Cultural Tip
In Spanish, *gustar* works opposite to English: the thing that pleases is the subject, and the person who enjoys it is an indirect object pronoun. When the thing is indefinite (*algo, nada, alguien*), the verb in the relative clause must be in the subjunctive, reflecting uncertainty about its existence.
