Is "me gustas" ever correct, e.g. to say "I like you"?

Question

We have been taught that 'gustar' is an unusual verb and that you only ever use 'gusta' or 'gustan' depending on whether you like singular or plural things.Would you use 'me gustas' to say 'I like you'?

Answer 1

It is correct. You say me gustas as I like you. Me gustas is as saying : Tu gustas a mi ( a mi becomes me) and it goes before verb.

Answer 2

The literal translation of "me gusta" means that something "is pleasing to you." If you want to express a liking towards a specific person it is better to say "me encanta..." instead of usingthe verb "Gustar."
