Usage notes
edit- In the sense translated as 'love', subject and object are reversed from those of to love. That is, the subject of encantar is the thing that is loved and the indirect object is the person loving it. As the object is indirect, a third-person subject is supplemented with the preposition a, or substituted by pronouns li/els.
- M'encanta l'hivern. — I love winter a lot. (literally to me winter loves a lot)
