뜻
Expressing strong affection.
문화적 배경
The 'Three-Month Rule': Many Germans wait several months into a relationship before saying 'Ich liebe dich' for the first time. In Austria, 'I hab di gern' is a very common and warm way to express affection that sits between 'liking' and 'loving'. Swiss German speakers often use 'I ha di gärn' or 'I liebe di', with the latter being reserved for very serious romantic contexts.
Don't over-use it
If you say 'Ich liebe' everything, it loses its impact in German. Use 'Ich mag' or 'Das ist toll' for variety.
The 'Es' Rule
When loving an activity, always include the 'es': 'Ich liebe es, zu [Verb]'.

3 질문Yes, it is very common for pet owners to use 'Ich liebe dich' or 'Ich hab' dich lieb' with their pets.
No, it is not formal; it is intimate. However, it is grammatically standard German.
'Lieben' is the deep, long-term emotion. 'Verliebt sein' is the 'butterflies in the stomach' phase of a new relationship.
