Or aren't we? Is it just me...?
The truth is it actually doesn't sound so compromising in english, but in our own language it gets a whole new meaning.
"Amo-te" should mean something like: i'll mary you and have your children. LOL call me oldfashioned, that's what i naively believe in.
However to say the words "I love you" isn't so terrible. It just means you love/like/whatever one person now but it doesn't imply that you won't love/like/whatever another person in the future.
How can the same word have such a different meaning when translated?
Is our way of living, are our beliefs, so intricate into our own words that simply translating them isn't enough? Once again I ask: what do words mean? What are they trully for? And how do feelings change so dramatically from one language to another?
And by the way, how do we say in portuguese "I love you" and in english "amo-te"?
