The verb DISGUSTAR expresses disgust or being upset (Disgusted by things!)

DISGUSTAR resembles the verb GUSTAR, it conjugates in exactly the same way!

DISGUSTAR technically means IT DISGUSTS / UPSETS (me, you, him, her, us, etc…)

ME DISGUSTA(N) : It disgusts / upsets me

TE DISGUSTA(N) : It disgusts / upsets you

LE DISGUSTA(N) : It disgusts / upsets him – her

LE DISGUSTA(N) : It disgusts / upsets you

NOS DISGUSTA(N) : It disgusts / upsets us

OS DISGUSTA(N) : It disgusts / upsets y’all (familiar, plural)

LES DISGUSTA(N) : It disgusts / upsets them

LES DISGUSTA(N) : It disgusts / upsets you (formal, plural)

There are only TWO ways the verb DISGUSTAR can be conjugated. Either DISGUSTA or DISGUSTAN.

DISGUSTA = Singular. Only one thing or activity “is disgusting” to someone.

Me disgusta el pescado.
Fish disgusts me.

Me disgustan los mariscos.
Seafood (shellfish) disgusts me.

DISGUSTAN = Plural. More than one thing “is disgusting” to someone

When using DISGUSTAR with one verb, or many verbs, you’ll always use the singular form (DISGUSTA).

Me disgusta trabajar.
Work disgusts me – I dislike (upsets me) to work.

The indirect object pronouns (ME, TE, LE, NOS, OS, LES) help us understand TO WHOM is the NOUN/VERB pleasing! This is the part that changes according to who we are talking about!
