Exclamatory amounts (¡lo que...!)

To express astonishment at how much someone does something, use ¡lo que followed by a verb.

How much your sister gossips!
¡Lo que cotillea tu hermana!
How much that man gobbles!
¡Lo que engulle ese hombre!
How much those boys show off!
¡Lo que presumen esos chicos!

You can easily add objects or subjects after the verb.

How much you spend on these pieces of junk!
¡Lo que gastas en estos trastos!

¡Lo que desordena este niño!

With verbs like gustar, the indirect object pronoun sits between ¡lo que and the verb.
