U hrvatskom jeziku, isti glagol 'voleti' (ljubav) se koristi za izražavanje i vrstu ljubavi - na partnera i na člana obitelji. Dakle, to je prihvatljivo reći 'volim TE "(volim vas) za svoju djevojku / dečka ili supruga / suprugu, ali i na svoju djecu ili otac / majka.
'Da bi se u ljubav' možemo prevesti'' Biti zaljubljen 'i to se koristi samo reći da volimo nekoga u romantičnom i seksualno način. (Zaljubljen Sam u. you. = Ja sam u ljubavi s tobom.)

In Croatian, the same verb 'voleti' (to love) is used to express both kind of love - to a partner and to a family member. So it's acceptable to say 'Volim te' (I love you) to your girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband but also to your children or father/mother.
'To be in love' we can translate ''biti zaljubljen' and it's used only to say that we love someone in a romantic and sexual way. (Zaljubljen sam u tebe. = I'm in love with you.)
Also there's a verb 'zaljubiti se' (to fall in love) which means to start to love someone romantically.
(For example 'Zaljubio sam se u tebe kada sam te prvi put video. = I fell in love with you first time I saw you.)
