Hi citlalli
WOW
Thanks so much!
It is suddenly starting to make some sense to me. LOL :-)
I needed to see these sentences next to each other to "get" the construction.
I'm not 100% there yet, but this little exercise has helped tremendously!!!!
Seeing these sentences together I can see the construction for a sentence using "caer bien" is the same as for using "gustar"
If I translate these sentences literally I get this sentence construction.
Keeping in mind that "le*" can mean, to him, to her , or to you (formal)
I am putting a * next to le to indicate that the meaning of le changes from one sentence to another.
Do you like me? (as a friend)-¿Te caigo bien?= To you I fall well?
Do you like me?( attracted to)-¿Te gusto?= to you I am pleasing?
She likes him.( as a friend)-(Él) le* cae bien. He to her* falls well.
She likes him. ( attracted to)-(Él) le* gusta. He to her is* pleasing.
He likes her.( as a friend)-(Ella) le* cae bien. Her to him* falls well
He likes her.( he is attracted to her)-(Ella) le* gusta. Her to him* is pleasing.

Actually this little exercise has also shed a lot of light on the use of "le", it is a very difficult concept for English speakers to "get".
I'm sure I'll be back for more clarification but I think I'm getting the idea, finally!!


THANK YOU AGAIN!!
SOOOO MUCH
BIG HUGS JOYCE

how would you say i love you, not in a proper way but in puerto rican slang. if that makes sense

Hi Joyce!

I'm very glad to hear the little exercise has helped What you wrote in your last post is completely correct (although the literal translation into english is so funny and weird that I had to pay a lot of attention when reading )

And well... you're welcome anytime

Kisses, Leyla.

Hi Leyla
Yeah I know the literal translation is VERY strange LOL
Sometimes I have to translate literally to see how a sentence in spanish is constructed. Spanish is a VERY different language!
I'm getting the idea but I'm not sure of how to say
I like you. (Attracted to)
I like you. ( as a friend)
I don't like you. ( attracted to)
I don't like you. ( as a friend)

Hugs Joyce

Hi! Hahaha...nooo, it's not too difficult, you just need to get used to it

I like you (attracted to)= me gustas
I like you (as a friend)= me caes bien
I don't like you (attracted to)= no me gustas
I don't like you (as a friend)= no me caes bien (ouch!!)

Cheers!

Oooopsss... I just noticed u said "different" not "difficult"... mmhhh... as a native speaker I can't judge on that maybe you're right

Thank you thank you !!!
Does me gustas tu also translate = I like you.
Like in the lyrics to this song by Manu Chao Me gustas tu

Me gustan los aviones, me gustas tu. I like airplanes, I like you( am attracted)
Me gusta viajar, me gustas tu.I like to travel, I like you
Me gusta la mañana, me gustas tu. I like the morning ,I like you
Me gusta el viento, me gustas tu. I like the wind, I like you
Me gusta soñar, me gustas tu. I like to dream , I like you
Me gusta la mar, me gustas tu. I like the sea, I like you
Big thanks Joyce

I don't think there is a ghetto Puerto Rican way to say I love you....it's as simple as 'Te amo' or 'estoy enamorada de ti' 'tu sabes que yo te amo' Stuff like that....

Yes, "me gustas tu" or "tu me gustas" is just a bit stronger (like saying I do like you)

Ohh, you made me blush

I'm glad I can help a bit and very happy to hear this is starting to become clear

@ todos

¿¿Cuándo uso " este " y cuándo uso " esto " ??

¿¿ Cuándo uso " el " y cuáando uso " ello " ??

@ citlalli : ¿¿ Qué significa " مُثَنَّى " en españoool .. ?? ¿ Tu sabes ?? .. Google no quiere ayudarme .. como de costumbre .. y yo lo necesito para enseñar algunas demás en " fos7ah "

مُثَنَّى = dual (¿sabes que no tenemos nada así en español?)

Ya bint... tal vez esto te sirva cuando google se rehuse a ayudarte:

7abibti... DeBaires ya te había explicado la diferencia entre 'el' y 'ello' ... ¿recuerdas?

Y con 'este' y 'esto' es muy parecido:

este+sustantivo (noun اسم):

Este libro es mio.
Me gusta este lugar.
Este auto es de mi papá.

esto:

Esto es mio.
No me gusta esto.
Esto no es de mi hijo.
