我爱你 vs 喜欢 vs 我想你

Similar and easily confused words, and how they differ.

• 喜欢 xǐ huan to like

  As a confession, 我喜欢你 'I like you' is the lighter, commoner opener; 我爱你 is deep commitment.

• 我想你 wǒ xiǎng nǐ I miss you

  A different feeling — 想 is 'miss/think of', easy to confuse at sentence level.
