Questions & Answers about El restaurante es supercaro, pero me encanta.
Why is supercaro written as a single word instead of two?
Does the prefix super- change how the adjective agrees with the noun?
Why do we use es instead of está for being expensive? Isn't price something that can change?
Even though prices can fluctuate, being an expensive place is considered a defining, inherent characteristic of this specific restaurant, rather than a temporary state. Because it describes the restaurant's fundamental nature, we use the verb ser (es) rather than estar.
Why is it me encanta instead of yo encanto?
Encantar works exactly like the verb gustar. The literal meaning is closer to "it enchants me" or "it is highly pleasing to me." The grammatical subject of the verb is the restaurant (an implied "it"), which is why the verb is conjugated in the third-person singular (encanta), while me acts as the indirect object pronoun receiving that feeling.
