Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it 'Me interesan' and not 'Yo intereso'?
'Interesar' works differently than English verbs. You don't 'do' the interesting; the things 'are' interesting to you. 'Me' means 'to me,' and 'interesan' means 'they are interesting.' You are the receiver of the interest, not the doer.
