If you're asking to rephrase "I Love You" in english there are countless ways. I know in spanish "Te quiero" and the "Te amo" are similar but different. If you're asking to translate "I love you" in 11 languages ( Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish) go to: http://www.babelfish.altavista.com/

Other forms of expressing LOVE in English are:
I adore you. I long for you. I want you. I am here for you. I miss you. I wonder about you. I am pleased to be with you. I like the way you smell. I need you. I think of you. I hunger for your touch. I see you in my dreams. I dream of you. I agree with you. I cherish you. I enjoy you. I aknoledge you. I see you. I sympathize with you. I find you congenial. I dear you. I need you cupcake. I need you sweetie. I admire you. I adore you. I appreciate you. I care for you. I embrace you. I fancy you (in Brittish) I value you. I honor you. I hold you dear. I treasure you. I worship you. I venerate you. I hug you. I wish for you. In spanish it sounds beautiful "Te deseo" Which is kind of like I desire for you. etc etc...........
In english these expressions are rare because "I love you" is simply most common. But these other verbs are very common in foreign languages that really don't tranlate the same in English. For example in spanish there are many ways to say that you like or love a person. Such as "te aprecio" is a respectful praise while "I appreciate you" can be kind of dry and lack meaning sometimes sarcastic. Sorry to say but english is dry and too much sarcasm in US culture has dimishished the true meaning of beautiful expressions practiced in other languages. But since english has the most vocabulary than any other language you have the advantage of expressing yourself in english with wise word choice and idiomatic phrases.

I think you are talking about English phrases which mean I love you. I could be wrong but that is whay it seems to be. In English--I love you. I like you. I want you. I'm crazy for you. You rock my world. I can't get you out of my mind....
Really, you can just look for some love songs in the English language....

"Te quiero" is the informal or familiar way of saying it.
