We had to choose this word for the most romantic day of the year!

Enamorado means love and is used with the verb estar to describe being in love.

  • Estoy enamorado de ti.

       I'm in love with you.

Here are some examples of how to use this word:

  • Nunca había visto a mi hermana así con un hombre, la veo muy enamorada.

       I had never seen my sister like that with a man, she looks totally in love.

 

  • Fuimos a ver cuatro casas diferentes. ¡La última me tiene enamorado!

       We went to view four different houses. I fell in love with the last one!

There are plenty of songs that include this word, here we give you this from Regaetton stars Wisin & Yandel, in which we see lyrics like:

Estoy enamorado
Te lo quiero confesar
Totalmente ilusionado
Me la paso pensándote
Nunca voy a soltarte

 

I'm in love.

I want to confess it to you.

Totally psyched.

I think about you all the time.

I'm never going to let you go.

To finish today's special Valentine's Word of the Day, we have a poem by Gabriel Celaya, which uses the word beautifully. 

 

A veces me figuro que estoy enamorado

A veces me figuro que estoy enamorado,
y es dulce, y es extraño,
aunque, visto por fuera, es estúpido, absurdo.
Las canciones de moda me parecen bonitas,
y me siento tan solo
que por las noches bebo más que de costumbre.
Me ha enamorado adela, me ha enamorado marta,
y, alternativamente, susanita y carmen,
y, alternativamente, soy feliz y lloro.
No soy muy inteligente, como se comprende,
pero me complace saberme uno de tantos
y en ser vulgarcillo hallo cierto descanso.

Pronunciation:

 E-na-mo-ra-do
