Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

Default Lost in Translation

I just recently started working at a Mexican Restaurant and I am loving it (I am white). I am learning spanish from one of the workers while I am teaching him better english. So, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to say "I like you" in spanish. Not just like, but "like-like." Muchos gracias :)

*Muchas Gracias ;) ("gracias" is female)

I assume that when you say "I like you" you are referring to physical aspect. In that case, as you can imagine, there are several ways. The straight forward one being "Me gustas" and "Me gustas mucho" (I like you very much).

Gustar is the translation for like, but it is a difficult verb for english-speakers (I guess) because it has a reverse meaning:

If I like you in English, then you "me gustas" in Spanish.

Hope this helps.
