Need help with a Spanish Phrase!

Question

Just need help with one more spanish phrase which has been very difficult to me. I just need this clarified as translators are all saying this phrase in different meanings:

"Describe al que le gusta más."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

"Describe" can be either present tense indicative or it can be tú form imperative. That depends on the context.

If imperative: "Describe what he/she likes best". That's the most likely answer.

If indicative: He/she/you describes what he/she/you likes best. It's very vague as we don't know who is being referred to.

Seems like your translations are of "Describe lo que...". To me, the presence of "al" suggests "Describe him who...". - jtaniel, Jun 28, 2016

Great point. I agree. So we can omit the "she". It must be, "Describe what he likes best." - Goyo, Jun 29, 2016

Hola amigo. ¿Qué tal? - rac1, Jun 29, 2016

Answer 2

¿Cuántos muchachos le gustan a Adela?

"Describe al que le gusta más."

I agree with Goyo. But if this sentence immediately follows the other sentence in your other question, I think you might be able to narrow it to:

Describe which one is most pleasing to her- which one she likes best.

If they are not related sentences – then ignore this thought.

The two are surely related, and the description is of the best-liked muchacho. - jtaniel, Jun 28, 2016

Ay, Bosque. Only you would think of the "a" in "al" as being personal "a" ¡Impresionante! - Daniela2041, Jun 28, 2016
