What does it mean word for word?
The phrase literally translates to "enamored of" rather than the English "in love with".
How does it change in a sentence?
The adjective must agree in gender with the person who is in love. Use enamorada de for a person in love if she is female, and enamorados de for multiple people in love (this includes a mixed group of men and women).

/enamoɾado de/
What mistakes should you avoid?
Avoid saying enamorado con. While English speakers often say "in love with", you must use the preposition de (of) instead of con (with).
Did you know?
- In Spanish, the word enamorar can be used transitively, meaning that one person can actively 'make' another person fall in love through their actions.
- While enamorado describes the feeling of love, Spanish speakers often use the word colao or colado as a slang term to describe being completely smitten or head-over-heels.
- In Spanish, the phrase estoy enamorado uses the verb estar because being in love is considered a state or a temporary condition, rather than an inherent characteristic of a person's personality.
