What does it mean word for word?
Literally, the phrase means "Your kisses enchant me". In this structure, tus besos (your kisses) is the subject that performs the action of enchanting the speaker (me).
Which one should you use?
You can also say Amo tus besos to mean "I love your kisses". If you want to use the specific meaning "I adore your kisses", you can use Adoro sus besos.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In certain parts of Spain, people may say Me mola un montón cómo besas to express "I love how you kiss".
How does it change in a sentence?
Because besos is plural, the verb must be conjugated in the third-person plural form encantan. If you are referring to a single kiss rather than multiple kisses, the verb changes from the plural encantan to the singular encanta and the noun changes from besos to beso, resulting in Me encanta tu beso.
