I’ve been told that in Tamil it would be considered very weird if you used the same word to say you “love” your spouse and you “love” your children

  Which makes sense, as English doesn't have a word to delineate between Familial Love and Romantic Love. This is more a fault in English than it is a quirk of Tamil.

    You could say you adore your spouse and love your children… and it might sound odd in English to say you love your spouse and adore your children.
