Spanish Word - I love you
Hi Everyone,

I just start my Spanish course online, and I would like to ask if I want to say "I Love You" and "Can you marry me" -- how to say it in Spanish?

Thanks!
Ken

I love you = te quiero
Will you marry me (not can)? = ¿quieres casarte conmigo? (But I would not advise this in any language)

I love you = Te amo

Te amo = when you are really inlove, to someone very special. To a wife.
Te quiero = more tender, less passion. To a friend.

I think: te quiero = I want you

Can you marry me? = ¿Quieres casarte conmigo?

What does inlove means?

I can't find the mean in Tomisimo's dictionary.

What does means that exactly?

I will appreciate your advice.

In my country, if you told somebody "te amo", he/she would look at you as if you were born two centuries ago. We always say "te quiero".

I don't think the third one means the same.

@Perikles & Jessica: "te encanto" would mean "you like me very much"... rather different from "I love you".

Maybe Jessica meant "me gustas" (I like you) or "me encantas" (I like you very much), which can be a prelude to a declaration of love, but not yet "I love you".

"Encantarle algo a alguien" can be translated as "someone loves something", but not in the sense of affection; it would just be something someone enjoys.

A Pedro le encanta la jardinería.
Pedro enjoys gardening.

Me encanta tu risa.
I love the way you laugh.

¿No les encanta Juan? Siempre está de buen humor.
Don't you love Juan? He's always in a good mood.

¡Te encanta hacerme enojar!
You really enjoy making me angry!
