: In english there is only one word for the word love. However in the Greek Language there are different words for the word love. This IS NOT a lesson in the greek language...this is actually a cry for help. As far as I understand there are four words for the word love. If anyone knows what those words are PLEEEEZ please let me know what they are. I only know of one of the words...close to the spelling of this: Agape; and I don't have the faintest idea what that particular word stands for (meaning friend love, family love, object love, or romance love...please let me know of what goes with what)

: Thank you for you're help...and if this is the wrong place to go, let me know that too so in the future I won't look like an idiot again.
: Again I say thanks!
