Let’s see what me gusta in Spanish means, and how to use it with examples.
To recapitulate, me, te, le, nos, os, and les are indirect object pronouns, and the item a person likes (libro, película, etc.) is the subject of the sentence. Because of that, the verb (gustar) must match the subject in number:
- Me gusta el libro. (I like the book./Or the literal translation: The book pleases me.)
- Me gustan los libros. (I like books.
- Nos gusta el libro. (We like the book.)
- Nos gustan los libros. (We like the books.)
- No te gusta nada. (You don’t like anything./Nothing pleases you.) (Learn more about how to use nada in Spanish.)
- No les gusta nada. (They don’t like anything./Nothing pleases them.)
As you can see, the Spanish verb gustar ONLY changes its form (gusta/gustan) according to the number (singular/plural) of liked objects, and NOT according to the pronoun (me/nos). Because of that, we use gusta for singular and gustan for plural.

The Spanish verb gustar is usually translated in English as “to like”: Me gusta el libro (I like the book.) But the verb has a slightly different meaning in Spanish: it’s more about what pleases a person rather than what a person likes.

In English, we would say “She likes the movie.” In Spanish, we translate that as Le gusta la película. A literal translation would be: Le (to her/him) gusta (is pleasing) la (the) película (movie). The subject of the sentence is different in both languages: in English, the subject is the person; while in Spanish, the subject is the movie (or the book in the first example.) Because of that, the Spanish verb gustar needs an indirect object pronoun:
- Me (to me)
- Te (to you, singular)
- Le (to him, to her)
- Nos (to us)
- Os (to you, plural)
- Les (to them)
