Questions & Answers about Me gusta aprender vocabulario nuevo cada día.

Why is it Me gusta aprender and not Yo gusto aprender?

In Spanish, gustar doesn’t work like “to like” in English. Instead of saying Yo gusto (I please), you say Me gusta (It pleases me). The structure is:
• Me (to me, indirect object pronoun)
• gusta (third-person singular of gustar)
• aprender… (the thing that pleases)

So literally it means “Learning … pleases me,” which we translate as “I like learning ….”

Why is aprender in the infinitive and not aprendo?

Here aprender acts as the subject of the verb gusta. When a verb functions as a noun or subject, Spanish uses the infinitive. So you’re not saying “I learn new vocabulary every day,” but “Learning new vocabulary every day pleases me.”

Why is it vocabulario nuevo and not nuevo vocabulario?

Spanish adjectives typically follow the noun. Placing nuevo after vocabulario is the neutral, standard order. You could say nuevo vocabulario, but then you’re using nuevo more as a stylistic emphasis (“brand-new vocabulary”).

Why do we say cada día instead of cada los días?
