    Great Idea!
    Glad to add portuguese to the list:
    Te amo (muito)- I love you (very much)
    Saudades/Estou com saudades (de voce)- I miss you (hard to translate exactly but along those lines)
    Meu amor-My love
    Beijos--kisses
    namorado=boyfriend
    namorada-girlfriend

        I can do some of these phrases in sign language!

        I Love You= two ways to do this one:

        Method one: put your ring and middle fingers down and keep the other three fingers straight up.
        Method two:
        I- point to yourself
        Love- put your arms in an X across your chest (like you're hugging your boyfriend/girlfriend!)
        You- Point away from yourself

        I Miss You:
        I- point to yourself
        Miss- Touch your chin with your right index finger
        You- Point away from yourself

        I want you here with me:
        I- point to yourself
        Want- bring your cupped hands toward you, palms up (like bringing your boyfriend's/girlfriend's hands toward you)
        You- Point away from yourself
        Here- With both hands flat and palms up, move your right hand clockwise and your left hand counterclockwise.
        With- With both hands in fists and the thumb resting on top, bring the two hands together, palm to palm.
        Me- Point to yourself.

        Kiss= place your fingertips on your mouth and then on your cheek.

        Good night=
        Good- touch your lips with your right hand and then place it, palm up, on the palm of your left hand.
        Night- rest the wrist of your cupped right hand on the back of your open left hand.

        Good Morning=
        Good- touch your lips with your right hand and then place it, palm up, on the palm of your left hand.
        Morning-fold your arms (a la I Dream of Jeannie- one on top of the other) and then bring your left arm up (like the sun is rising)

        Sweetheart= just like "with", except with the fists coming together at the fingers (like they're punching each other), put them close to your heart, then bend and unbend your thumbs.

        It's kinda hard to use these in your IM sessions, but you can use these on your webcam sessions and impress your significant other!

          I love you = Saya Cintamu
          more polite version... Saya Cinta Padamu

          ALSO here is a website with a list of saying I love you in all languages

            I know the sign language alphabets, me and my friend used to talk with them when we didn't want anyone else to know what we were saying!

                I have no idea how to say anything in another language then my own, I just wanted to say that it is so neat to read through all these.

                        I'm a Cherokee Agesigwa(mix-blood), so here are some phrases from my ancestors. =) In Cherokee (to my knowledge) there is no word that means "I miss you," because goodbye means "until we/lets see each other again."

                        I love you - Gvgeyu (Guh-Gayy)
                        Goodbye - Donadagovi (Doe-Nah-Dah-Go-Huh-Ee)
                        Goodmorning - Osda (Oh-Sss)
                        Goodnight - Osda Svoi (Oh-Sss-No-Eee)
                        You're an Angel - Nihi Adawehi (Knee-He Ah-Dah-Way-He)
                        You're My World/Everything - Nihi E'-Lowi Aya (Knee-He Ay Ah-Yaw)
                        I Promise - Aya Aduyastodi (A-Yaw-Ah-Dew-Yaw-Sss-Dee)

                              Since in Spanish it's been said a couple of time already, I'll say it in Catalan it's the language we have here in Catalonia, apart from Spanish, of course.

                              I love you = T'estimo
                              I miss you = Et trobo a faltar
                              My love = El meu amor
                              Kisses = Petons
                              You're everything for me = Ho ets tot per mi
