Love is all around us and thus it is no surprise that "How to say I love you in Spanish" is one of the most searched phrases that Google is asked. Well at least by students of the Spanish language.
Well the answer is quite simple: Te quiero.
Or Te amo, which is for the romantics among you and which is also quite common in Latin American countries.
From "I like you" to "I love you"
But sometimes you just want to say I like you In this case you would say Me gustas tú or Me encantas tú if you want to say I like you a lot
| I like you | Me gustas (tú) | |
| I like you a lot | Me encatas (tú) | |
| I love you | Te quiero Te amo romantic form, common in Latin American |
But be careful
If you want to say I love ice cream you cannot say Yo quiero helado as this would mean I want ice cream In this case you must say Me gusta el helado or Me encanta el helado if you want to express that you like it a lot.
