Not quite ready to express your full love but are falling for someone? Here are some phrases you can use. Me has robado el corazón – You have stolen my heart. Estoy loco/a por ti – I’m crazy about you. Te quiero con todo mi corazón – I love you with all my heart. Eres el amor de mi vida – You are the love of my life.
Here are some other useful phrases to use in expressing your love to your Spanish-speaking lover.Įstoy enamorado/a de ti (roughly the same meaning as “ te amo”) – I’m in love with you. You can also say that to a person you have just met and clicked with automatically, with no romantic intentions, just to express how much you have enjoyed meeting him/her. Let’s say it’s a way of saying you like someone a lot, more than anybody else. Saying “ me encantas” to someone doesn’t necessarily have to imply a love interest, but it’s commonly used before all the “I love yous” start. Instead, you would use “ te deseo.” Just realize that this does have a sexual connotation. Now, if you literally want to say “ I want you” to someone (as in physical desire), you wouldn’t use “ te quiero” in this case. “ Te quiero” is used in a more casual way and literally translates to “ I want you.” This is the most normal way to express love in most relationships (friends, family, etc). In Spain, you will not hear parents or grandparents say this to children. In Spain, “ te amo” has very strong connotations of love – it’s something you’d say at your wedding, and it always has a romantic meaning. You will also find “ te amo” normally used this way in Latin America. You wouldn’t want to say this to your best friend, though. In Mexico, however, it can also be used with parents and grandparents (usually mothers and grandmothers), and they might use it with their children. “ Te amo” is used when you want to declare your love to someone. Usually, these phrases are used in a long-term relationship, as with English.Īmar – to love (a bit stronger, not always romantic), very strong in Spain querer – to want, to love encantar – to really like, to adore In Spanish, there are two ways to say “I love you,” depending on how much you really want to emphasize your love.
