Te quiero más (I love you more)
The basic answer for the question “How to say “I love you more” in Spanish?” is te quiero más. You would use this to show fondness and affection for friends, family, or even romantic partners who expressed their love first. Te quiero (I love you) is considered a more appropriate way to express your feelings in any type of relationship.
Te amo más (I love you more)
A deeper and more committed way to say “I love you more” in Spanish is te amo más. This phrase is typically reserved for only the most serious of relationships, such as a married couple or a very serious partnership. You wouldn’t want to respond te amo más to a casual friend who has said te quiero (I love you).
This differentiation between te amo and te quiero as “I love you” in Spanish is a guideline only and may vary among Spanish dialects around the world.
Más que nunca (more than ever)
Let your loved one know that your feelings are forever increasing with the expression más que nunca (more than ever). The word nunca (never) is used here instead of “ever” to mean all of the time up to this point.
An interesting grammar rule in Spanish is how it actually requires double negatives for clarity, using both the no (not) and nunca (never) in some sentences.
- No voy a dejarte nunca./Nunca te voy a dejar. = I’m never going to leave you.
Más que nada (more than anything)
If there’s absolutely nothing more important to you than your loved one, let them know that you love them más que nada (more than anything). You may also hear it worded as más que a nada.
The word nada means “nothing” by itself, but it would mean “anything” in this phrase.
- No hay nada más importante que ti. = There isn’t anything more important than you.
Más de lo que te imaginas (more than you know)
The Spanish phrase for “I love you more than you know” can be te quiero (or te amo) más de lo que te imaginas (I love you more than you can imagine).
As an alternative, use the expression cuánto te quiero (how much I love you).
- Nunca sabrás cuánto te quiero. = You’ll never know how much I love you.
Más que puedo expresar en palabras (more than I can express in words)
Love being the powerful feeling that it is, sometimes our words fail us. Learning with Rosetta Stone’s Dynamic Immersion method, you can choose the right words for the moment, but when mere words fall short, consider saying:
- Te quiero más que puedo expresar en palabras. = I love you more than I can express in words.
- Te amo más que puedo decirte.= I love you more than I can tell you.
