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!" ("teamabo"/"amabo te") in supplication, and "I love you!" ("teamo") when they were expressing gratitude. Latin "amare" has a broader semantic range than English "to love", and so can be a semantically "weaker" or, perhaps, less intense verb. Amare 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.
1At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to"). 2At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
