Question

What is an example of "dativo de interés?"

Answer 1

Very good site to look up "superfluous datives"

Dativos superfluos

VERY informative link. I'll have to read it a few hundred times to understand it. The contrast between a XXX and para XXX answers some question in a previous thread . Thank you for the link. - 0074b507, Oct 30, 2009

Answer 2

I found this on wikipedia:

A number of verbs in Spanish employ a dative construction. Many of these verbs express psychological states; the most common one is gustar, which is equivalent to English like (but syntactically functions like be pleasant to). The verb agrees with the syntactic subject, but the subject is usually placed after the verb instead of before, as usual. The dative construction requires a proclitic pronoun; if the dative argument is a full noun phrase or needs to be explicitly stated, it is shown by a phrase with the preposition a.

Examples:

Me gusta el verano. ("I like the summer")
A mí me gusta más la primavera. (I like the spring better)
A Juan le gustan las rubias. ("Juan likes blondes")
