The standard translation of 'I love you' from English to Spanish is 'te Quiero'. This is pronounced as 'tey keero'.
However, as with many languages, it is often the case that a different word or phrase is used to mean the same thing for different circumstances.
In Spanish, the phrase 'te quiero' is considered to be appropriate when it used to speak to anyone you may love, including your spouse, parents, brothers and sisters or friends.
However, the phrase 'te amo' (the verb of 'amo' is 'amar') should only be used when referring to your lover or spouse, not your parents, siblings or friends.
