Am I Translating This Correctly?

But you are right.....it should have been......

Me encantaron or Me encantan

Oh, that is exactly why I said "nos encantan" the first time, too. But she has "I love them" in her English version, and she pointed that out to me. LOL! Makes sense in English.

Ah yes! It does look like I should have said "Me encantan"! I was doing way too many things at the time and wasn't thinking about how "encantar" is like "gustar". The last thing I studied was direct and indirect object pronouns. That's why I translated "I love them" as "Los encanto". I think/hope she understands my Spanish in progress .

Er - which way are you translating?

Yes, I understand you.

If you don't want to use the subjunctive, you can say: "Les deseamos un maravilloso año nuevo".
