Translation of ’love’

Frank C.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

If I go to Wordreference to translate ’love’, I get 'aimer' or 'adorer'.

Wordreference also translates ’like' as 'aimer bien' or ’aimer beaucoup' or just 'aimer'

I chose ’aimer' in ”I loved celebrating Halloween like that.", which was not accepted.

Could you explain why ’aimer’ is wrong? Thanks.

Using aimer wouldn't be wrong. It's just that it sounds more neutral than adorer, which is a more emphatic expression.
