I'm just wondering how do other people in different countries say "I Love You" in their own native language. I'm just interested to know other ways to tell my loved one that I love her. YOu may also tell how to pronounce the word so that many would get how to say it

Thanks a lot for those who responded.
LOL

In the Philippines - "Mahal kita"

Wo ai ni - Chinese

French : Je t'aime
(If you're not intimate with the person : Je vous aime)

Aku cintaimu : the national language of Malaysia.

Aishiteru: Japanese

Te iubesc - Romania(pronunce it as you read it)- My Native Language
Ich Liebed ich(ish lib ed ish) - German[not sure if its written correct but the pronunciation is correct

Aku Cinta Kamu(v.1.1)
Aku Mencintaimu(v.1.2)

Aku Sayang Kamu(v.2.1)
Aku menyayangimu(v.2.2)

Indonesia(Doesn't include those from local language, too many to mention)

In italian "ti amo"

Never knew what it was in Romania, cool. Just a little precision, in German, it's actually written "Ich liebe dich"

Well, I'm French so, I also say : Je t'aime... In Japanese "aishiteru" (or more polite "aishite imasu") is good, but it's maybe too strong, I think most Japanese would go for a slightly less strong form like "Anata ga suki (desu)". At least, that's the one I hear the most often. And in Spanish : "Te quiero" if I remember well...

spanish - te quero

Polish
kocham cie (something like "koham tchie")

Russian
ja tiebja lublu (ya tyebya loobloo)

Sorry I'm not really good at phonetic

"Te quiero" is Spanish indeed, but for a more tender, gentle feeling towards someone or something. To express you love someone or something is "Te amo" ^^ This is really interesting! =D Let's hear about more languages! ^^

ngoh ngoi lei/nei - cantonese
wo ai ni - mandarin

In Spanish is actually: "Te Amo"

"Te Quiero" is not as deep as: "Te Amo" and is usually used by friends or people who cares for each other...not for couples who are in love XP

So the correct translation of I Love You is: "Te Amo"

Chinese Characters - 我爱你

Mandarin - wo ai ni
Cantonese - au oi nei
Shanghainese - au eh noong

Ich Liebed ich(ish lib ed ish) - German[not sure if its written correct but the pronunciation is correct

the pronuncation is incorrect too ^^"

Ich liebe Dich (normally only couples are saying that or if you confess to your loved one)
or
Ich habe Dich lieb (for friends who are caring for each other and also parents are saying that to the children)

Ich is not "Ish" ... thats incorrect ... the "ch" is more like the "tch" but a bit more softer than that ... hard to explain .. the other words are pronounced how they are written here .. nothing really special ^^

In Slovak language:"l'ubim t'a" ~
In Czech language: "miluji t'e" ~
In Polish language: "kocham cie" ~
In japan i think could be used also this: [:ski des:] ~
Good luck by saying i love u

Quote by limes-eyeAku cintaimu : the national language of Malaysia.

Variation:
Aku cinta padamu

Ik hou van jouw = Dutch for ''I love you'' (pronouncing it is a bit difficult to explain but here go's = 'hou' is pronounced as how, the 'a' of ''van'' is pronounced as how an adience would say ''ahhhhhh'' for something touching and the ''ou in jouw'' is pronounced as auw) I hope you can understand this all

I can tell you the latin one: "Te amo" (or "Amo te", the order doesnt matter in this case)
The pronunciation is like it's spelled the 'e' in "te" is pronounced about like the 'a' in "admire" (the actual sound for 'e' doesnt exist in english i think, if someone knows, please post =3 ) ; the 'a' in "amo" like "ahhhhh" as someone said for another language above, the 'o' like in "offer".

In portuguese----»Eu te amo

in Norwegian: Jeg elsker deg

In spanish, it does matter...

Is "Te Amo", not "Amo Te"

The sound of "e" is like in Emerald, and the "T" is quite the same with french and italian "T".

"Amo", is pronunciated as in "Amity", and the final "o", you can pronuncite it as in "Floor", or Blood.

That's all.
