Me encantan tus videos
/me enkantan tus bideos/from spelling rules
The English phrase "I love your videos" is translated into Spanish as Me encantan tus videos.
Which one should you use?
If you are talking about only one video, the verb must change from the plural 'encantan' to the singular 'encanta': Me encanta tu video.
How does it change in a sentence?
In the phrase Me encantan tus videos, the verb encantar is used in a way that literally translates to "your videos enchant me." This means the subject of the sentence is tus videos rather than "yo" (I).
What mistakes should you avoid?
Avoid saying Yo encanto tus videos to mean "I love your videos." While English speakers often use "yo" (I) as the subject, in Spanish, the videos are the subject that performs the "enchanting" action.
