Se lo encanta leer. The "lo" is the direct object pronoun for "el libro" and the indirect "le" becomes "se". In Spanish you can't say "le lo encanta leer", the indirect "le" becomes "se".

Sorry about that. Of course Malila is correct. In your sentence "book" is the subject and "le" is the indirect object. I was thinking of a sentence like "I gave the book to Anna" which translated to "I gave it to her" would be "Se lo di a Anna".

I hope I got this one right:>))

@Tacuba: I was wondering what you had in mind, but the second one is right.

¿El verbo gustar es diferente? Porque pensaba que si había un verbo el complemento indirecto y el complemento directo tenían que ir enfrente del verbo?

Le lo gusta-->Se lo gusta

Le doy el libro-->Se lo doy

¿Pero lo correcto es "Le gusta leerlo"?

Gracias

El verbo "gustar" es ciertamente distinto de "dar", pero dejaré la cuestión técnica para que un usuario con mayor conocimiento lo explique.


Mientras tanto:

"Se lo gusta" no es correcto, pero "se lo da" sí.

La construcción estándar para "gustar", es "gustarle algo a alguien", but "algo" cannot be replaced by any form of "se" or "le" or "lo", but by "eso", "esto"...
In this case, I'd suggest that you think about "(Something) pleases me/you/him, etc.", instead of "I like (something)".

(A mí) me gusta leer. --> (Eso) me gusta.
I like reading.

(A él) no le gusta ir a la escuela. --> (Eso) no le gusta.
He doesn't like going to school.

(A nosotros) nos gusta el agua. --> (Eso) nos gusta.
We like water.

(A ellos/a ustedes) les gusta cantar. --> (Eso) les gusta.
They/you like to sing.


Los pronombres para "darle algo a alguien", son diferentes.
In this case, I'd suggest you think about "(someone) gives me/you/her, etc. something".

(Yo) le di el libro (a él). --> Se lo di.
I gave him the book.

(Nosotros) les dimos pan (a ustedes/a ellos). --> Se lo dimos.
We gave you/them bread.

(Ellos) nos dan paz (a nosotros). --> Nos la dan.
They give us peace.

(Ustedes) me han dado (a mí) muchos regalos. --> Me los han dado.
You have given me many presents.


I hope it's useful.

Thank you very much

Fue muy útil. ¿"eso me gusta leer" básicamente es igual que "me gusta leerlo" o es mejor decir la primera opción? I am still a little confused.

Thank you

Yo creo que las traducciones será así

Eso me gusta leer - I like to read that (while pointing at it)
Me gusta leerlo - I like to read it (al hablarlo)
