Did you know?
- While te amo is the most intense form of love, the Spanish variation te quiero is more common in daily life. It literally means 'I want you' but functions as 'I love you' for friends, relatives and early-stage romance.
- In some parts of Spain, adding the word jamás to the end of your profession of love, as in Te quiero para siempre jamás, creates a poetic effect that essentially means 'forever and ever' by pairing 'always' with 'never'.
- The word siempre shares a common ancestor with the English military motto 'semper fi', as both trace back to the same Latin root 'semper'.
