adorar
to adore; to worship
Pronunciation
/aðoˈɾaɾ/
Cultural Note
Adorar falls between 'querer' and 'amar' on the intensity scale. It's very expressive and common in everyday romantic speech. 'Te adoro' is a popular way to express deep affection without the full gravity of 'te amo.' It can also be used for things: 'adoro el chocolate' (I adore chocolate). The religious origin (to worship) gives it an elevated quality.
📝 Example Sentences

Adoro tu forma de reír.
I adore the way you laugh.
