Yes, absolutely! In most Spanish-speaking cultures, it's very common and doesn't necessarily imply romance.

Mostly, yes. You can use it for pets too. For objects, just use 'Quiero' (e.g., 'Quiero ese coche').

It varies, but usually after a few weeks of consistent dating when you feel a real connection.

'Mucho' just adds emphasis, like 'I love you a lot' vs 'I love you'.

Yes, it is the standard way to express affection in Spain, just like in Latin America.

Context matters. In a romantic/sexual setting, it can have that undertone, but usually, 'Te deseo' is used for 'I desire you'.

In Spain: 'Os quiero'. In Latin America: 'Los quiero'.

Not 'better', just different. 'Te quiero' is more common for daily life; 'Te amo' is for deep, serious love.

No! That would be very inappropriate in a professional setting.

It stands for 'Te Quiero Mucho'. The 'K' is used because it sounds like 'Qu'.
