The meaning of I love you itself in Indonesian is aku cinta kamu. Yes, KLovers must already know the meaning of that sentence.

But what is the meaning of I love you as the most profound expression of love? This certainly needs to be known so that you can express your feelings more deeply to someone.

Now, for KLovers who want to delve into the meaning of I love you, here is the explanation from experts, along with other expressions of love and the appropriate responses you can give. Let's check it out, KLovers.

1. Meaning of the Phrase I Love You

Experts say that the phrase I love you itself has a deep meaning and is open to interpretation. According to Joseph Campbell, the author of the book The Power of Myth, as cited in Psychological Today, the meaning of I love you can be divided into three types: Eros, Amor, and Agape.

These three meanings have different implications, KLovers. In the first sense, Eros is the sexual expression of love without emotional and spiritual components. Second, Amor is the lifelong feeling of physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual connection. And thirdly, there is Agape, which is a universal love where two lovers submit to it.

Therefore, the phrase I love you can be a dangerous expression to say, especially when trying to seduce a man or a woman. However, according to some experts, if someone says it without a clear intention or just says it without truly loving someone, it can lose its sincere meaning.

Although it can be a confusing expression, experts agree that I love you has both negative and positive aspects. On the positive side, I love you can be interpreted as love, care, friendship, and acceptance from someone.
