Cute, but the forced capitalisation of the first letters of each word destroys the meaning of the phrase in many non-English languages. Particularly in eastern languages, you might end up saying something you really didn't mean!

amo te - i loveyou (singular)
amo vos - i love you (plural)

Sorry, but in Spanish is correct t say "Amo-te" and Latin isn't a language. Did could try to use "portuguese" to, for explain this, besides te portuguese language are spokes by many people on earth. (maybe more than 250 million).

In portuguese, is "Eu te Amo". Sorry my poor english. I don`t like it, but it is necessary.

Quem sabe, você aprenda que as línguas são simples, um dia

No dude. In spanish it is "Te amo" or "Te quiero". And in Portuguese it is "eu amo-te". what you posted is brazilian portuguese that is a twisted version of the original good one. Chill. Dont say things you dont know.
(Note: i was born in Argentina (official language: castillian, spanish with very little differenceswink I'm living in Portugal since 1999, that makes 5 years and i know what im talking about
