"Ti amo" is typically associated with lovers. But I also believe that family members use "Ti amo" as a way of expressing love for each other. For friends, I think a more appropriate phrase would be "Ti voglio bene." It's more of a "I'm very fond of you" kind of phrase, and does not necessarily imply romantic love. ______________________________________... EDIT: I was just taking a look on Yahoo Answers Italy (to verify my answer), and I actually learned that there is MUCH debate as to whether one should use "Ti amo" or "Ti voglio bene." EVERYONE is in agreement that "Ti amo" is appropriate to use with one's lover. And most people say that they use "Ti voglio bene" with their friends. It's more the family-term that is being debated. Most seem to say that they use "Ti voglio bene" with their parents. One girl even said that, if she ever said "ti amo" to her mother, her mom would probably ask if she was drunk lol. But not everyone agreed with this. I guess it depends on the family. But, in short, I would say that "Ti voglio bene" is the response you should use if you are "just friends" with someone. "Ti amo" definitely has a romantic connotation. Hope this helped :)

It means I love you. Amo is "love". Ti is "you". I is an understood pronoun.
