Discúlpame, pero eso no es gracioso. Y este no es el lugar para hablar de la infidelidad a un contrato de matrimonio. Mejor regresemos al tema.

gracias de nuevo porque realmente esa información me ayuda mucho

Thank heavens for the search function!

I was taught exactly the same - only more that 'gustar' is only used in the third person!

I was beginning to think I must be imagining things on the TV. I keep hearing 'gustamos', so I looked in my 501 Spanish Verbs & that says that it's usually only used in the third person. So of course I got to thinking..............


te gustamos must mean 'you like us' - confusion solved

Well of course, or even we are pleasing to you, but I find 'interpretation' is usually more useful than 'translation'

Well, for me anyway.

[irmamar]

¿Sólo en tercera persona?
Yo les gusto a mis vecinos.
Tú le gustas a tu novio.
Él te gusta.
Nosotros le gustamos a nuestro jefe.
Vosotros le gustáis al profesor.
Ellos me gustan.

- Que aproveche.
- ¿Gustan?

Creo que no.

[Perikles]

Perhap gustar is used more often in the 3rd person singular than most verbs because of constructions like

me gustaría que ....
nos gustaría que ....

[irmamar]

Maybe, but we use the other persons, too.
