Mixing up 'Enjoy' and 'Like'

You can use 'disfrutar' either directly with the thing you enjoy ('disfrutar la música') or by adding 'de' ('disfrutar de la música'). Both ways are correct, but using 'de' is often slightly more common or formal in some regions.

Using 'de' (Optional)

If you want to say 'enjoy yourself' (meaning 'have a good time'), you use the reflexive form: '¡Que te disfrutes!' or '¡Que lo disfrutes!' (Enjoy it!).

Reflexive Use for 'Enjoy Yourself'

When someone is leaving for a trip or an event, a very natural and warm Spanish farewell is '¡Que disfrutes!' (Enjoy it!).

A Great Farewell

This meaning is typically found in documents, legal discussions, or formal news reports when discussing entitlements, rights, or the use of assets.
