Well, it's February and eventhough my cat thread was a failure, I was wondering: How do you write 'I love you' in your language?
English: I love you
Malay: Saya cintakan awak
Swedish: Jag älskar dig
German: Ich liebe dich.
Hah, awesome. Googling for pages about this yields good stuff:
http://www.links2love.com/i_love_you_languages.htm
http://www.columbia.edu/~sss31/rainbow/i-love-you.html
Both those links botched up the Swedish line, though...
Also: 2GET.
German: Ich liebe dich.
More liek "I love dick"
Chinese
我愛你 (pronounced: lay low moe)
Spanish (1): Te amo
Spanish (2): Te quiero
(1) it means more love than (2), but (2) it all right too.
>>4
what
Wo Ai Ni!
request: pronunciation info in addition to spelling would be appreciated
Te : TE sound like TEN whithout letter "N"
AMO: A + MO. Where, A sound like A from APPLE. Only "A" without "PPLE". And MO, it sound like MO from MOTO. Only pronounced "MO" without "TO".
Then: TE(N) A(PPLE) MO(TO) = TE AMO
TE AMO = I love you in spanish
Kocham Cię.
(polish)
ton outil n'est pas satisfaisant, je te laisse
Japanese: 愛してる or Aishiteru
But this is really hardcore, usually people just say 大好き(daisuki).
French: Je t'aime
Dostet daram , دوستت دارم , I love you
aasheghetam , عاشقتم , I'm in love with you
>>4
What dialect of Chinese is that supposed to be?
Chinese (Mandarin): 我爱你
我 (wo): war, without the "r"
爱 (ai): eye
你 (ni): knee
Ich liebe dich.
Spanish has 2 ways of saying I love you
Te amo
100% I love you. Direct and powerful
Te quiero
50% I love you + Cuteness. People say that just to be cute or kind, although not necessarily in terms of absolute love. For example, friends can say that to each other; male to female, female to female, male to male.
Dutch: Ik hou van jou/je
English: I fuckin' hate you
Sarang Hae.
thats ii think in Korean..
anywayyy...
what's the difference of
大好き(daisuki) and 愛してる (Aishiteru)
Isn't aishiteru the most formal one?
..or am i wrong
>>20
I think daisuki is more casual, because it doesn't directly mention love. "daisuki", if directly translated, is like "great/large good coming".
>>21
It's more like "I like you very very much".
Suki is used to tell that we like something : neko ga suki=i like cats.
"Dai" means huge, big.
damn it's BIG love XD
Finnish : Minä rakastan sinua <3
Maybe some on can explain how to pronounce that,since i kinda suck in it!! xD(if you would be some semi-japanese semi-russian it would be easy to pronounce it)
>>15
He forgot the diu. Prolly some whitey.
It's in cantonese.
Philipino: Mahal kita. (Ma-hal kee-ta)
Esperanto: Vin mi amas. (Veen mee ahm-ahs)
The Esperanto one can be switched around...Vi means "you" and Mi means "I". As long as you put a letter 'n' on the end of vi (vin), then you can arrange the words any way you want...
Mi amas vin.
Vin mi amas.
Amas vin mi.
Mi vin amas.
Amas mi vin.
All of them mean "I love you."
Thai, modern, intimate, used by all genders: chăn rák thəə.
(Rising tone, high tone, mid tone. 'th' is an aspirated t (as in Thai), not a thorn or theta sound.)
LIthuanian: Aš tave myliu (the first word is pronounced 'ash')
Russian: ja liubliu tibia
Do it yourself with your mother, fag!
Didn't know that there some Chinese (at least some chinese immigrant-kids) lurking here around.
Wir müssen die Juden ausrotten! ♥
Welsh - Rydw i'n caru chi.
>>29
What's that supposed to mean? Aren't you Chinese or something?
Portuguese: Amo-te
Stressing "I": Eu Amo-te
it's Cantonese but doesn't mean i love you, it means 'your mom' and possesses the meaning of fuck your mother
>>35 isn't it ti-amo?
or ti-amo is spanish?
sagapo in greek
se agapo still greek
>>24
I'll try to type it how it's pronounced in English.
Minä rakastan sinua -> Mee-nah ra-kas-tan see-noo-ah
So that's how you pronounce it, although the letter "a" in "tan" and "kas" is pronounced more like the "a" in the word "what".
You can also say rakastan sinua, but it might not sound that good.
Elvish - Amin mela lle
French - Je t'aime
>>33
You just happen to know a couple of insults you mean.
Bak por..seriously...nay sow pei la. Cheh.
Japanese
ordinary: 愛してる(Aishiteru)
shy: 大好き(Daisuki)
They sound affected in Japanese.
But, they're so straight.
I think Japanese people is a little shy.
Uo yev oli
Ah love thee: Scots.
Oh look, it's February again.
Szeretlek (Hungarian)
tagalog:
mahal kita
No German yet?
"Ich liebe dich"
Я тебя люблю
>>35
in brazil: "te amo", pronounced 'chi um o' with a very weak o.
or "eu te amo", 'o chi um o'. ;)
Milujem ta. (Slovak)
我愛你 <--- Chinese Traditional in writing
I'm quite sure many know this, but it's pronounced in mando as 'wo ai ni'.
heh, i'm chinese too. as said from above, it's 我愛你. but in cantonese, it's pronounced "ngo oi nei"
Schwzyerteutsch (swiss german) :„Ich hat gäern für du...”
pronounce as: „Eeh haa GaiRn fooR doo” and to trill the "R".
literally translates as: "I have liking/fondness for you."
I LOVE YOU !! =
AKU SUKA KAMU, COOOK!!
All letters are pronounced as 'short' unless there are two same letters connected ie. fish -> fiish. Pronouncing is also quite 'sharp'. English is soft, French is soft, German is hardish, but Finnish is like raping the cat.
M as M in Michelin
I as I in Sit
N as N in Night
Ä as A in Dad [in finnish 'dad' would be written as 'däd' whilst 'fuck' would be written as 'fak' and 'now' would be 'nau']
R is 'hard' unlike it's english brother. One of Kylie Minogue's songs has a part where she does the kitten "purrrrr". That's pretty much it. Also [German] Dritte Reich does the trick.
A as U in Fuck or O in Now
K as K in Fuck or K in Skoda
A as above
S as S in Sodomy
T as T in Time [without the additional 'h' following the 't']
A as above
N as above
S as above
I as above
N as above
U as O in Fool [single 'o', keep it short]

Fun fact: English language doesn't have Finnish Y in it. English Y is pronounsed as J in Finnish.
Hope I got everything alright.
Jeg elsker dig ~ Danish :D erm... it's pronounced ...
Jeg = try swallowing your tounge ...it sounds kinda like that xD
elsker = punch your face while saying elephant
dig = diij kinda O___O
Jag älskar dig (<- pronounced Jag älskar dej)
j --- as "y" in Eng. "yes" (NEVER as in "jam")
a --- like a in Eng. "bar"
g --- as "g" in Eng. "get"
ä --- long: like "ai" in Eng. "fair"
l --- as in English (almost) [a bit clearer]
s --- like "s" in Eng. "summer"
k --- before a consonant or a hard vowel (a, o, u, å): as "k" in Eng. "keep", but more explosive
a --- like a in Eng. "bar"
r --- "rolled" like in Spanish, but not quite as forcefully
d --- like "d" in English, but less aspirated
e --- like the first "e" in "Elephant"
j --- as "y" in Eng. "yes" (NEVER as in "jam")
[Many pronounciations are taken from http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Swedish%20pronunciation]
Lycka till nu!;)
My mistake, English does have the finnish Y in it's pronounsing: NEW, written in Finnish would be NYY. So EW in NEW equals to double Y.
