Answer 1

Hola todos, Tengo una pregunta: quiero decir "no one likes" pero no sé como conjugarlo.

Intenta usar "disguast" en vez de "like": "No one likes something" -> "Something disgusts everybody". Y ahora di lo mismo en español: "A nadie le gusta una cosa".

I trust that Sabor is right. However, I did think that you would use a double negative: No le gustan a nadie. or A nadie no le gustan. Am I confused about this?

Forget about the "double-negative rule" in English. If words like "nada", "nadie" appear after the verb, "no" is compulsory for correct grammar. If those words appear before the verb, you can't use "no".

I knew that double negatives were not only acceptable in Spanish, but in cases required. The before/after the verb rule is what I was looking for. Thanks, Lazarus - DR1960, May 4, 2011

Answer 3

Así, ¿tienes que decir "a nadie le gusta"--- no es correcto sin el "a"?

Yes, you need the "a" in "a nadie". - Azabache, May 3, 2011
