International "I Love Yous" :)

[Naori]

dont know if posted yet but from when I was stationed in Korea I learned

saranghamnida= I love you
joahamnida = I like you

I am not sure i've heard it say this way..

I was taught..

sa/rang/hey/yo = I love you

and for thank you is..kan/sam/ham/ni/da

and I like is cho/why/yo

[ncyl]

Saiyan : means dear

actually, it's Sayang, not Saiyan.

[Swederica]

All i got is Swedish. I say that one sentence was done earlier. But i kind of choose not to see it

I love you - Jag älskar dig Yah elscar day (found it at some weird webpage and it's the best i find haha)
I miss you - Jag saknar dig Yah sacnar day (ok these suck :P)

Swedish got it's own pronounciation of the letters in the alphabet which makes it hell to try to teach Katelyn haha as she first must learn the individual letters, and especially Å, Ä and Ö :O

I liked this thread so I rescue it for add more words.

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

These words are perfect but we can add more. "T'estimo" is quite funny because every dialect has an own way for finish this word, only the ones who speak my dialect (north-westerner) say it of this way. T'estimo changes to "t'estimi" in north Catalonia (under french control), "t'estim" in Balearic islands, "t'estime" in Valencian country and "t'estimu" in Barcelona. And we can add "molt" for mean "much" (T'estimo molt = I love you much").

I like you (much) -> M'agrades (molt)
Good night (my love) -> Bona nit (amor meu)
For ever -> per sempre
I want you by my side -> Et vull al meu costat

Awesome Idea... For those who are brave, some guide of how to pronounce them would be spiffy.... here's the one I Love You I know how to say and write, other than english
Spanish~ I Love you~ Te Amo (Tay ahmoe)

O_O Does spanish "te amo" really sound like this to english-speakers? "Tay ahmoe"? O_o

I Miss You ~ T'extrano (the n needs the funny wavy thing but I don't know how to do that--- Tex-stran-yo)
Pretty sure those are spelled right....

I'm sorry but this one isn't completally right. Spanish doesn't save up letters and join words like that. It's "Te extraño", always "te", never "t' " in spanish. And you cay say "Te echo de menos" for mean "I miss you" too.

I miss you= Saya rindu kamu

I want to hug you = Mikham baghalet konam
I want to kiss you = Mikham beboosamet
Good night = Shab bekheyr
My dear = Azizam

How did I miss this thread for so long?

So since French and English happened long ago, here it is in Bambara which is my SO's mother tongue (it's a West African language)

I love you: N b'i fe

I miss you: I ni fama (which literally means "You and the long absence")

Good night blessing: Ala ka su here caya (literally: May God increase the peace of your night)

[lucybelle]

I'm sure Spanish has been done, but here's some COSTA RICAN! (we got some serious slang here)

pitos = kisses
guila = girlfriend
cabro/a = boyfriend/girlfriend (literally means goat)
machita = little white girl (a term of endearment)
zapito = little toad (a term of endearment)
gordo/a = fatty (a term of endearment)

That's all I can think of that relates to relationships. But there's plenty of other slang out there!! I already know Spanish, now I have to learn Costa Rican!!!

Woah. B b'i fe? It's so strange. How does "N" sound without any vowel?

[HollzHeartsChris]

I speak fluent Welsh

I love you - Dwi'n dy garu ti
I really like you - Dwi'n hoff iawn o ti
Love - Cariad

...there's so many things I could add, but I'd be here forever if I did :P

[Miramaid]

RUSSIAN:
I love you - Ya lublu tebya
Sunshine - solnishka
I miss you - Ya skuchau po tebe

[SDPersona]

Wow, this a really cool thread! German love words have already been meantioned, so there are only german sign language and afrikaans left now. So here some love words in AFRIKAANS:

I love you. = Ek is lief vir jou.
I love you so much. = Ek is so baie baie lief vir jou.
I miss you, my darling. = Ek verlang na jou, my skat.
Lekker slaap! = Sleep well!
See you later! = Totsiens! or Tatta! (more informal)
Honey, Sweetie = Bookie (literally means goat or doe, but it is very popular as an endearment)
Sweetheart = Liefde
Girlfriend = Stukkie
Boyfriend = Kêrel
handsome = mooi
beautiful = pragtig

[DemonxOisin]

Here's mine in Welsh:

Do you actually know Welsh? You have my utmost respect o.o

My SO is Mexican, so here are a few Chilango things, though some have already been said.
I love you - Te amo/te quiero mucho (often shortened to tqm/tkm)
I miss you a lot- Te extraño muchisimo (Ha! I totally changed my keyboard to Mexican xD)
Mi amor/vida/corazon/corazoncito/cielo/angel - My *insert pet name here*
How it hurts me - Cómo me duele
With me - Conmigo
Dulces sueños - Sweet dreams
Que Guapo! (k wapo [yes, my Spanish is terrible]) - How handsome!
Beso/Besote/Besito - Kiss/big kiss/little kiss
Abrazos - Hugs
Excitado/a - Horny (LOL Ironically, the first word he taught me in Spanish :/ Don´t ask :P)
Güey (wey) - Dude
And of course, Gato! - cat :3

To be perfectly honest, I´m better at swearing than anything :/

Here's some more ASL to add to the list!

You're Beautiful.
You: Point away from yourself (or at the person you are directing this to)
Beautiful: You know that thing where you tap your fingers so they make a drum roll noise? It's a similar move to that. With your palm facing your face, you close each individual finger starting with your pinky

You're Cute
You: Point at them
Cute: Take your middle and index finger and brush your chin twice (thumb just kind of sticks out chilling there, while the other fingers are closed.)

If you want to say SWEET, instead of cute, take all your fingers on your hand and brush them once (almost like you're stroking a small beard)

You're Awesome!
You: Point at them
Awesome: Take your hands and face them outwards like someone just told you to "stick 'em up!" Raise the roof two times. (Haha, just pat the air twice)

Falling in Love
(One of my ALL TIME favorite signs)
Take you Dominant hand and point it, and raise it up like you want to shush someone. Have your other hand flat, palm up at chest level.
Then, in a curve motion, take the pointed hand and make it fall onto your flat hand then bounce one.
(Almost like that hand is you, and you just hit the group and bounced!)

Another way I learned "Kiss" was to take your two hands, and actually *make* them kiss. You make your hands into an "O", then you tap them lightly together.

SEX:
Take your hand and make a "hook" (Point out your index finger, then bend it a little). Your "hook" should lay on your face right under your cheek (on the SAME SIDE as your hand... no crossing over!) then you lift it up, and lay it on your cheek.
It's a pretty quick motion.

If you want to make it SEXY, take that same sign, and then at the end at an ASL "Y" (which is the "hang loose sign", or just pointing your pinky and thumb out)


I made a video of everything we signed so people can see... I made one small mistake, but all I did was leave the "with me" off the "I want you here with me"... I want you here still makes sense! I guess I just read it wrong...
