Most commonly, "Te quiero." How do you say I love you in Spanish? ¡Te quiero! I love you! "quiero" comes from the verb, querer, which means - to love in Spanish, or to like. http://www.learn-spanish-help.com/I-love-you-in-spanish.html Sep 01 09, 9:21 PM

Te quiero and te amo mean the same but are used in different contexts. Te quiero is used regarding love but in any context: family, friends and one's partner. Te amo and anything related to the verb amar is used only when you speak about true and romantic love. Therefore is not so common to hear it, and it is frequently used in novels, poetry and soaps. ...Amar is usually a bit stronger. I don't agree that it is always romantic. In México it is commonly used with mothers, and grandmothers as well as with lovers and husbands. Te quiero can also be used the same way. However, you would never say te amo to your best friend, but te quiero would be fine in that case. Me encantas can also be translated as "I love you," but is rarely used as such. Me encantas is more commonly used for "I'm enchanted" (by you). I believe usage varies by country and region to some extent. It can also be a question of habit. Through time, a particular couple may just choose te quiero over te amo or vice versa. http://spanish.about.com/od/usingparticularverbs/a/verbsforlove_2.htm Sep 01 09, 9:27 PM
