Do some love their parents and kids or not? 🤷🏻‍♂

The problem here is actually with the world "LOVE". English purposely doesn't separate the meanings.

Yet in Greek there is nine different types of love.

@DeWayfarer I was thinking the same.

In Norwegian we say "glad i deg" to relatives we care about, but "elsker deg" to partners.

I guess "glad i deg" could be translated to "I'm fond of you" or "care about you" but all subtitles translate both to "I love you" every time.

@TheRealBarbossa Oh English it gets worse.

I "LOVE" to drink coffee! 😆

Just no separation at all.

It's used to express any extreme positive situation.
