Le Gusto

[Equis]

I was watching a movie and the lady said, Le Gusto which I think that means. "He likes me". I thought that would mean i like him . Thanks

If you translate gustar as to be pleasing, then le gusto translates as I am pleasing to him = he likes me.

Similarly: no me gustan los helados = ice creams are not pleasing to me = I don't like ice cream.

Good explanation.

This is not the the first time the verb "gustar" has been asked.

or if the accent was in "le gustó" its as "he liked it"

I hadn't thought of it.

How about also translating.

If I had a girlfriend
If I had eaten
I would have eatin
I would eat

these are how I think they should be, but i dont know

si yo tuviera una novia
si yo hubiera comido
yo hubiera comido
yo comeria

If I had a girlfriend, I would kiss her
Si tuviera (imperfecto del subjuntivo) una novia, la besaría(condicional)


If I had a girlfriend, I would have kissed her
Si yo tuviera (imperfecto del subjuntivo) una novia, la habría besado (condicional compuesto)


Comería, si tuviese una comida
I would eat if I had some food

For me they are all right.

If you use "una" you are referring to one meal, one food, and not some. To say some you can leave it alone "tuviese/tuviera comida" or add "algo de", "tuviera algo de comida".

Gracias por corregirme ¿Cómo te suena "alguna comida"?

I'm not ookami, but "alguna comida" is still not the same as "some food".
It's better to use the expressions he has suggested.

No se sentiría tan débil si pudiera hacer por lo menos una comida al día.
He/she wouldn't feel so weak if he/she could have at least one meal every day.

No se sentiría tan débil si pudiera hacer alguna comida al día.
He/she wouldn't feel so weak if he/she could have any of the daily meals.

No se sentiría tan débil si tuviera comida/si tuviera algo de comida.
He/she wouldn't feel so week if he/she had some food (available).
