恋する: love. The Japanese verb '恋する (こいする)' means 'to love' in the sense of being romantically in love with someone. It conveys deep emotional attachment and longing, often associated with romantic relationships. This verb is used to express the feeling of being in love, rather than general affection or liking. For example: I fell in love with her「彼女に恋した」(かのじょにこいした). He is in love with his best friend「彼は親友に恋している」(かれはしんゆうにこいしている). Note that '恋する' is more specific than '愛する (あいする)', which can refer to love in a broader sense, including familial or platonic love.
