I bet Phantom only started this thread, so he could have us all utter our affection for him. I mean he started the thread, and everyone is just adding countless "I Love You's". That's clever

.

Yasho,

But what about us, being man??

Will he like this from us as well??

If any regional piddling is allowed, a Haryanvi may have rather striking and texan way of professing love or saying I love you – Tu manne badi suthri laage say or a Punjabi saying – oye hoye soniyo main mar jawan tuhade the, which literally means “oh dear I will die for you’ but may mean anything from ‘there is a barley field yonder there’ to ‘will you be granny of my great grand kids?’

Hippie is a State of Mind; not a cult of Bounders.

Ek lief vir jou - lief as in leaf, vir as in firr, jou - yoh!!!!

'Their people will judge them on what they can build and not what they destroy.
To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent,
know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are
willing to unclench your fist." ~ Barack Obama.

Ahhh! a memory strikes back from the 70's when my late husband and I lived in the middle east....he with the CANLOG UN in Lebanon and me by the shores of the Kinnereth in Israel.

In Hebrew, I love you is:

Anee o chev otach (to a gent)

anee (as it sounds) o chev - o hev (with the gutterall sound of the german language) and otach - ota and the ch gutterally

Anee o chev ata

(to the ladies...) same as above and the ata is just that!

I think that Hebrew is a wonderful language, it has the fluid romance of French and the more harsh pronounciation of the german language - no offence to our German members intended :-) mixed in together!

To bump this thread and because love is in the air!
In Dutch:
Ik hou van jou - pronounce - Ik as in thick, hou as in how, van as in bar, jou as in how.

Te Amo - in Spanish

My question is why is it harder to say it in one's own mothertongue?
