Literally the text is wrote in Spanish of a way correct, although there are incongruence in any words.
I will try to translating you the text into of the English. I will not speak with any girl, unless that I've knowledge with that kind to guy to she likes. No hablare con ninguna chica a menos que sepa que tipo de chicas le guste. Hope I am in the text and I hope it can help in something.

i was wondering if LA gustan would have worked too instead of LE gustan
also wouldn't INTERESAN be wrong there? as its the 3rd person plural i think only INTERESARLA or LE/LA gustan would work there Last edited by hola; November 05, 2009 at 12:05 AM. |

-No, only LE.
-"INTERESAN" is right, it's refering to "they", and "le" to "her". "le interesan a ella"

oh ok
i sometimes see people use/say LA when referring to a girl whereas LE can be him OR her if it's true that INTERESARLA can be used i'll stay w/ it as i still don't understand how INTERESAN fits there it's the 3rd person plural while the subject is the 3rd person singular i highly doubt INTERESAR can be conjugated like GUSTAR GUSTAR is a weird verb it has a backward definition INTERESAR isn't like that in fact i'd use INTERESARLE Last edited by hola; November 05, 2009 at 04:00 AM. |

Le = Indirect Object Llámala: DO Dile: IO "Interesan" here is used because the subject is "chicos", not "ella". There are two sentences here: 1 -yo no hablaré con ella a menos que sepa eso 2 -eso = qué tipo de chicos le interesan el tipo de chicos = los chicos Los chicos que le interesan a ella ("le" and "a ella" : IO) Subject and verb are coincident in number in Spanish. Compare: El chico que le interesa a ella. Los chicos que le interesan a ella. The verb is "interesarse", pronominal. You would say: Quiero interesarle a alguien Quiero que alguien se interese por mí Me interesas tú. Tal vez le intereses a tu vecino. etc. Me gustas tú Me interesas tú. Yo te quiero Yo le gusto a él. Yo le intereso a él. Él me quiere. Sorry, "interesarse" is also a weird verb

I would back-translate that as "I won't speak with a girl like that unless I know what kinds of guys she likes." I you want "speak ... that way" then it's clearer to move the adverb adjacent to the verb: "No hablaré así con una chica a menos que sepa..."

quiero interesarle a alguien = I want to interest someone ... / I want to get somebody interested ...
This is a sentence fragment. You would usually follow the phrase with something that answers the question ¿en qué? quiero que alguien se interese por mí = I want someone to be interested in me / I want someone to take interest in me |
