How to Say ‘What do you like most?’ in Spain Spanish
¿Qué es lo que más te gusta?
keh ehs loh keh mahs teh GOOS-tah
[keh ehs loh keh mahs teh GOOS-tah]
💬 Usage Tip: gustar works backwards from English: the thing you like is the subject, and te marks who's pleased. So te gusta is really "it pleases you", and with plural things it becomes te gustan.
