1. "Eu amo": This is the most common and general way to say "I love." It's used for romantic love, love for family, friends, and even things you are passionate about.
2. "Eu te amo": This is used when you want to express love directly to someone. It is more intimate and personal than "eu amo." The "te" is the object pronoun for "you" in the informal singular form.
Here are some examples:
* "Eu amo pizza." (I love pizza.)
* "Eu amo meus pais." (I love my parents.)
* "Eu amo o meu trabalho." (I love my work.)
* "Eu te amo." (I love you.)
Important Note: While "eu amo" is used more generally, "eu te amo" is reserved for expressing romantic love or love for someone very close to you.
