From Lesson 169:Adverbs of manner (-mente)·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about ¡Me encantan los masajes!

Why does encantan end with an 'n' if I am the one who loves them?
Verbs like encantar (to love/be enchanting) and gustar (to like/be pleasing) work backward compared to English. The thing you love is actually the subject of the sentence. Since los masajes (massages) is plural, the verb must be plural too, which gives us encantan.
Why do we need 'los' before 'masajes'? In English we just say 'I love massages'.
In Spanish, when you talk about a general category of things you like, love, or hate, you must use the definite article (el, la, los, or las). So, 'massages in general' must be translated as los masajes.
Could I say 'Yo encanto los masajes' instead?
No, because that would literally mean 'I enchant the massages'! Because encantar works exactly like gustar, you have to use the indirect object pronoun me (to me) to show who is receiving the feeling. The massages are enchanting to you.
