Questions & Answers about Me gusta la posibilidad de viajar a otro país con mi familia.
In Spanish, gustar does not work like English to like. Literally, gustar means to be pleasing.
- The thing that is liked is the grammatical subject.
- The person who likes it is an indirect object, shown with a pronoun (me, te, le, nos, les).
So:
- Me gusta la posibilidad... = The possibility is pleasing to me.
- Yo gusto la posibilidad... is incorrect in this sense and sounds wrong to native speakers.
If you change the person, you keep this pattern:
- Te gusta la posibilidad... = You like the possibility...
- Nos gusta la posibilidad... = We like the possibility...
The verb gustar agrees with the thing that is liked, not with the person.
- Here, the thing that is liked is la posibilidad (singular).
→ gusta (singular)
Me gusta la posibilidad...
If the subject were plural, you would use gustan:
- Me gustan las posibilidades de viajar a otro país.
I like the possibilities of traveling to another country.
