Do You Like Meat?

SCENARIO
Imagine you are talking to a relative, a friend or a work colleague. You are talking about the things each one of you like. At some point the other person says to you something like: "do you like meat?"

In Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:
¿Te gusta la carne?

Alternatively, he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿Le gusta la carne?


OUR TIP
The question is an invitation for you to say whether or not you like meat. A yes/no answer may be strictly sufficient. However, with little effort, your answer could be a lot more informative.

Here are some examples of how you could reply:
  • Sí, me gusta la carne (yes, I like meat);
  • Sí, me gusta bastante la carne (yes, I quite like meat);
  • Sí, me gusta mucho la carne (yes, I like meat very much);
  • No, me gusta muy poco la carne (no, I don't like meat very much);
  • No, no me gusta la carne (no, I don't like meat);
  • No, no me gusta mucho la carne (no, I don't like meat very much);
  • No, no me gusta nada la carne (no, I don't like meat at all);

Now you should practise answering the question:
¿Te gusta la carne?
