Gli piace guardare film storici.

English Translation

He enjoys watching historical films.

Ciao a tutti,

“Gli piace guardare film storici.”
I’m wondering why it’s not “piacciono” as it’s more than one film?

I read this as “It pleases him to watch historical films” or “To him it is pleasing to watch …” so the verb ending relates to “it”. (It is that old coconut of “piacere” meaning to please rather than to like).

More than happy to be corrected, nel frattempo Auguri! :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:
