زمینه فرهنگی

The phrase highlights the Portuguese requirement for the preposition 'de' after the verb 'gostar'. Culturally, expressing preference is a key part of social bonding in Lusophone countries, whether discussing food, music, or football. It is a foundational phrase for building rapport.

💡

The 'De' Rule

Always remember that 'disso' is actually 'de + isso'. If you forget the 'de' sound, you'll sound like a beginner!

⚠️

Don't use for people

If you say 'Gosto disso' while looking at a person, it sounds like you're calling them an 'it'. Use 'Gosto de você' instead.

What It Means

Gosto disso is your go-to phrase for expressing approval. It combines the verb gostar (to like) with disso (of that). In Portuguese, you don't just 'like something.' You 'like OF something.' It sounds natural and direct. Use it when someone suggests a plan or shows you a cool gadget. It is the verbal equivalent of a thumbs-up emoji.

How To Use It

Place it at the end of a thought. If a friend asks if you want pizza, say Gosto disso. It works for things you can see or ideas you just heard. You can add muito to say Gosto muito disso for extra enthusiasm. It is very flexible. You do not need to change the words for gender. Disso stays the same whether the idea is masculine or feminine.

When To Use It

Use it when someone shows you a new song. Use it when a colleague suggests a shorter meeting. It is perfect for texting when you agree with a suggestion. At a shop, use it to point out a shirt you like. It makes you sound decisive and positive. It is a great conversation filler to show you are paying attention.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use it for people. To say you like a person, use Gosto dele or Gosto dela. Using disso for a person makes them sound like an object. Avoid it in extremely formal legal documents. Do not use it if you are talking about a specific plural noun. For plural things, you should use disso's cousin, disso (wait, it's actually desses or dessas). If the vibe is very negative, a simple Gosto disso might sound sarcastic.

Cultural Background

Portuguese speakers are generally expressive and warm. Saying you like something helps build a 'ponte' (bridge) between people. In Brazil, people might shorten it to just Gosto. In Portugal, the full Eu gosto disso is more common. It reflects a culture that values agreement and social harmony. It is a safe, polite way to be part of the group.

Common Variations

  • Eu gosto disso: More emphasis on your personal opinion.
  • Gosto muito disso: I really like that.
  • Não gosto disso: I don't like that (use with a frown!).
  • Gosto imenso disso: A very Portuguese way to say you love it.
  • Curto disso: A slang version used by younger crowds in Portugal.

نکات کاربردی

This is a safe, neutral phrase. It works in 90% of situations where you want to express a positive opinion about a thing or an idea.

💡

The 'De' Rule

Always remember that 'disso' is actually 'de + isso'. If you forget the 'de' sound, you'll sound like a beginner!

⚠️

Don't use for people

If you say 'Gosto disso' while looking at a person, it sounds like you're calling them an 'it'. Use 'Gosto de você' instead.

💬

The Brazilian 'Gostei'

In Brazil, you'll often hear 'Gostei' (past tense) even if they like it right now. It means 'I liked the idea you just presented'.
