Did you know?
- While amar is the word for 'love' in this phrase, Spanish speakers often prefer querer for romantic partners in daily life, as amar can feel overly dramatic or reserved for poetry and songs.
- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, writing Te amo is considered much more intense and serious than the English 'I love you', which can sometimes be used casually with friends.
- The word siempre is a close linguistic relative to the English word 'semper', which you see in the Latin phrase 'semper fidelis' meaning 'always faithful'.
