Which one should you use?

Did you know?
- Spanish has several ways to say 'I love you' that vary by intensity. Te quiero is the baseline, Te amo is deep romantic love, and Te adoro is used for an intense, almost worshipful devotion.
- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, saying Te amaré is so intense that it is usually reserved for literature, songs, or solemn vows rather than casual dating.
- The word siempre comes from the Latin semper, which is the exact same root found in the English word 'semper fi' (always faithful).
