Me duele = my --insert body part- hurts.
For example: Me duelen las piernas = my legs hurt Me duele la boca = my nose hurts

I know but you don't say in English, "My feet hurt me." You say, "My feet hurt." The me is implied in English
Actually, some of us do say that. Furthermore, I wonder is there any English speaker who would say "My feet are killing." rather than "My feet are killing me."?

But then we would also say "My feet are hurting me" too. - ian-hill, Nov 1, 2011
Sorry- killing is a different verb than hurting. And while it *is* sometimes said, "my feet hurt me* - that useage is not the norm. And you know that! - Goyo, Nov 1, 2011

me duelen las piernas, me duelen los ojos, me duelen los dientes, me duelen las manos, etc. It is used only when talking about more than one part of your body. Me duelen, is plural. Me duele, is singular.

Me duelen los zapatos o el vestido estrecho. Why must it be body parts? - 0074b507, Nov 1, 2011
Your shoes don't feel pain, te duelen los pies porque tus zapatos son estrechos. - kenwilliams, Nov 1, 2011

gustar like verb. The sentence is intransitive with me being an i.o.p. or the one effected by the verb. - 0074b507, Nov 1, 2011
