A father to his young daughter: “‘Amare’ vuol’ dire volere bene bene bene benissimo.”
My best attempt at translation: “‘Love’ means to like somebody veryveryverymuchthebest.”
(because “volere bene” (lit. “want well”) means love, but the parent/child/brother/sister/friend kind of love, and “amare” means amorous love).
We need more precise words in English.
