aimer
to love
Pronunciation
/e.me/
Cultural Note
'Je t'aime' is the quintessential French declaration of love. Unlike English, French distinguishes between 'aimer' (to love) and 'aimer bien' (to like). Saying 'je t'aime bien' actually weakens the sentiment and means 'I like you' rather than 'I love you.'
📝 Example Sentences

I love you more than anything.
Elle aime son mari depuis vingt ans.
She has loved her husband for twenty years.
