Don't apologize...It's a tricky phrase. Te amo means I love you. It's used in cases of very deep, passionate love, for example: the mushy gushy love you see on soap operas. Amo is the present tense yo form of the verb amar - to love. Te is direct object pronoun meaning you. Te + amo = te amo = I love you.

Jones recalled: âNot long after taking my first sitting of Lincoln, he commenced preparing his addresses to be delivered in different cities through he was to pass from Springfield to Washington.cholar Lois Einhorn wrote that President-elect Lincolnâs policy of silence helped build suspense about what he would say in his âInaugural Address.ââ 6 Those few to whom Mr. Lincoln showed the speech were sworn to silence.
