Cultural Tip
‘¡Adoro!’ is more common in Spain and among younger speakers; in Latin America people often prefer ‘¡Me encanta!’ or ‘¡Me gusta mucho!’ when talking about objects. When you adore a person, you normally say ‘¡Me tiene enamorado!’ or ‘¡Lo adoro!’ with the preposition ‘a’ (e.g., ‘Adoro a mi madre’). Remember to always use the opening exclamation mark in written Spanish – it’s a quick way to look more native‑like.
