Answer 2

Hello ARJuno2,

Welcome to tthe SpanishDict forum

Yes, Hca is correct when he says that: te amo means I love you

Please also be aware that the verb amar is used to mean I love you, but reserved for lexpressions of love between two people who are in an intimate, long term relationship such as husband and wife or two partners.

The verb amar is also used in Spanish literary works eg poetry expressing love

and also when expressing love for God.

The expression, I love you is also probably used countless times, each day, between friends, and people to others in their families and here a different verb is used:

Querer = to wish, want and to love

te quiero = I love you

Friends say it, parents say it to their children and children to their parents:

I hope this helps
