To say “I don’t like” in Spanish, you would say “No me gusta.” This phrase is commonly used to express dislike for something.
Here’s a breakdown of the phrase:
- No – This means “no” or “not.”
- me – This is a reflexive pronoun that means “me” or “to me.”
- gusta – This is the third person singular form of the verb “gustar,” which means “to like.”
So, when you put it all together, “No me gusta” literally translates to “It is not pleasing to me,” but it is understood as “I don’t like.”
For example:
- No me gusta el café. (I don’t like coffee.)
- No me gusta correr. (I don’t like running.)
This phrase is very useful in everyday conversations and can be used to express your preferences clearly.
