Me gusta mucho tu jersey.

Me gusta mucho tu jersey.
I like your sweater a lot.
From Lesson 66:Wardrobe Essentials·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about Me gusta mucho tu jersey.

Why is it Me gusta instead of a word for I, like yo?
In Spanish, the verb gustar works differently than the English verb to like. It actually means to be pleasing. So, instead of saying I like your sweater, you are literally saying Your sweater is pleasing to me. Me means to me and gusta means it is pleasing.
Why does tu not have an accent mark in this sentence?
Tu without an accent mark means your, as in tu jersey (your sweater). It only gets an accent mark (tú) when it is the pronoun meaning you, like in the phrase tú hablas (you speak).
Why do we use mucho here instead of muy?
Mucho means a lot, and it is used to describe an action verb (how much you like something). Muy means very, and you only use it right before describing words, like if you wanted to say the sweater is very big (muy grande).
Can I put mucho before the verb and say Me mucho gusta tu jersey?
No, you cannot put extra words between the pronoun (me) and the verb (gusta). Words like mucho that tell us how much an action happens usually go right after the verb in Spanish, so it must be Me gusta mucho.
I have heard the word suéter before. Is jersey a different piece of clothing?
They mean the same thing! Jersey is the most common word for a sweater in Spain. In Latin American countries, you will more often hear suéter or other regional words.
