Questions & Answers about Su hermana también me cae bien; es trabajadora y bastante modesta.
Caer bien is a very common Spanish expression meaning to like someone / to find someone likable / to get a good impression of someone.
So Su hermana me cae bien means that the speaker likes the sister as a person.
A useful contrast:
- Me gusta su hermana = I like his/her/your sister
- This can be neutral, but it can also sound more like attraction depending on context.
- Su hermana me cae bien = I like his/her/your sister; she seems nice to me
- This is clearly about personality and your impression of her.
Because the structure is:
- alguien le cae bien a alguien
Literally, it works something like someone falls well to someone, but that literal meaning is not how you should understand it. The important thing is:
- me = to me
- te = to you
- le = to him/her/you
- nos = to us
- os = to you all (common in Spain)
- les = to them/you all
So:
- Me cae bien = I like him/her
- Te cae bien = You like him/her
- Nos cae bien = We like him/her
In the sentence, Su hermana is the person who is liked, and me shows who likes her.
