![]() ![]() How To Call Your Special One In European Portuguese This expression can be used even more lightly than the two previous ones, which means you can use it to express feelings for your friends, family and lover without feeling bad or awkward about it (still, it will be a bit weird if you say it to the mailman, but hey, who am I to judge?). For me, it is one of the sweetest things to hear, and if there is a slight foreign accent behind it, it is even cuter. Meaning “I like you very much”, this is a really sweet way to tell someone that you enjoy their company, that you feel comfortable with them and that you probably want to spend more time with them (at least that is what my mind associates this expression with).

Ok, you still can’t use it with the mailman when he is delivering your letters to your door, but with friends and family especially, it is much easier to use than the heavier version “Amo-te”. You will use it without feeling much embarrassment. This is, I would say, the equivalent to “Love you” in English.

Think of it as if it is a game you are playing and you only have some credit to use this word, so you have to choose wisely before you go around “wasting” it! #Adoro-te You hear and see people saying and writing “Love you”, “Love ya” or “Luv ya” all the time, I guess.

In fact, people even have some difficulty saying it to their parents (teenagers for sure do!). You also won’t say it to the guy in the supermarket, the lady who serves your coffee and not even to a friend (unless something really meaningful or crazy just happened and you have to let your friend know that you care that much about them!). ![]() You won’t say this to someone you just met or that you have been dating just for some days (unless you know this person is really the one and you are 100% sure about this!

This word should not be used lightly, because in Portuguese it carries a really big weight. ![]() This is the most straight-forward way to tell someone you love that you love them. OR they will already be Portuguese (´cause, you know, we are super lovable so a lot of foreigners fall in love with us…BE AWARE!) and they will find it amazing that you are uttering words in Portuguese that come directly from your heart.
