What does it mean: Ter Amor Amora

[BigSlideHimself]

I was curious what the above phrase means. Now, I know Amore or Amora means love.

Also, I might not have gotten the phrase right. I remember it was 3 words, the first started with a T, three letters, another word, I'm pretty sure started with an A, might have been Amor, and I'm almost positive the last was Amora. I suppose it's Spanish, so I'm wondering if there's some common phrase that looks sort of like the one int he subject. Thanks all.

Or it might have been some other language, I know Amor is love in a few different languages.

Well, as written it isn't spanish, though it's close. It might have been something like \"te amo amor\" or \"te amo mi amor\" Both of those would mean \"I love you, my love.\" The second is a lot more feasable than the first- the first is incorrect grammar. I'd guess that maybe you heard portugese.

Unless if it's from a song....

Yes, Snoop, that's what it was Te Amo Amor, thanks alot man

[DCrazy]

snoopy: how is \"te amo amor\" incorrect grammar -- aside from maybe missing a comma? \"Te amo, amor\" == \"I love you, love\", with love meaning one who is loved, not the abstract concept of love.

Thank God I never have to speak that language again.

Could it be Latin?

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie - that's AMORE!
When the sun seems to shine like you've had too much wine - that's AMORE!

...\"When the stars make you drool joost-a like pasta fazool - that's amoré!
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet, you're in love...
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreamin', signore...
'scusa me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that's amoré!\"

Now you've got Dean Martin running (singing!) through my head... not that that's a bad thing.

When new lines hit your eyes
From two screens when they ply
That's a Moiré!

[Kilarin]

When you swim in the sea
And an eel bites your knee
That's a moray

He's a clown, he's a ham
His last name's Amsterdam
That's a Morey

If 'King Kong' has gone flat
Rent the flick Vampire Bat
That's some more Wray.\"

With a permanent tan
That's a Maori

Italian.

Same thing only different. ;D

[roid]

my guess is that Ter Amor Amora means something like \"the smell of love\".
might be a euphasism for spring.

It is Latin. Also, Italy was a big part of the Latin language. So Duper and Grendel are right.

Generally I've heard the "mi" thrown in there, I think mostly to break up the sentence. Generally, (at least in Mexico) they'll say "mi amor" for "love" in the one who is loved meaning. I'll ceded that I don't think it's technically incorrect, just less common.

Oy! Visions of Dean Martin singing/dancing down the street followed by a young (and annoying) Jerry Lewis...
