How to Say ‘I'd like to get to know you better.’ in Spain Spanish

Me apetece conocerte mejor.

meh ah-peh-TEH-seh koh-noh-SEHR-teh meh-HOR

[meh ah-peh-TEH-seh koh-noh-SEHR-teh meh-HOR]

💬 Usage Tip: When a verb is followed by another verb in the infinitive, object words can attach to the end: [conocerte], [verte], [escucharte]. [Me apetece] is a common trigger for that pattern.

🇪🇸 In Spain: This is clearly more direct than the noise-based lines, so it works better once the other person is already responding well. Early on, it can feel a bit strong.
