I was about to explain to a student the scale of intensity that differentiates Me gustas, Te quiero, and Te amo. But she told me that she had already learned it “the hard way” with her Spanish boyfriend.
I tell people that the passionate, unretractable, and sacred Te amo should be saved for ecstatic moments or “deathbed situations,” but I’m exaggerating.
