Ti Amo!

What Does Ti Amo Really Mean? In short, “I Love You”

The English language have the phrase “I love you” to indicate their sentiments for their puppies, children, relatives and lovers. The language has one of the biggest vocabularies in the world and, yet, there is just one phrase used to indicate a variety of sentiments – from the sweet devotion a mother has for her baby to the passionate, feelings lovers have for one another.

The Italians are a little more explicit than English-language speakers. There’s “Ti voglio bene” or “I want you well” for puppies, children and family and “Ti amo” for when you’re deeply in love. The difference between these two short phrases and the meaning behind each will surprise you.

With those two words, you are saying that you deeply love and are attracted to this person. You are adding that you see this person in your future, that he or she has left an imprint on your heart. You can’t possibly imagine your life without him or her. Ti amo means you are willing to share your whole self with another.
