How gustar works: me gusta, me gustan

The liked thing is the subject; the person is an indirect object: me gusta el café, me gustan los viajes. The verb agrees with the thing, not the person.

Erklärung

Literally 'the coffee pleases me': me/te/le/nos/os/les + gusta (singular thing or infinitive) / gustan (plural things). Me gusta viajar; me gustan las salteñas.

Emphasize or clarify the person with a + pronoun: a mí me gusta, a ella le gusta. Never *yo gusto el café — that reverses the structure.
