Translation of ’love’

Question

In the sentence, "So, let's raise our glasses to the ones [whom] we love and to the future!", love was translated using aimer.  I chose adorer, which was not accepted.   I get this wrong all the time.  Generally, the problem is how to translate love versus like.  With regard to adore, is it that one adores something and not someone ?  Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

Hi Frank,
This is a widespread problem! 
In this case 'adorer' would be a bit over the top as you are not singling anyone/anything out that you 'love intensely', and in which case you would use 'adorer', just people one loves in general, when 'aimer' is correct.
