to interest, be of interest to

Examples

.

That book interests me greatly.

.

The topic did not interest the guests.

, .

I am curious what he will answer.

as .

She is interested in the history of the language.

.

Nothing interests him except money.

The sentence runs backwards from the English. The thing does the interesting and you are the object, so , and writing claims that you are the fascinating one. For "I am interested in", add -- and the preposition : as . It is the same shape as , and getting the pair right early saves a lot of quiet confusion later. Interesa is interesting, intereso the interest itself.
