Dear teachers,

I've watched the movie, Tuesdays with Morrie. There was a line said �I revel in it.� In the movie, it meant �I love it.� Can you tell me more ways to express I love something so much?

I am looking forward to your reply.
Thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Erin.

I has a couple of meanings, take a look:

And if you ever want some alternative words, have a look in a thesaurus!

It's a great way to learn new words, or if there's one you can't quite remember but you know another word with a similar meaning.

There are a lot of ways to say you love something - "I revel in it" has a feel of pure enjoyment, like someone dancing to a song they love, or a person who really likes to work under pressure. It's like saying "this is like a party to me". You could say something like "I live for it" or "I thrive on it", or "I relish this". You can also say you enjoy something, or you adore it, or that it completes you. There are a lot of ways to express human enjoyment!
