"A ella no le gusta a mi"

Question

I know I should know this, but I'm not sure if I am right. How do you say "She doesn't like me" in Spanish. I would say "A ella no le gusta a mi" but I don't feel like this is right. It's these simple questions that make me feel like a beginner.

Answer 1

Remember that the gustar-like verbs form intransitive sentences (there is no direct object). You are trying to used the a mí as a direct object. The direct object of the English "like" sentence is the subject of the Spanish sentence (hence gusto). [the a mí object becomes the yo subject]

Heidita will scream, but perhaps to understand it, it should be written as:

A ella, no le gusto yo. (The yo only being there to show you what the subject of the verb is).

A ella no le gusta el libro.

jeje, the yo is actually helpful here, it would be said like this to give emphasis to the fact that she likes M E and not you! - 00494d19, Jan 9, 2011

This kind of interaction is priceless for English speaking natives trying to learn Spanish. - 0043ad50, Jan 9, 2011

Answer 2

Gustar gives a lot of people trouble.

My Spanish teacher explained it this way, and it helped me immensely. In Spanish, you do not like something. Something pleases you or it does not.

So instead of thinking "I don't like shrimp" you would think "Shrimp do not please me."

No me gustan los camarones.

Instead of thinking "She does not like me" you should think "I do not please her."

No le gusto (a ella).

Hi pesador, the question into the title please

have a look at the compilation of the verb gustar, look at my flashcards, you will see that the verbo gustar gets conjugated

A ella no le gusto.

No le gusto a ella.

Answer 4

A ella no le gusto yo.

I did this without looking at the other answers, and then checked, but what is the protocol for a situation like this where you want to try an authentic answer to get into the game but you (me) are always late?

Well the only protocol here is to watch the threads and answer when you see them. Since this one was not a game but rather a question then everyone is a winner. Besides, who said you were late, the last post was only 9 months ago:) - Yeser007, Oct 19, 2011

jeje,there is no protocol, tpender, just say what you wish to say, this answer is perfect - 00494d19, Oct 19, 2011

Answer 5

When you are unsure about how to use "gustar", try to form a sentence that means exactly the opposite with the English verb disgust (dis + gustar), which behaves exactly the same way:

I disgust her
