También añoro el marisco del Cantábrico.
Marisco = marido (casi lo mismo)

Ok. Por lo menos yo en general, añoro lo uso para significar nostalgia, como en tu último ejemplo. La verdad que sé de la palabra pero muy raras veces la ocupo/uso.

Degrees of romanticism.

Really I don't use the word Te añoro in Spanish.
I prefer use the word Te extraño sound more nice and it means what your feeling are truly toward the person.

I missing you.
Te extraño.

I don't know but as Chileno said.
That word is very strange for me, I tell you, I'm not use that word in my speech.

It's strange the word.

Bueno, pues 'añoranza', 'nostalgia' son palabras muy comunes y usadas en España. En cuanto a lo de 'me haces falta' 'te necesito'... sí, también... Víctor Manuel (el cantante) tenía una canción que iba algo así como, "Hey, sólo pienso en ti..."
También se podrían usar expresiones más largas: Siento tristeza/pena/desazón/ansiedad al saber que no estás a mi lado/al saberte lejos/al no tenerte cerca...
Como muy bien dice Chileno, 'grados de romanticismo'.
Y por otro lado, tenemos las antítesis... había alguna folclórica española que cantaba: "Vete, me has hecho daño, vete, con tus mentiras, vete..., lejos de aquí". Pero eso ya sería cambiar de tema...

En Chile se usan extrañar y añorar, pero echar de menos es lo que más se usa.

Yes you're right, but anyhow they aren't very used in the Spanish speech añoranza', 'nostalgia', then I dare say what the word more utilized is Extrañar.

I don't know it's my point.

"Añorar" sounds rather melodramatic for us here... one would have to feel a very intense sadness and nostalgia to use that verb seriously without sounding exaggerated.

I see, I have fixed few points in your post.
Well, here you have more examples, with both expressions,


including 'añoro' (in the next one)

The second song I don't know to the singer, but in the first one, I think what is a good song for my ears.

I think what the love is the motive what the word being more comfortable for us.

When the love come to you.
What do you do with the love near of you?
