Questions & Answers about Mucho gusto, profesor.
What does mucho gusto literally mean?
Because we are talking to a profesor, would the rest of the conversation use tú or usted?
Is the phrase mucho gusto itself considered formal?
No, mucho gusto is a neutral, everyday phrase. It works perfectly here in a formal setting with your profesor, but you will also use it in casual settings when meeting a peer you plan to address as tú.
If a female student says this, does the phrase change to mucha gusta?
No, it is always mucho gusto regardless of who is speaking or who you are talking to. The word mucho must match the gender of gusto (pleasure), which is a masculine noun.
