"Te amo" means "I love you."

'Amo' comes from the Spanish verb 'amar' which means 'to love' which is usually reserved for romantic love between your partner, in most countries.

To express love to anyone, including family, friends, or your romantic partner, it is more common to say "Te quiero" which comes from the Spanish verb 'querer.' While 'querer' is technically translated to 'to want,' it is the most commonly accepted way of expressing love that is affectionate and caring, not intimate and romantic.

This may vary in different countries or cities, but overall, "te amo" is reserved for special, romantic feelings for your partner.
