Questions & Answers about Es lógico que no te guste. De todas formas, es grosero.
Why is de todas formas placed at the beginning of the second sentence, but translates to "anyway" at the end of the English sentence?
Why is the verb guste instead of gusta?
The phrase es lógico que (it is logical that) expresses an opinion or a value judgment. In Spanish, impersonal expressions like this always trigger the subjunctive mood for the following verb, which is why we use guste.
The English translation says "you don't like him." Where is the "him" in no te guste?
Verbs like gustar work backward compared to English. The person being liked is actually the subject of the sentence, so it literally translates to "that he is not pleasing to you." The "he" is simply dropped here because it is understood from context. If you needed to clarify, you could say que él no te guste.
Does grosero mean "gross"?
No, grosero is a false friend! It means "rude," "impolite," or "vulgar." If you want to say something is physically gross or disgusting, you would use a word like asqueroso.
