Me cae bien/mal

(everyday chunks)
A2 (¡Vas bien!)Used EVERYWHERE 🇲🇽Colloquial 🗯️

🧠 What it means

You’re gonna come across this chunk A LOT! It literally means he or she falls well/badly with me… but that doesn’t really make much sense, does it? And that’s because it’s actually another way of saying: 👉 I like/don't like someone (in a non-romantic way!) ⚠️ Remember: If you use gustar with a person, it usually means you’re INTO THEM romantically. So yeah… don’t make the mistake I made and start saying stuff like: Me gusta mi casero. Which means: I fancy my (80-year-old) landlord. 😳💘

🌪️ When to whip it out

Whenever you want to say that you like or don’t like someone:

Me cae muy bien tu hermana.
I really like your sister.
Me cae mal mi jefe.
I don’t like my boss.

⚠️ Tone

✅ Everyday Mexican Spanish.

✅ Totally fine to use in all contexts.

❌ Don’t confuse with gustar unless you’re talkin’ romance.
