Synonyms: dīligō, probō, approbō, comprobō

  ...rather, may you delight in these great triumphs, to be called father and the first man (of state), and may you not allow the Medes to ride unpunished while you lead, Caesar.
(with sē) to be pleased (with oneself), to be content
(with infinitive) to be accustomed (to), enjoy an activity
Synonyms: assuefio, fruor

- c. 185 BCE – 159 BCE, Publius Terentius Afer, The Eunuch :

- 68 BCE – 44 BCE, Cicero, Epistulae ad Atticum CXXIII, (The phrase raudusculo Numeriano, "Numerius' bit of coin", here refers to a small monetary debt assumedly having been owed by Cicero to Numerius, and paid for Cicero by Atticus):
  Dē raudusculō Numeriānō multum tē amō.
  Regarding Numerius' bit of coin I am very much obliged to you.

Usage notes

The ancient Romans were accustomed to saying "I shall / will love you!" ("tē amābō" / "amābō tē") in supplication, and "I love you!" ("tē amō") when they were expressing gratitude. Latin "amāre" has a broader semantic range than English "to love", and so can be a semantically "weaker" or, perhaps, less intense verb. Amāre was therefore appropriate for speech etiquette in situations of supplication or the expression of gratitude. Because of the semantic differences between the Latin and English verbs, and especially of the narrower semantic range of English "to love", a literal translation into English will in such cases (involving supplication or gratitude) inevitably appear strange. Accordingly, translators have ever resorted to expressions like "appreciate", "be thankful" and "be obliged" as a workaround, but in such cases the Romans actually meant "love" as they construed that emotion.
