i><\/td>I don\u2019t like that you lie to me so much.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Saying that you like something<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with your \u2018gustos\u2019 (likes)! There are several phrases that you can use to say that you like something. Most of them are constructions with verbs. <\/p>\n

\"Like\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Image<\/p>\n

A lot of these constructions can confuse students a bit, because they\u2019re not as simple as \u2018I like X.\u2019 Instead, they take the form of \u2018X pleases\/amuses\/fascinates me.\u2019  <\/p>\n

When we learn basic sentences in Spanish, we often use a simple subject-verb(-object) word order, like in these examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t
Yo hablo.<\/td>I speak.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pedro escribe cartas.<\/td>Pedro writes letters.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

When we throw in some indirect object pronouns, things get a little more sophisticated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t
Yo te hablo.<\/i><\/td>I speak to you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pedro me escribe cartas.<\/i><\/td>Pedro writes letters to me.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

(If we want to, we can add a part that emphasizes who the \u2018recipient\u2019 of the action is, for example, \u2018Yo te hablo a ti.\u2019 If you want to know more about direct and indirect object pronouns, we\u2019ve got you covered<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

\u2018Gustar<\/em>,\u2019 which means \u2018to please\u2019 is just a verb like any other; don\u2019t be intimidated by it! The reason students get confused is that it gets mistranslated as \u2018to like.\u2019 Technically, \u2018gustar<\/em>\u2019 does not mean \u2018to like.\u2019 It means \u2018to please.\u2019 If X pleases Pedro, then Pedro likes X. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s use the verb gustar to begin with, to see what happens when we use verbs with indirect object pronouns. You can have a lot of fun switching up the word order here!<\/p>\n

*Some of the sentences are grammatically unnatural (so we recommend you don\u2019t use them), but they help with explanation, so bear with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Gustar<\/i><\/td>To please<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
La m\u00fasica gusta.*<\/i><\/td>Music pleases.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
La m\u00fasica gusta a Pedro.*<\/i><\/td>Music pleases Pedro.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
La m\u00fasica le gusta a Pedro.<\/i><\/td>Music pleases Pedro.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A Pedro le gusta la m\u00fasica.<\/i><\/td>To Pedro, music is pleasing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
La m\u00fasica le gusta.<\/i><\/td>Music pleases him\/her (i.e. he\/she likes music.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Le gusta la m\u00fasica.<\/i><\/td>Music pleases him\/her (i.e. he\/she likes music.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
La m\u00fasica me gusta.<\/i><\/td>Music pleases me. (i.e. I like music.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Me gusta la m\u00fasica.<\/i><\/td>Music pleases me. (i.e. I like music.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

You can see that it\u2019s very unnatural to say things like, \u2018To Pedro, music is pleasing.\u2019 And that\u2019s why<\/strong> we translate it as \u2018Pedro likes music.\u2019 So if you\u2019re ever confused about word order, remember that \u2018to like\u2019 is a figurative English translation, but that \u2018gustar<\/em>\u2019 actually means \u2018to please.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Gustar<\/i><\/td>To please<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Me gusta la m\u00fasica.<\/i><\/td>I like music. (Music pleases me.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Encantar (me encanta)<\/i><\/td>To make happy (I love)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bailar me encanta.<\/i><\/td>I love dancing. (Dancing makes me really happy.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Divertir<\/i><\/td>To amuse<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Me divierten los dibujos animados.<\/i><\/td>Cartoons amuse me.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fascinar<\/i><\/td>To fascinate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Me fascina la ciencia.<\/i><\/td>Science fascinates me.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Hacer re\u00edr<\/i><\/td>To make laugh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mi hermana me hace re\u00edr cada d\u00eda.<\/i><\/td>My sister makes me laugh every day.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Hacer sonre\u00edr<\/i><\/td>To make smile<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Me haces sonre\u00edr.<\/i><\/td>You make me smile.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Interesar<\/i><\/td>To interest<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Me interesa mucho el tema.<\/i><\/td>The topic really interests me.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Amar<\/i><\/td>To love<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Te amo.<\/i><\/td>I love you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a1X mola! (Madrid slang)<\/i><\/td>X rocks!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a1Lo m\u00e1ximo! (Colombian slang)<\/i><\/td>Awesome!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Saying why<\/em> you like it!<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve said that you like something, it makes sense to justify your opinion with a reason. <\/p>\n

First off, you\u2019ll need some ways to say \u2018because.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t
Porque es<\/i><\/td>Because it\u2019s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ya que es<\/i><\/td>Because\/seeing as it\u2019s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Puesto que es<\/i><\/td>Because\/seeing as it\u2019s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

None of us can pretend to like everything. It\u2019s just as important to be able to express what you don\u2019t<\/strong> like. So, let\u2019s look at how to describe your \u2018disgustos\u2019\/\u2018aversiones\u2019\/\u2018antipat\u00edas\u2019 (dislikes)!<\/p>\n

And here are some negative adjectives to explain why you dislike something!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

If these are too strong for you, then you could use the word \u2018demasiado\u2019 with a more neutral adjective. It means \u2018too.\u2019 For example,<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
