Native Spanish speaker here.
Directly translated as “I want you” but it is often used as a casual “I love you” among Spanish speakers. Usually used with parents, siblings, friends, etc.
Meanwhile “Te Amo” is considered very intimate and usually only used with a partner. Even then it may only be said sparingly or during intimate moments such as the first time someone says I love you. Spanish speakers usually revert back to using “te quiero” or even saying “i love you” if both parties speak mostly English

1. The expression "i love you" is the equivalent for both spanish "te amo" and "te quiero". "Te Quiero" can be said to everybody, BUT! "te amo" is used for a boyfriend or girlfriend.
2. You can say "te amo" to a friend, if both of you know that there's no sexual/physical attraction, in that case is the same as "te quiero".

If you don't already know that
(Te Ataahua), is the Maori word for The Beautiful, if you know a girl named Te Ataahua, just know that she is a really kind and helpful,
If she looks scary don't mind her she just been through hard time but really Te Ataahua is a nice girl
So if you know a girl thats Te Ataahua just kick back and chill out cause she's a fun person to be around.
