Answer 2

I asked another friend, he told me the correct version is

A mí me molestas. This means I bother you.

Cuz it´s like gustar type.

When you friend was telling you that, perhaps he was talking from his perspective. If you said "Me molestas" to him, he'd tell you that you said "I (Joe Shmoe) bother you". I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I think he responded from his perspective. - Goldie_Miel, Dec 20, 2011

Answer 3

So, I bother you , the full version is

A tí te molesto, right?

Te molesto is the full version. Adding the "a ti" puts extra emphasis in sentence. It's like saying, "I bother Y O U!" - webdunce, Dec 20, 2011

I think she means the "long (emphasized) version", but anywho...Yes, zhmelissa, you got it :o) - Goldie_Miel, Dec 20, 2011

Answer 4

I asked another friend, he told me the correct version is

A mí me molestas. This means I bother you.

A mí me molestas means you bother me.

Usually one wouldn't need to say A mí unless there was a need for emphasis on yourself.

Se puede escribir así - (A mí) me molestas.

Answer 5

Are you sure? I read about it that molestar is like gustar type of word. So I am confused, don't

know how to say now.

I don't know what they mean it is like gustar. I would need to see what they said exactly. It could be, in a way, but mostly it's not. - webdunce, Dec 20, 2011

The only similarity that I can think of is that both verbs are frequently used in singular third person. - webdunce, Dec 20, 2011
