- While me encanta todo de ti is deeply romantic, using the verb encantar to describe a person can sometimes feel less permanent than using amar, as it emphasizes intense delight over a lifelong commitment.
- The word ti is a relic of the Latin dative 'tibi', which is why it remains a special form used only after prepositions.
