Verbs Like Gustar

- This week's Spanish Quickie is a bit different. You'll still learn some vocab and grammar--it's just a little more theoretical than normal.
In order to understand why "me gusta" is so weird (it's how you say "I like"--not "gusto") -- you first have to understand how the dictionary works.
That might sound silly to you. But to be completely honest, I didn't know until very recently.
I wish somebody taught me this a long time ago. It woulda saved me tons of time, energy and embarassing moments.
But my pain, is your gain.
Let me know if you have any questions. This video took me longer than normal to make. I rewrote it three times!

It helps to think of "gustar" as the opposite of "disgustar," or the English "to disgust." I've found it easy to remember because of the negative prefix. You don't disgust a piece of moldy bread, but the bread disgusts you, so you are disgusted by it. Basically all gustar is.
+Henry Eugene DoubleHockeySticks That's excellent!!! Thank you, I'll use that in the future.
EXCEPT that it uses the indirect object pronoun
That’s actually perfect for me, I’ve been using the verb _bore_ but this works better.
@@renee901fulable No, it's the same thing. The moldy bread doesn't literally disgust you, it is disgusting TO you. Therefore it still uses an IOP.
@@elspanishdude I found this video very helpful, but I have a question: When using the verb gustar, why does the subject (the thing that is pleasing) go after the conjugated form of gustar and not before? For example, why does "comer" go after "gusta" in "Me gusta comer" if "comer" is the subject that is pleasing? Why isn't it "Comer me gusta."? Again, thanks for these videos!
Hi Jordan. I'm a Spanish teacher in rural north Florida. I love showing your videos to my class. It serves as a reinforcement of what I go over with them. I love your no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point approach. I know you didn't do well in high school, but I love how your journey to learning Spanish has transpired. It's very inspiring!
Thank god this saved me from having to ask my teacher what to do, just to hear "You should have been listening in class!"
The absolute best description of gustar! I have searched high and low for the reasoning behind it's usage. Finally got it and now I get it!
Physics Nerds Unite!
Speed is a scalar quantity with just magnitude. Velocity is a vector with both a magnitude and direction.
🤓
This is exactly what I was looking for in the comments as both cochlea were melting. :D
Basic knowledge
I really love your teaching style. it's effective and refreshing. thanks so much for all your great work
Dude. You totally nailed it! Even my MSc novia mexicana could not explain it as well as that!
+Alex Hall Awesome! Glad I could help! This had me confused for quite a while. Thanks for the message!
Seriously! What a difference
Thank you SO much! I have been studying Spanish for quite sometime now and it seems you just can't find explanations for some of these things anywhere! You are unlocking all the riddles of the language! Estoy mucha agradecida! 😁
I am so happy I happened upon your videos this morning. If I could have stayed home from work, I would have listened to you all day. But as it was, I listened to about 4 hours of your videos and figured out so many things that had been lost to me. I am traveling to Peru in 7 months to teach how to crochet in a community center. If only you had a video about ganchillo. You are a remarkable teacher. Thanks for sharing your skills.
This is the best and the perfect explanation that I have watched among all the sources that I've encountered instead of clearing out the confusion ironically, it makes me more confused but this one really nailed it. Especially to the part of the Aburrir that I don't really find it similar like the gustar and encantar. Thank you for your perfect explanation
your videos are the only thing that makes sense to me. I'm in an intensive first year course in university for spanish, we learn over 30 new words a week and it's quite daunting then I found your videos and it really brings the theory clarity!
I am on my second online college Spanish course. The teachers are not terribly supportive, and the text is often really confusing. I honestly don't know how I would've made it this far with out your help. Seeing your face is a relief. Thank you!
thanks for the amazing videos, I used them a lot when I started with Spanish. now my mother is learning Spanish and I'm showing her these videos because they helped me truly understand many things that I was struggling with in Spanish :)
Your videos are amazing. Please please please don't stop making these videos. They've helped me so much!
+adis bajraktarevic Thank you! I'm glad they help you! I'm not going anywhere. Just getting started!
OK so right here, you place yourself head and shoulders above so many others, because you got to the bottom of the dictionary fallacy. Superb. A cool tranquil pond of clear thinking in a frantic world of clumsy non-functional approximations. Thank you so much!
Wow! you are exactly what i need to learn spanish. Its like getting the low down on the inside. It is pleasing to me a lot. See I understand it already Take care buddy.
I like the way you get straight to the point or idea!
i have been learning spanish for almost 6 years and not once have i been able to understand gustar until now! my life is changed XD
i'm learning lots of your videos !! hope you make a lot more !
this video helped me to understood the verb gustar I had issue with for longtime. Thank you for the video
Easily the best video/post on this topic I've seen yet. Wish I came across it first.
When it was difficult to understand certain aspects of using Spanish, I looked for more ways for the language to be explained. El Gringo made it fun to understand the explanation of his message,
This is the best CZcams channel for learning Spanish I've ever seen. Many thanks, Jason! Excellent work!
+lA d Thank you! I appreciate that! But my name's Jordan =) No hard feelings.
Sorry, Jordan! I don't know where I got the name Jason! Once again thanks for this excellent channel.
Oh. my. word.
why didn't I find you years ago!? This finally clicked - thank you!
Finally! Someone has been able to explain it to me well. Gracias SpanishDude!
Jordan, you really teach well!! I can't believe how much time you save me! Thanks!
I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks!
This was really helpful, none on my instructors explained it like this
It's difficult, but you explained it so well! Thank you!
I cannot tell you how long it has been that I have been looking for a proper explanation for the use of Gustar. Right after you explain it to mean "to be pleasing to" it all clicked at 5:13 where I stopped the video and began slow clapping that I FINALLY understand how to tell a girl "Me gustas" = You're pleasing to me; and not have my brain in a tangled mess. Gracias Jordan! Muchísimas gracias mi querido amigo!!
This video is pleasing to me, Jordan :-D
Todos los días por tres meses este asunto ha estado haciendome loco. Finalmente tengo el correcto manera para entender. ¡Muchas Gracias! Y vídeo perfecto.
This was so helpful. These videos are awesome.
super helpful, love all your videos! Or rather, your videos enchant me ;)
FINALLY I get the perplexing me gusta thing! Thank you!!!
you cleared up a lot of confusion thanks!!!
You're awesome. Thanks so much for your help!!
about 4 years ago i firstly became contact with spanish and met this barrier... and never understood those indirect direct object pronouns... especially this word gustar.
but today is the day that i clearly understood this concept and completely get rid of this barrier
sincerely appreciating your great video!
Yay! I have a spanish review presentation on this subject, im just going to play this video hahaah, you have saved me
India Riedel Nice! Great timing. Good luck!
Helpful video!
Velocity is speed in a direction so it is relative to a position and so it can be a negative value. Speed is the absolute value of velocity. It is speed without a direction and so it is always positive. Both are a rate of distance traveled over a period of time.
ChancePance Gracias amigo! So when you're going backward velocity is negative? But speed is always positive?
Gringo Español Correct. Acceleration works the same way. As long as they object is moving back toward a previously occupied position on the same vector path, both the velocity and the acceleration would be negative, and the speed would be positive as you can't have a negative speed. That would be like having a negative distance.
Thanks for all of the great videos!
@@elspanishdude Also, speed in Spanish is celeridad: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeridad.
I feel like I just won the lottery; I stumbled upon your channel and it's my lucky day!
Awesome! Such a big help to my online Spanish class!
good stuff homie, gotta love seein a youngin on the come up
love your videos, thank you!
I refuse to learn from anybody who isn’t this guy
Your work is brilliant
Jordan, I am starting to teach Spanish which is my first language and your videos are the absolute best. Concise, clear, to the point, funny, relatable. Me fascinan tus videos y tu manera de explicar!!
Do you or anyone know a song that has lots of these "me gusta" type of verbs that IS NOT "Me gustas tu" by Manu Chau? I love that song, but it only uses me gusta, me gustas or me gustan.. I would love to find a song that has, me encanta, me importa, me molesta, me aburre, me duele, me parece, me preocupa... etc?
Mil gracias!!
You lessons are brilliant
Thank you so much. It's simple to learn gustar, but it's forever a grey area of complexity within its simplicity, if that makes sense. So pleased with your explanation.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much!! this is soooooooooooooooooooo helpful : D
woah! me encantan tus videos! me ayudan a mejorar en el inglés y tener en cuenta también la conjugación de España jeje
En el 4:17 "La velocidad de la coche" debería ser "La velocidad del coche" coche es un sustantivo masculino "el coche" :)
Andi Bleu Gracias! Por el complemento y la corrección! Qué error! Gracias =)
Gringo Español de nada!
very helpful video. Velocity is pretty much speed+direction (useful in physics, not often used colloquially), where as speed is just how fast. there are exact definitions available online
Inspiring! Thanks a lot!
Thanks a million for these videos. They are helping me a lot in learning Spanish. This may not mean much for this video, but coming from an engineering background and to share some physics knowledge with you guys, the difference between Velocity and Speed is Velocity is a "vector quantity" meaning it has both magnitude and direction while Speed only has Magnitude. So while they might have the same units (m/sec for example) when Velocity of an object = 100 m/sec it mean velocity has a magnitude of 100 in a particular direction (whatever that direction is) but when Speed of and object = 100 m/sec it means the speed has a magnitude of 100 and but does not take into account the direction. That's probably why Momentum = mass x velocity (and not mass x speed) because moving objects have momentum, but however only have it in the particular direction they are moving in.... i think lol..
But again, keep up the good work and thanks again for the help.
Saludos desde Trinidad y Tobago!!
I was racking my brain for this exact thing, Why Gusta not Gusto. Thanks for the help.
Hola. Thanks for your video, really helped me understand because I didn't have a clue in spanish class. I watch your youtube vids all the time but how can I watch them in order of learning as sometimes Im watching something that as way beyond me! Thanks
Fantastico nunca me entendi el verbo gustarse antes - gracias
Your an excellent teacher
JJEJEJEJE HELLO MY ENGLISH FRIEND! THIS HELPS ME TO MAKE UNDERSTAND TO MY FOREIGNERS STUDENT :'')
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING Y SALUDOS DESDE COLOMBIA!
This was so helpful for me. There are a lot of these "translations" that I wish the teachers and programs would stop using because it causes confusion.
Totally. Some of them are very harmful to how we think.
Very nice explanation :D
Great teaching!
Me Gusta this video! Gracias!
Well explained. Thank
great video as always, are there many words in Spanish used like Gustar and can you give us a few examples....... por favor y gracias
When my housemates wake me up at night, I play this intro and outro on full volume early in the morning because it's so abnoxious
Oh, and speed versus velocity? Speed is a "scalar" - you just need a single number to define it - the number of miles (eg) you travel in some time (an hour), for example.
Velocity is a vctor - you need two numbers to define it - a speed (mph) and a direction (North). So - consider 2 cars. One driving 10mph North and the other 10 mph South. Both have the same speed (10 mph) but they have differewnt velocities as their directions are different. Just in case anyone cares.
Just FYI, the difference between speed and velocity in English is that speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector. That means is that velocity can be negative, but speed cannot. There is a little more to it than that but that but that should suffice for a CZcams comment.
You have saved my 17 year old life. Thank you so much. I was almost going to give up learning Spanish but your videos are so amazing, & I'm learning things that someone would usually have to take a class to learn. Thank you so so so much. What you are doing here is amazing & your channel is way underrated. Also, are you the same person as Señor Jordan? Again thanks so much omg.
Valiant DJ Hahahahaha. I'm so glad I saved your 17 year old life!! Thanks for this message!!! I love reading stuff like this. I'm so glad my videos helped you. I am not the same as Senor Jordan -- but I'm a big fan of his and I think our videos are different and complementary. So keep watching his videos and mine =) Thanks for such a great message. Please tell me if there's anything specific you need help with.
Gringo Español I didn't realize we were twins! ;-)
Senor Jordan And with that interaction, the world has seen the very first interaction of the two Gringo Jordan Spanish teachers that wear colorful shirts! Amazing the coincidence. I'm a big fan. I'll be messaging you shortly =)
Ok, sounds good!
You guys should do a collab video on tocayos!
Good job!
Excellent!
I like it . thanks. very clear
cris bak My pleasure Cris.
hella helpful! thanks!
You're welcome!
YES! I show my students aburrir/gustar/interesar together, but I point out that in English, we use interesar and aburrir the same way! Gustar is the only weirdo!
awesome videos, love the series. Will be a forever gringo very soon. I don't know if you noticed, but the music with the graphics was edited in at a much higher volume than the content of the lesson, so it's quite shocking when it comes on!
+Senor Farrell I'll take a look at that for sure! I'm glad you like the videos!
Wow! Thanks 🤩🙏
I both gusta and encanta your videos :)
helped so much!
Thanks for this! This is why it's important to learn the "Super Literal Translation". This is the same format as Russian and so to me it makes immediate sense now. However, now I know why I kept confusing my friends with, "Te gustas?" jajaja I was still trying to conjugate gustar like a regular -AR verb :)
I love that, the "super literal translation". It's so important!
You are awesome Joran. nos encanta.
Oops, I meant me te amamos, although you are still enchanting to us. LOL
Also, 'Me llamo Jordan' is actually 'I call my self Jordan'
Ola! When will you make videos on vocabularies? cognates? tip?
gracias
Thank youuu!
Thank you again.
Favourite Spanish teacher ever
Please tell meaning of barrio
Wow! I had a professional spanish teacher make this soooo confusing (charts and everything). He cut right through all that. "It's a translation issue, nothing more." :-)
Hello. Does anyone have a list of these verbs that are like gustar?? I understand the concept and how these words work, but I don't know which verbs they apply to. Does anyone have a list?
Speed is what is refereed to as a "scalar." that means is defines an objects motion with a number. Ie, 45 mph. But velocity is speed and direction. So it 45 mpb North.
Nice!!
"i dont know, but I DONT LIKE IT" this is me while learning every spanish thing. thank u
Deberías hablar de cómo formular preguntas (Wh-questions).
+Sonia Garcia MUY FACIL ESE TEMA.. CASI SIEMPRE SE USA EN PRENSETE SIMPLE.
Okay, I have a question, how do they teach the difference between speed and velocity in Spanish speaking countries?
Thank you. Do you maybe got a name for these kind of verbs, preferably in Spanish. So i can just memories them. Anyway thanks allot, 2 hours and 20 videos later i finally got it.
If we take physics into account then "speed" means "velocity" (as the formula for both of them is distance/time) and "velocity" means "rapidez"
But of course that usually doesn't matter
+carolina potterhead thanks. i was wondering how that worked. seems like it would cause a bunch of issues if both speed and velocity had the same word. =)
IN PHYSICS SPEED HAS NO DIRECTION BUT VELOCITY DOES - THEY CALL IT A VECTOR - I WAS DOING 70 IS SPEED - I WAS DOING 70 GOING NORTH - OR TO THE STORE - IS VELOCITY - FINE POINT - ALL CAPS IS 'CUZ I HAV LO VISION - NOT 4 ANGER ....
Great video it really helps a lot! I've just one question: if I want to say I like her should i say Ella me gusta of could I say me le gusta or me la gusta a ella?
Ella me gusta
THANK YOU!
Hola Jordan! When is it correct to use gusto, gustas, gustamos, and gustáis. Also, when do you use 'me' or 'a mi"? Muchos gracias!
i'm pleased by this video, if i may
Ryan Abbas Hahahaahh. Yes, you may. Thanks!
Your into song is awsome!!
Alejandro Rodriguez Thank you!!! Yeah, I want get your heart pounding a little before we start talking grammar =)
I lowkey think its cringy my guy
La velocidad de LA coche hahaha xD
The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity includes direction.
in spanish though speed also includes direction, they just don't know which direction.
