Sentence info.

The sentence “La mía me gusta más” in Spanish translates to “I like mine more” in English. Let’s break down how the sentence is formed:

– “La mía”: This is a possessive pronoun that means “mine” in Spanish, and it agrees in gender and number with the thing it refers to. “La” indicates that the thing possessed is feminine singular. If the thing were masculine singular, it would be “El mío”.

– “me gusta”: This is a reflexive-like construction that literally means “is pleasing to me”. In Spanish, to express liking something, you use the verb “gustar” in a different construction than in English. Instead of saying “I like something,” you say “Something is pleasing to me.”

– “más”: This means “more”. It’s used to compare and express that you have a preference for one thing over another.

Tips to remember the construction “me gusta”:

– Think of “gustar” as “to please” instead of “to like.”

– Remember that with “gustar,” the thing that is liked is actually the subject of the sentence, and the person who likes it is indirectly receiving the action, hence the “me” instead of “I.”

Alternate ways to express “I like mine more” in Spanish include:
– “Prefiero el mío” or “Prefiero la mía” (depending on the gender of the thing), which means “I prefer mine.”
– “Me agrada más el mío/la mía”, meaning “mine pleases me more.”
– “Me gusta más el mío/la mía”, simply adding “el mío/la mía” to specify “I like mine more.”
