Αγαπημένος: loved one and favourite
Αγαπημένος is a passive participle of the verb αγαπώ (= I love). As you may know, participles are fully declinable in modern greek.
So, one meaning of this participle is the "loved one". It can be used for a relationship that is strong, ie relatives, friends, partners, relationship etc.
Αυτό είναι ένα πολύ ωραίο δώρο για τους αγαπημένους σας. = This is a great gift for your loved ones / Este es un gran regalo para tus seres queridos.
But this is not this participle's most common use. Its primary use is to convey the meaning of favourite in english or favorito in spanish.
Αυτό το ποίημα είναι από τα αγαπημένα ποιήματα της μητέρας μου. = This poem is one of my mother's favorites. / Este poema es uno de los poemas favoritos de mi madre.
So, in english and spanish, you favour something over other things, whereas in modern greek you love it.
