Rfv-sense "(idiomatic, vulgar, slang) You turn me on." removed by an anon as nonexistent.—msh210℠ (talk) 04:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- I think the IP is spot on here; not idiomatic, vulgar or slang, just use of the first sense. Mglovesfun (talk) 07:18, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- And the first sense is SOP, and would be even with the more idiomatic English translation "I like you". I know this isn't RFD, but delete anyway. —Angr 10:19, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- This should be at rfd, because it's simply the second person singular of the verb gustar, with a first person singular object. Granted, the verb works differently than English speakers would expect, but we would need to have a similar entry for every single combination of person and number for the subject and object, to be consistent. It seems easier to me just to convert it to an "inflection of" entry. Chuck Entz (talk) 12:59, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Not even. Gustas should be (and presumably already is) an "inflection of" entry; this is just two words whose meaning is a sum of their parts. —Angr 13:09, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Straightforward SOP. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:57, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- The current translation is not acceptable, but I’m not so sure the term is straightforward for English-speaking students of Spanish. The translation should be "I like you"; it might be better as a phrasebook term. It’s a confusing construction for English-speakers who are studying Spanish. I think most Spanish students would argue that me gustas and te gusto are errors, and that only me gusta is correct. —Stephen (Talk) 19:50, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- Of course to a Spanish speaker it's pure sum of parts. However surely this is a good candidate for a phrase book entry, so keep as a phrasebook entry, move the literal meaning to the etymology. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:38, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- @Metaknowledge, Stephen G. Brown, Mglovesfun I have edited it. Please check if it still fits to be a RFD candidate. --kc_kennylau (talk) 17:18, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. Move any idiomatic parts of the definition to gustar
or se gustar. --WikiTiki89 18:48, 31 January 2014 (UTC)- The ping didn't work, and it's still just as SOP as ever. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:15, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. Move any idiomatic parts of the definition to gustar
- Keep, since Stephen is not so sure the term is straightforward for English-speaking students of Spanish, and since this seems to be a good candidate for a phrasebook entry as per Mglovesfun. Furthermore, if the usage note at me gustas is correct that this phrase is only restricted to expressing sexual attraction, then I do not see how this is a sum of parts; see also gustar and the following example given there: Me gusta la canción. — I like the song. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:31, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- Searching me gustas at google image further proves that it is not SOP. --kc_kennylau (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete or keep as a phrasebook entry. It's certainly SOP. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 01:45, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
- Keep as a phrasebook entry (converted), that's what it is. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:54, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
Kept, no consensus to delete. bd2412 T 12:44, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
