Did you know?
- In Greek culture, saying Σε αγαπώ can feel very heavy and serious, so many couples use the term μου είσαι όλα meaning 'you are my everything' for daily affection.
- The word αγαπώ comes from agape, a specific type of unconditional and selfless love that is distinct from eros or romantic passion.
- While Σε αγαπώ περισσότερο is grammatically correct, in a passionate argument about who loves whom more, a Greek speaker might simply say Περισσότερο! to mean 'More!'
