  1. Encantar – to delight or enchant

  2. Encantar– to delight • Meencantatucamisa. Your shirt delights me. • Meencantanlos animales. Animals delight me. In English this sounds even more bizarre than saying, “Your shirt pleases me.” For that reason, encantar is loosely translated to mean “to love.”

  3. Thinking of encantar as “to love.” The following sentences have the same meaning, but different sentence structures. Which matches the Spanish structure? • Ilovetigers. Meencantanlos tigres. • *Tigersdelightme. Meencantanlostigres. verb subject object *This one matches the Spanish structure because “tigers” is the subject, and therefore determines the form of the verb.

  4. Thinking of encantar as “tolove” Encantar is not used to talk about loving people. It is used to talk about loving (as in really enjoying) activities and things. Examples: • Meencantaesquiar. • I love to ski. • Teencantaeseprograma de tele. • You love that TV show.
