"I like Fridays."

Translation: Eu gosto de sextas-feiras.

[ScottFerg88]

Does anyone know if there is a difference between "gosto das sextas-feiras" and "gosto DE sextas-feiras"?

[Paulenrique]

using "das" may be understood that there is something really good on Fridays that makes you really like them, while "de" shows just your like. But they can be used interchangeably.

[m.spalatin]

Could you explain this a bit more? How come we can use "de" here?

[ThanKwee]

I'm gonna take a stab at this, but I'm not sure if I'm right. I believe that "Fridays" can be translated as either "sextas-feiras" or "as sextas-feiras" because the "as" is optional.

So it's either "Eu gosto de sextas-feiras" or "Eu gosto das sextas-fieras" because de + as = das

[Paulenrique]

Yes, that's right for this sentence! =)

[ThanKwee]

woo-hoo! :-)

[m.spalatin]

Thank you! :)

[Swirbs]

So either answer should be accepted here - but "das" was marked wrong?

[ThanKwee]

That's right. Either answer should be accepted.

[4oYBIxtO]

It is OK now

[Anderson_Brazil]

When you say "de" it's about any Friday. But you can specify, for example "gosto das sextas-feiras de verão" (I like Summer Fridays)

[Gyozo_Cserhalmy]

Why wasn't accepted the singular version here? (...de sexta-feira.) Earlier this seemed to me to be the suggested solution.

[pinkybrainy]

Why is "eu gosto de sexta" wrong?

[4oYBIxtO]

Did you try “Eu gosto de sextas”

[pinkybrainy]

Yes. That was accepted. Buy I still want to know why is "eu gosta de sexta" wrong
