Is gusto a real word?

Question

Ok, I was answering a question about how to say "I like" (me gusta) and I decided to look up gustar on the conjugation section of spanishdict.com. I was always taught that you can only say gusta or gustan, but on this website it lists/ all conjugations like gusto, gustamos, gustais, and gustas. Is there another time that you would use these or is that an error by spanishdict.com

Edit: Then can you explain how and when you would use the normal conjugations of gustar. (examples please)

Answer 1

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Yes it is a real word, it means flavor, taste, pleasure. "Mucho gusto" is a common response to meeting someone new, meaning gladly, or, much pleasure.

You haven't yet understood the idea. I suggest you go back and read all answers. "Gusto" is a real word, and the verb works like dozens of other verbs in English. Just get your head around it!

P.D. I am a Spanish teacher, and I have used "gusto" thousands of times in my life, like everyone else.

Thanks for the help, but I realize that I don't understand it. Thats why I'm here. I don't think anyone in the world completely understands any language. - dillon13, May 26, 2011

Please refer to my previous post, where you have 5 verbs that behave like "gustar", but in English. - lazarus1907, May 26, 2011

No, error. Gustar can be conjugated just as any other verb. The rule that you were taught covers many common situations, but not all.

Also gusto can be a noun so the word definitely exists.
