Questions & Answers about Me gusta ver el amanecer.
Why do we use me gusta instead of yo gusto?
Unlike to like in English, gustar in Spanish literally means to be pleasing. The structure focuses on what pleases you rather than on you as the subject. So we say me gusta (it pleases me) instead of yo gusto.
Why do we say el amanecer and not something like la amanecer?
Amanecer is a masculine noun in Spanish, so it takes the masculine article el. In grammar references and dictionaries, you’ll see el amanecer classified as a masculine noun.
How do I pronounce amanecer correctly?
You can break it down as a-ma-ne-cer. The stress is on the -cer syllable: a-ma-ne-CER.
Why do we use ver instead of mirar?
Ver generally means to see and focuses on the act of perceiving something visually, while mirar means to look at and often implies paying attention or watching something more actively. In this sentence, ver el amanecer emphasizes experiencing the sunrise visually.
Can I say Me encanta ver el amanecer instead of Me gusta ver el amanecer?
Yes. Me encanta means I love (something really pleases me). It conveys a stronger emotion than me gusta (I like). Both forms are correct but differ in intensity.
