How To Say 'I Love You' in Spanish

By Gerald Erichsen, About.com

It has been said that most important three-word sentence in the English language is 'I love you.' If that's the case, Spanish's most important sentence is easier, since it's only two words.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 minutes

Here's How:

  1. Look in the eyes of the person you love.
  2. Take him or her by the hand.
  3. Smoothly say, 'Te amo,' like this: 'TAY AHM-oh.'

Tips:

  1. Be aware that in this case 'te' is the word for 'you,' and 'amo' means 'I love.'
  2. Don't say it unless you're sincere. Anyone who can spot a phony in English can do the same in Spanish.
