olin is a core content word relating to love and emotional bonds.
Etymology
The word olin is derived from Croatian volim, meaning "I love".[1]
Semantic space
The semantic space of olin includes strong emotional bonds and affection, such as many kinds of love, be it platonic, familial, or romantic.[2]
mi olin e jan mimi olin e jan mi.
I love my partner.
The semantic space of olin does not map completely to the English concept of the word love and like. Notably, according to many speakers, olin does not include a inclination towards something; this is expressed with a longer phrase, such as [ni] li pona tawa mi ("[this] is good towards me") or mi la [ni] li pona ("for me, [this] is good"). Others are less restrictive. For example, in a thread outlining his thoughts on words, jan Misali says to "go ahead and use olin for whatever type of love you want."
