Answer 1

Me disgusta la leche. I dislike milk, I hate milk, or milk is displeasing to me.

"Disgustar" and "to disgust" are definitely related, but "to disgust" has much worse connotations than the Spanish counterpart, where it mainly means "to cause uneasiness".

Answer 2

To answer your question:

No me gusta la leche. I don't like milk, or milk is not pleasing to me.

Me disgusta la leche. I dislike milk, I hate milk, or milk is displeasing to me.

Kinda the same, but like oliviaespano said, it may depend on the context when choosing which to use.

Answer 3

Here is the link to Disgustar meanings from our dictionary:

http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/disgustar

When using it, it follows the verb gustar in the way it has to have the pronouns Me/Te/Le/Nos/Os/Les before the relevant conjugated verb forms, example:

Me disgusta, Te disgusta etc

To me, the meanings of this verb depends on the context you use it in

Answer 4

Yes it works either way to say disgusta sounds a bit to formal to me but i use both.
