¿Qué videojuegos te gustan?

Questions & Answers about ¿Qué videojuegos te gustan?

Why is it gustan with an "n" at the end instead of gusta?
Because the verb gustar works a little differently than "to like" in English. It actually means "to be pleasing to". The verb's ending has to match the things being liked. Since videojuegos (video games) is plural, you must use the plural verb gustan (they are pleasing).
What is the word te doing in this sentence?
te means "to you". Because gustar literally means "to be pleasing to", you need te to show who the video games are pleasing to. Together, te gustan translates to "you like", but it literally means "they are pleasing to you".
Why do we use qué (what) instead of cuáles (which) for plural video games?
In Spanish, when a question word comes immediately before a noun (like videojuegos), you almost always use qué—even if it translates to "which" in English. You would only use cuáles if you left out the noun, for example: ¿Cuáles te gustan? (Which ones do you like?).
Why is the word order ¿Qué videojuegos te gustan? instead of ¿Te gustan qué videojuegos?
Just like in English, the question phrase (Qué videojuegos / What video games) goes at the very beginning of the sentence. The pronoun and verb pair (te gustan) always stays glued together and follows right after the question phrase.
