Did you know?
- The word el in el amor comes from the Latin ille, and despite looking similar, it is a false cognate of the Arabic definite article al.
- In Spanish, the word amor is used as a common term of endearment for partners, children and even strangers in some dialects, similar to calling someone 'honey' or 'dear'.
- The use of the imperative haz makes the phrase a direct command, which can feel much more assertive in Spanish than the English 'make love to me' might feel in a soft romantic setting.
Examples in context
- Por favor, hazme el amor.Please, make love to me.
