Love is a universal language. Everyone understands this feeling. The word love is used in several contexts be it for an object or whether it is someone closest to your heart.

However it appears like English speakers perhaps uses “I love you” a bit lightly. Anywhere in this world, the word “Love” is considered a serious, and meaningful thing, which is not available easily in this world.

If you are thinking how lovers across this diverse world express this beautiful feeling, then you need to read this further.

Here takes a look at how people from several countries say “I Love You”. After all this blog may also help you to impress a potential love interest you may come across sooner or later.

So, let us take a look at some of them.

Je t’aime ((Language: French)

Certainly, the better way to begin this amorous list than with French and by extension Paris, the City of Love. People from every corner of the world travel to Paris to fall in love, with the food, the place and, the food and of course, the people. If your beau is of the French persuasion, simply say, “Je t’aime.”

You do not even need flowers or chocolates for this one. Just say it with wistful eyes, a brightening smile, and a face that says, “I really do love you,” and you will be all golden.

You can also cap the line with the French for “my darling” at the end, as a flourish, say “ma chérie,” if you are saying it to a woman or “mon chéri” if you are confessing your love to a man.

Ich liebe Dich ((Language: German)

Oppose to the common misconception of the “cold, calculating German,” the Deutsche actually know how to fall in love. Greatly.

The entire world is falling in love with them too. Just see the names like Heidi Klum, Claudia Schiffer and many more. So, if ever in this lifetime you see yourself falling for a handsome or beautiful German, be ready to say, “Ich liebe Dich.”

Have this one in your vocabulary. You never know what amazing kind of person you will run into in the streets of Berlin.

我爱你 (Wo ai ni) ((Language: Mandarin Chinese)

The Chinese have an old saying, “Lovers’ hearts are linked together and always beat as one.”

Romantic, correct? It is, but it is not referring to your happily-ever-after sort of romance. The line is from a melancholic poem where the writer expresses great regret for not having the chance to marry the love of his life. It is like two lovers destined to be together but got apart by unmentionable circumstances.

You never want to be in the same situation, do you?

Then what are you looking for?! Fess up and say, “Wo ai ni.”

Just a small warning though, “I love you” may come a little too strong in the Chinese culture. Parents and kids rarely say this to each other. So, for your confession and admiration, letting out an “I like you” is equally perfectly fine and would sometimes be more adequate. To do this, you simply say, “wǒ xǐ huān nǐ.”

Te amo ((Language: Spanish)

Spanish-speakers are without a doubt some of the most passionate people on God’s green planet. You can get that passion in their food, hear it in their music and you can certainly see that in their dances. Just watch out for some salsa, bachata, and tango routines to see what one means. It is that fierce longing-and-desire-that-can-hardly-be-contained kind of passion.

The sweet and simple words te amo great;u encapsulates that spirit, of lovers lost in each other’s arms. It is an informal pronoun used, expressing true intimacy. And Spanish-speakers do not toss amo around lightly, there are other ways of saying “like,” “like a lot” and “like-like” in that language. Amo is reserved for the actual purpose.

If you would like to put “forever” in there because you are completely sure they are the one you have to spend the rest of your life with, you can then say, “te amo para siempre.”

愛してる (Aishiteru) (Language: Japanese)

Do you know that, in Japan, women are supposed to give gifts on Valentine’s Day?

That’s correct! But do not worry ladies, the men have their own day a month later, March 14, on what’s known as White Day. Then they give presents of various types to their partners.

But that does not mean, in any way, that the Japanese culture is not conservative in terms of doling out the word love. In fact, “love” is a very strong word and expressions of “love” are not very generally in the Japanese culture except from those television dramas.

So, only use “Aishiteru” when you’re truly committed to the person you are saying this to. The Japanese do not take that one lightly.

But if you really wish to tell your partner how much you like them, you can try, “大好き” (daisuki), which means “I like you a lot.”

Ti amo (Language: Italian)

Everyone knows the language of Casanova—Italian—which is regarded by many to be the actual language of love.

If you ask women on Earth and ask them who the finest lovers are, the Italians would certainly be right there on top of that list. The typical Italian stallion has this aggressiveness and suave that many women find alluring. He has that single-minded purpose in life and that is to sweep completely you off your feet.

But, as say, like all stereotypes, this must not be taken really literally. Italians, irrespective of gender, all speak one of the most passionate languages around. They will charm their way into your heart.

So when you hear, “ti amo,” you would better watch out, that Italian is trying to make you fall in love.

मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हुँ (Main tumse pyar kartha hoon) (Language: Hindi)

Still the majority of Indians prefer arranged marriages. But do not fret, several say that love must be part of the equation.

And, by the, we are  here talking about marriage and weddings here in India (which, by the way, lasts nearly 3 days and at times involve the whole town and plenty of rituals and partying).

The bottom line is that “main tumse pyar karta hoon” is the phrase you require to express love to a woman. To express this emotion to a man, say, “main tumse pyar karti hoon.”

Я тебя люблю (Ya tebya liubliu) (Russian)

From Russian with love. We are sure all James Bond fans would agree that Russians know their way around the arts of love and seduction.

Take a leaf out from them and learn Russian for “I love you”: Ya tebya liubliu. (Say the last word 3 times fast, and it’ll begin to sound like “love, love, love.”).

This completes some of the lists for saying “I Love You”.
