| Sep 16, 2018 at 15:52 | comment | added | Gustavson | @FGSUZ As you must know, there is one way in which "con" can be used with "estar enamorados" (plural), but the "con"-phrase will tend to be used as a separate adverbial: Con María estamos muy enamorados (meaning: Maria and I are deeply in love with each other.) | |
| Sep 15, 2018 at 22:45 | comment | added | FGSUZ | Oh okay haha. I thought you were trying to relate falling in love and looking eye to eye haha. I'm deleting my comments. | |
| Sep 15, 2018 at 22:41 | comment | added | Schwale | @FGSUZ Enamorado con is not idiomatic, so I see eye to eye with you on this one. | |
| Sep 15, 2018 at 22:12 | comment | added | FGSUZ | @Joshua Rather than having 2 subjects, it's involving 2 people. But I don't think that implies anything. Another synonym of "enamorarse" is "colgarse de" (colloquial), and that'd translate as "hang by someone". USing "by" would make more sense to me, like "being captured by someone". But the fact is that neither of them are used. | |
| Sep 15, 2018 at 22:07 | comment | added | Joshua | @FGSUZ: because it only makes sense with a plural subject, so I think there's an implicit pronoun nosotros. Or in this case ustedes. | |
| Sep 15, 2018 at 22:04 | comment | added | FGSUZ | @Joshua and why do you think so? | |
| Sep 15, 2018 at 22:01 | comment | added | Joshua | @FGSUZ: Looks like a literal translation of the English form, but I think it should be enamorados con. | |
| Sep 15, 2018 at 21:40 | comment | added | FGSUZ | As a native speaker, I'd never heard "enamorado con" used with people. Could you add some references? | |
