Do You Like Veg?

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 vegetables/ greens?"

In Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:

¿Te gusta la verdura?

Alternatively, he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:

¿Le gusta la verdura?

OUR TIP

The question is an invitation for you to say whether or not you like vegetables/ greens. 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 verdura (yes, I like vegetables/ greens);
Sí, me gusta bastante la verdura (yes, I quite like vegetables/ greens);
Sí, me gusta mucho la verdura (yes, I like vegetables/ greens very much);
No, me gusta muy poco la verdura (no, I don't like vegetables/ greens very much);
No, no me gusta la verdura (no, I don't like vegetables/ greens);
No, no me gusta mucho la verdura (no, I don't like vegetables/ greens very much);
No, no me gusta nada la verdura (no, I don't like vegetables/ greens at all);
