Encantar, Gustar,etc. With pronouns

Hola todos, I have a question regarding the placement of direct pronouns with encantar, gustar etc. Those verbs that are used in the third person with the indirect object pronoun. If someone were to say:" me encanta éste sitio", and I wanted to reply : I love" it" too using a pronoun rather than "sitio" Would that be ? " me encanta lo tambien "or "me lo encanta tambien. I know the indirect object is placed before the direct object, and the reflexive proceeds the indirect, but I'm unsure about the use of the pronoun construction with these verbs. Gracias, Rich

Hola Rich Using the example above you could reply to the expression "Me encanta este sitio" using the following: A mi tambien...me tooo A mi tambien me encanta....i love it too A mi tambien me encanta este sitio....i love this place too Pienso igual que tu!...I think the same as you Estoy de acuerdo contigo!...I agree with you! And for the word "sitio" you could use : Lugar, locacion... ;) Espero haberte ayudado. si necesitas mas ayuda, hazmelo saber! I hope this helped you. If you need anymore help , just let me know! saludos desde México amigo!

I believe that "Me lo encanta también" is right. And "A mi también me lo encanta." Since Cristian hasn't actually answered the question about the pronoun lo, I'd also be interested to hear the answer.

Hola "Me lo encanta tambien" and "A mi tambien me lo encanta" im almost 100% sure are not correct, the "lo" in the expression make it sound weird...the "lo" can be use in another way, such in "lo que a mi me gusta" or "lo que ami me encanta"...(that which i like or love). And about te pronouns, well these 2 verbs (gustar and encantar) are little bit tricky to conjugate the direct pronouns in spanish are me...encanta.....gusta te....encanta.....gusta lo....encanta.....gusta la....encanta.....gusta los....encantan....gustan las....encantan.....gustan nos....encantan....gustan here is an example that i hope can help: http://users.ipfw.edu/jehle/courses/verbs/gustar.htm and for "encantar" you can use this one http://users.ipfw.edu/jehle/courses/verbs/encantar.htm saludos

Raymot y Cristian, Ésta discusión fue muy útil para mi. Muchas gracias amigos por su ayuda. ¡Que tengan ustedes y todos en el foro buen día de Accíon de Gracias! Saludos, Rich

Thanks. I now agree with cristian. "gustar", "encantar" only take one object. In "me encanta éste sitio", 'este sitio" is the subject, and 'me' is the object - "It is pleasing to me". Thus the transformation would be "Este me gusta", "El me gusta". And the subject pronoun would normally dropped, as in: "He visto tu sitio. Me gusta." [I think I'm right this time!]

Raymot, ¡Que bueno! Tu y Cristian han encendido la luz. ¡Ya veo! Gracias, Rich

Hola a todos! @Rich, Im glad this was usefull! @Raymont! you got it right this time!! perfect! Are you sure you are not mexican or something, you spanish is very good and above all you dont "learn spanish" you "understand or try to understand it" and try to reason what you are learning! congrats!!... If you need anymore help , just let me know!...and "Feliz dia de accion de gracias" (Happy thanksgiving day)...i cant wait to get my hands on that turkey! (yes , eventough my family is mexican we do eat turkey in november! haha. saludos desde Mexico!

I just read my comment above and felt it was not clear enough hahhaa...Im Mexican, and live in Tijuana, Baja California...since we leave so close to the USA some of our celebrations are a mixture between Mexico and USA. Obviously 90% of our celebrations are Mexican, but , when i was little i used to buy customes and pick up some candy during Halloween, and , for example this next thursday all of my family will get together to eat some turkey, ham, and smashed potatoes...(mixed with some mexican food also haha). Bueno, me despido, si necesitan algo mas, haganmelo saber! buen dia!

Gracias Cristian. No, no soy mexicano ni siquiera uruguyano. Soy australiano. Pensé qué todo la gente apprenda una lengua para intenderla. Pero, me gusta la grammática - tal vez eso hace una diferencia?

Hola Raymot, Tengo una pregunta. ¿ De donde descubriste la información acerca de los verbos gustar y encantar con el objeto? ¿ En la computadora o en un libro? Otra vez gracias por tu ayuda. Si he cometido errores, corrige me por favor. Buenos, Rich

The form of "gustar" is basic grammar. You can find this in any Spanish Grammar book, or on the web. Here's one: (There are hundreds) http://spanish.about.com/od/usingparticularverbs/a/gustar.htm

Gracias por tu respuesta. I am familiar with gustar and that site. I was inquiring as to your statement gustar, ecantar only take one object after you first thought " me lo encanta" was right; and where you might have looked that changed your mind. Dorothy Richmond's Book on verbs: Indirect object gustar noun. I guess I should have inferred that gustar does not take a direct object it is followed by a noun only. Or implied. In your example éste me gusta, éste is a demonstrative pronoun referring to something. I asked this on the LSLC forum and ended up pasting the answer from here. Otra vez gracias, Rich

Oh, sorry. No, I looked nowhere. I thought about it. If I'd chosen to think a little more before posting, I would't have made the blunder in my first post.
