Question

How do I say "I love you "in Spanish?

Community Answer

"Te amo" is a literal translation, and it is most often used in written Spanish. It is very "deep" and poetic. It is reserved for very serious and romantic encounters. "Te quiero," literally: "I want you" is the expression most often used in spoken Spanish to express "I love you".

Question

Why do Latin Americans speak Spanish differently than people in Spain?

Community Answer

They don't speak different types of Spanish. The grammar stays the same, it's just certain words that are different. It's like how Americans use different words than British people. For example, Americans say "elevator" whereas British people usually say "lift."
