ti adoro
The English phrase "I adore you" is translated into Italian as ti adoro.
Did you know?
- While it sounds profoundly romantic, adorare is often used more casually in Italy to express high admiration for a celebrity or a delicious meal.
- While English uses 'adore' for both gods and partners, Italian traditionally uses adorare for the divine, making the romantic use of ti adoro a secularization of religious language.
- Using ti adoro can sometimes be flirtatious or playful, whereas ti amo is reserved for serious, romantic commitment.
Examples in context
- Ti adoro alla folliaI adore you like crazy
- Sei tutto per meYou're everything to me
- Ti adoro, tesoro mio.I adore you, my darling.
