Hi,
I want to use the subjunctive, and I was wondering if this was a correct sentence,
"Busco alguien que le gusten elefantes morados" (I look for someone that likes purple elephants.)
Thanks!

Are you sure about this construction? - sinsonte, Jun 2, 2012
Would it be 'Busco a alguien que le gusten los elefantes morados' - sinsonte, Jun 2, 2012
I think sinsonte is correct. - PumpkinCalabaza, Jun 2, 2012
The personal "a" is not necessary here because "alguien" can be anyone at all, so at this point in time no personal relationship has been established - 005faa61, Jun 2, 2012
We could also use "quien," but "que" is more natural, right? - GuitarWarrior, Jun 3, 2012
If you want to use "quien" you have to say something like "Busco persona a quien les gusten ........." - 005faa61, Jun 3, 2012
