What does "no me ha gustado mucho unos regalos que me ha comprado mi hermana" mean?
-
Hi there, Can anyone tell me what "no me ha gustado mucho unos regalos que me ha comprado mi hermana" means? I can't work out whether the end part is saying 'the presents I have bought my sister' or 'the presents my sister has bought me' ... or I could be completely wrong! Thanks in advance!

Answer:
I have not really liked the presents that my sister has bought me. Me is an object and indicates that they were bought for you. Ha comprado mi hermana= mi hermana is the subject of this clause, ha comprado is the verb which goes with mi hermana. That's how you know that your sister was the one buying the gifts for you. Oh, and by the way, it should be, "no me HAN gustado mucho unos regalos..." Regalos is the subject of that clause, and therefore the verb, "han" needs to be plural. And I don't know why someone thumbed me down either!

The presents that your sister has bought for you.
The end part of the sentence is talking about presents that the speaker's sister has bought for the speaker. If it were the other way around (talking about presents the speaker has bought for his/her sister), the verb would be "he comprado" (I have bought) rather than "ha comprado" (s/he has bought").
I agree with Esther below (and shouldn't have gotten a thumbs-down). A bit freer translation (without insisting in translating literally "ha gustado" (should have been "han gustado") and "ha comprado") would be: "I didn't like some of the presents my sister bought me very much". Could even have been a native Spanish speaker...just with a "imperfect grammatical" sentence. There's all kinds and levels of Spanish.
Some of the gifts that my sister has bought for me, I haven't liked very much. You can tell because it says "que me HA comprado mi hermana". If it meant the gifts that you had bought for your sister, it would have been "que le HE comprado a mi hermana", which wouldn't make sense. Why would you give your sister presents that you didn't like very much? The conjugation is much more important than the word order.
It means: "I didn't like that much some of the presents my sister bought me."
I think it's something like 'I don't the presents my sister has bought me' but Im not sure.
Means : I liked some gifts that I bought my sister
