Ten ways to say ‘I love you’ in another language!

The sun is shining, we’re on holiday and you’re feeling the love. How about changing the way you say those three special words this week?

Love, Linguistics, & Likes

Love, Linguistics, & Likes

A study showed that most people say the phrase at 10pm on a Saturday night. We imagine wine and music might play a part in this finding.

So surprise your significant other with your new lingo skills…

1. French: ‘Je t’aime’
Pronounced: Zhuh tem
Some say French is the language of love, so tell your partner you love them this way.

2. Italian: ‘Ti Amo’
Pronounced: Tee-Ah-Mo
Speaking in Italian is possibly the easiest way to ring the changes.

3. Spanish: ‘Te quiero’
Pronounced: Te-key-aero
This makes us think of Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz. Make sure you roll the ‘r’.

4. German: ‘Ich Liebe Dich’
Pronounced: Ick-Lee-Bah-Dik
Stop sniggering at the back – get speaking!

5. Swedish: ‘Jag alskar dag’
Pronounced: Ya ellscar day
The Swedes are generally so hot, no? If you are single, take a weekend to Stockholm and keep this little phrase to hand.

6. Japanese: ‘Aishiteru’
Pronounced: Eye-Shee-Ter-U
Apparently people in Japan don’t use the phrase as much as we do, mainly because of cultural differences.

7. Dutch: ‘Ik Hou Van Jou’
Pronounced: Ick-How-Van-Jow.
Dutch is a pretty tough language to master, but practice makes perfect people.

8. Chinese (Mandarin Version): ‘Wo Ie Ni’
Pronounced: Woah-eye-nigh.
Chinese Mandarin is all about the tones, so make sure you say it correctly, else you might be saying something completely different.

9. Greek: ‘S’ Agapo’
Pronounced: ‘Sag-a-po’
This phrase dates back to ancient Greece and refers to deep unconditional love. Aah!

10. Portuguese: ‘Eu te amo’
Pronounced: Eiu chee ahh-mo.
To add emphasis you can say ‘I love you with all my heart’, which is said as ‘Eu te amo com todo meu corao’.

Bonus – whisper ‘colourful’ at someone across the room… trust us.

Ohh! We are feeling all gooey inside! Any other language tips for us? Tell us @lovestruck
