agree  Ivone Dias: Em Portugal existe muito pudor no uso do verbo amar. Em muitos casos o correspondente à expressão 'I love (you)' é em português "gosto (de ti)" ou "gosto muito (de ti)" ou,em tom leve, "adoro(-te)". Um "amo(-te) é muito difícil de arrancar a um português!

Amo


Explanation:
In fact the infinitive is 'amar' and one would say 'amo-te' although currently one uses the verb to like: 'Gosto muito de ti' .
