"My friends and I" - "about" not "bout" - "you" not "u" - "Spanish" not "spanish" "like" not "lik" - "right" not "write" - "I" not "i" I think I got them all. - ian-hill, Sep 23, 2009

Answer 1

The way I understand it is that there are two ways to say "I love you my love" in Spanish. "Te amo mi amor," is certainly one way; however, I could be wrong on this part, to my understanding this would be a lesser degree of love, if that makes sense. If it were me referring to my girlfriend, I would personally say, "te quiero mi amor." To the best of my knowledge this would be a more appropriate way of confessing your love to your significant other. Hope that helps!

Mikieo, I think you have them backwards. Te amo is the stronger and te quiero is the weaker way to say "I love you." :) - Valerie, Sep 22, 2009
