¡Cuidado!

*Te gusta (you like) and me gusta (I like) are special constructions in Spanish. When expressing likes and dislikes you will generally use one of two forms: gusta and gustan. Each of these corresponds to the number in things (singular or plural) that you like or find pleasing.

Ejemplos:
Me gustan los viajes. I like trips.
Te gusta el vino tinto.
You like red wine.

It is important to note that gustar has romantic connotations when referring to people. To signal that you like someone’s personality, you would say me cae bien.

Ejemplo:
Mi vecino me cae bien. I like my neighbour.
