Cultural Note
Verliebt describes the state of being in love, often with the connotation of the early, giddy phase. The idiom 'bis über beide Ohren verliebt' (in love up to both ears) is the German equivalent of 'head over heels.' Germans distinguish between 'verliebt sein' (being in love — the butterfly stage) and 'lieben' (to love — deeper, more mature love).
