ceigered:Was it the Greeks that had several words for love, each with a difference nuance?Yep—ερως, αγαπη and φιλια, and I think another rarer one.

Donniedillon:Can I amas all of those things too, or would that be incorrect usage of ami ?It's funny you ask that, because as an English speaker you have two verbs for that : to love and to like. For example, in French there are only one verb for all the usage of love/like (which is aimer).
From what I read (I'm maybe wrong), on the beginning in eo they only had ami, and some peoples complained and wanted to distinguish between peoples and objects. So they came to used ŝati for objects.
