To say ‘I want you’ in Spanish, you would say ‘Te quiero.’
‘Te quiero’ is a common phrase used in various contexts. It’s often used among friends and family to express affection, similar to saying ‘I care about you’ or ‘I love you’ in a more casual sense. However, you can also express romantic feelings with this phrase.
If you want to express a stronger sense of desire, especially in a romantic context, you might say ‘Te deseo,’ which translates more directly to ‘I desire you.’
Both phrases are useful depending on the context in which you want to express your feelings. Just be mindful of your tone and the relationship you have with the person you’re speaking to.
