Please help me with “Me encanta tu cards”. I understand “Me Gusta” as it pleases me. However I have difficulty applying this to “It loves (encanta)

Hi Johan

You musn't think of encanta as a literal translation. With verbs like gustar, encantar, interesar,...the subject is whatever is liked, and the person who likes something would be an indirect object. So, like Alan was saying before, you could think of it as "something enchants someone", for example:

"Me encanta el fútbol" or "El fútbol me encanta" (although it is more common the first order)

"Football enchants me". If you ask someone whether they like something, you could say:

"¿Te gusta el deporte?" (Do you like sports [Do sports please you?])

and a possible answer could be:

"Si. Me encanta el tenis" (Yes. I like tennis [Tennis enchants me.])

Here is the promised lesson

Hola Johan

"Me encanta" works exactly the same way "Me gusta" does. You can say:

• Me gusta tu casa (I like your house) or 
• Me encanta tu casa ( I love your house) 

If what you like or you love is plural, then it goes:

• Me gustan tus pantalones (I like your trousers)
• Me encantan tus pantalones  (I love your trousers)

So, it is still the same structure for both.

We have a lesson coming out about "encantar". We will keep you posted.

Hope this helps meanwhile.
