when using 'me encanta to mean i love it/him/her can one also use me with other conjigations of the verb e.g.me encantas and also could you say tu encanta to mean you love him/her/it?

Unlike gustar which is used intransitively, encantar is a transitive verb. The pronoun before the verb is a direct object pronoun so it should be lo, la, las, los, not le.

Me encanta él. He enchants me. (I love him). It's similar to gustar in the fact that the subject follows the verb and the object pronoun precedes it (not always, but commonly)

Me encantan los flores. The flowers enchant me. I love the flowers.

Los encantamos nosotros. We enchant them. They love us

Ella me encanta. She enchants me. I love her. The subject precedes the verb here.

Los flores me encantan. I love the flowers.

i just found out that you can say, 'le encanto' which i'm guessing would also mean i love him, so i gues you can say le encanta meaning he loves him/her/it

le encanto would mean he loves me (if it were correct) - 0074b507, Dec 11, 2009

benjahboy, you use "le encanto" when you are saying to a 3rd person that someone loves you. Then the translation for "le encanto" is "he loves me" smile

yes, you can use me with other verbs as well me gustas me apasionas me haces enojar me haces reir

but when you are talking to another person or if you're asking you may use instead of tu, TE , either for confirm a situation or to ask: te encanta te encanta? te gusta te gusta? etc.
