Did you know?
- If you want to say 'I love you' to a person, you would use a completely different verb, kochać, instead of uwielbiać used in uwielbiam to.
- The verb uwielbiać has a much more intense, almost religious connotation than the English 'to love' or 'to adore'. In a spiritual context, it can mean to worship a deity with total devotion.
- The word to descends from the Proto-Indo-European root *só, making it a distant relative of the English word 'that'.
