Verb

agradar (first-person singular present agrado, first-person singular preterite agradí, past participle agradat)

1. to like
2. to please

Usage notes

• Agradar is usually translated as like, but subject and object are reversed from those of to like. That is, the subject of agradar is the thing that pleases and the indirect object is the person who likes it. As the object is indirect, a third-person subject is supplemented with the preposition a, or substituted by pronouns li/els.

• T'agrada el menjar? — Do you like the food?
• M'agrades molt. — I like you a lot. (literally to me you like a lot)
• A la noia li agradaven les flors. — The girl liked the flowers.
