Answer 2

Te quiero con todo mi corazón. I love you with all my heart.

¡Me encanta esta falda! I just love this skirt!

"Me justo encanta" is not good Spanish, it doesn't make sense. It's just "me encanta". - Elcuba, Mar 4, 2012

Welcome to the forum.

Me gusta = I like / me gusta helado

Quiero = I want / quiero un milion de dólares.

Answer 4

quiero usually means to want something or i love someone or something, expresses with lots of emotion

use quiero like this: I want a new shirt, I love my husband

gusto usually means i like something, it also expresses a liking with less emotion

use gusto like this: I like that shirt, I like my friend
