¿Qué cocinamos hoy? What should we cook today?

Gustar: "to like"

• Me gusta el pollo con arroz — "I like chicken with rice", but word for word "chicken with rice pleases me". The main word here is the chicken, not "I", and the verb agrees with it: one thing — gusta, several things — add -n: los plátanos me encantan.
• Encantar (to love) works the same way: Me encanta el pescado.
• No goes before me: la verdura no me gusta mucho — "I don't like vegetables much".

The article: yes with gustar, no after hay

• Me gusta el pollo, Me encanta el pescado, los plátanos — when you talk about a food in general ("I like chicken"), Spanish uses el, la, los, while English uses no article.
• After hay, there's no el or la: hay pescado, Tampoco hay chocolate.

A mí

• A mí los plátanos me encantan — a mí adds stress, as if Pablo says "as for me, I love bananas". The word me stays.

Not... either: tampoco

• Pollo tampoco hay, Tampoco hay chocolate, y el tomate tampoco — when tampoco comes before the verb, you don't need no.

Nothing: no... nada

• no hay nada de carne — if nada comes after the verb, you must put no before the verb: the double negative is normal in Spanish. Nada de carne means "no meat at all".
• Amounts are joined with de the same way: un poco de jamón — a little ham.

Cocinamos

• ¿qué cocinamos para la cena? — cocinamos means "we cook", but in a question like this it means "what should we cook?"
