Te amo - I love you (I think this is the strongest) Te quiero - I love you/ like you (literally I like you, but I think it has a stronger connotation than in English) Te adoro - I adore you (is the literal translation) Other ones to know: Me gustas - I like you (I "like like" you, not quite love and more than the later) Me caes bien - I like you, you do well by me

This could be stupid but they are "love levels" When you barely start a new relationship you say "te quiero" to your partner, then (a few weeks or months later) you say "te adoro" to express that your love for him/her has increased. Finally, when you are sure you have a very strong relationship you will say "Te amo"

Te quiero. Standard way of saying I love you (in Spain) Te amo. Yo mainly can hear of read it in books and films but according to my experience is rarely heard in common language. Te adoro. A kind of efusive way of "te quiero". Most used in familiar situation when somebody does something for you and you feel quite grateful... but this expression is not usually used in a "romantic situation way".
