How to Say “I Love You” in Italian<\/h2>\n

Ti amo.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Ti amo<\/em><\/strong> is the Italian superstar of love expressions. It\u2019s often used to express that blissful, romantic love we all hope to experience.<\/p>\n

Although romantic partners are the ones most likely to use this phrase, you can also hear parents say this to their children. Even siblings and close friends can say ti amo<\/em> to each other without batting an eyelash!<\/p>\n

Ti voglio bene.<\/em><\/h3>\n

While the modern usage of ti amo<\/em> extends beyond romantic love, there’s another option. If you want to express your affection to someone you have platonic feelings for and want to leave no room for interpretation regarding what you mean, you can say ti voglio bene<\/em> instead.<\/p>\n

It translates to “I love you,” but its literal meaning is “I want you well.” This is the phrase often used to show love to family members and close friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to Say “I Love You Very Much”<\/h2>\n

To add depth to ti amo<\/em> or ti voglio bene,<\/em> tack on\u00a0molto<\/strong><\/em> (very)<\/strong> to either phrase. This small word brings each declaration up a notch.<\/p>\n

Just remember how Italian sentences are structured<\/a>\u00a0and add\u00a0molto<\/em> after the verb<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Ti amo<\/em> \u2192 Ti amo molto<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/strong>(I love you \u2192 I love you very much)<\/p>\n

Ti voglio bene<\/em> \u2192 Ti voglio molto bene<\/strong><\/em>
\n(I love you \u2192 I love you very much)<\/p>\n
