I'm learning Spanish...They are saying "I want to eat...." Me gusta (? ) comer But they're putting a small word or sound after gusta , before comer. What is it?

Possibly, what you are hearing is "Me gustaría comer...." (I would like to eat ...")

It can be "Mucho": "Me gusta mucho comer paella"

I want = quiero

I like = me gusta

BTW

EDIT:

@nike907

Me gusto = I like myself

Me gustó = I liked it

una (letra) o

Yes... what NickDan said.

And to add a little more insight:

If you think about it, you aren't really DOING the eating at the time you are saying this sentence. What you are DOING is "liking", or "wanting", or "needing" to eat.

So... you conjugate the action verb... the verb you are DOING, and you leave the second verb in it's infinitive form:

Quiero comer. I want (to eat).

Necesito comer. I need (to eat).

Me gusta dormir. I like (to sleep). -or- (To sleep) is pleasing to me.

Necesitamos dormir. We need (to sleep).

Etc.

If you want to say ""I want to eat" then the Spanish is: "Quiero comer"

If you want to say "I like to eat" then it's "Me gusta comer"

You don't need anything between the "gusta" and the "comer".
