About this episode

This episode explains the differences between two Italian verbs that both mean 'to love' in English.

In today’s episode, I am going to explain two Italian verbs that correspond to the single English verb “to love.” While both can be translated as “to love,” they carry different emotional nuances and are used in different contexts.
