Musik auf Spanisch

Post by gmads »

Wenn Sie Musik auf Spanisch mögen
Wenn Musik auf Spanisch dir gefällt, poste ich im englischen Forum Konversationsthreads mit verschiedenen Stilrichtungen. Sie tragen den Titel "Música en español".

Blame it on Google Translate :!: :D

Lots and lots of years ago I started to study German, but I didn't advance much: being an autodidact on languages back then was quite complicated. I have been thinking for some weeks now about starting the German course on DL, as I discarded the Japanese one, but... I'm still thinking it :D

I imagine that I just need to substitute the "Sie" pronoun with "du." Right?

Well, it's similar as in Spanish: generally the verb form changes in accordance with the subject. This applies to mögen, too, because it works the same way as "to like", with the person liking something being subject and not object as in Spanish.

  • Si te gusta ... - Wenn du ... magst (singular, informal)
  • Si le gusta ... - Wenn Sie ... mögen (singular, formal)
  • Si os gusta ... (in Spain), si les gusta ... (in America) - Wenn ihr ... mögt (plural, informal)
  • Si les gusta ... - Wenn Sie ... mögen (plural, formal - informal see above)

But we have another verb that is closer to gustar in terms of grammar:

Wenn ... dir/Ihnen/euch/Ihnen gefällt.

Here you only need to modify the object pronoun, as in Spanish.

And Google translate is notoriously bad about correctly translating you, even between Italian and Spanish.

Not as in English where the verb only changes for the third person singular. Thanks.

I would have to say: "Wenn du Musik auf Spanisch magst [...]."

In this case I would then need to express it as: "Wenn Musik auf Spanisch dir gefällt [...]."

Now I have two options to choose from :D

I'll go with the last one :)

Thanks :!:
