how do you say I LOVE YOU in your own language...

in Indonesian: Saya cinta kamu.

in Chinese: Wo ai ni.

in vietnamese: toi yeu ban.

in Dutch/Flemish: Ik hou van jou.

In my language which is Filipino/Tagalog:


Mahal kita meaning I love you
Mahal na mahal kita meaning I love you very much

In Philippines, we have more than 30 different dialects.

In Moroccan dialect: kanbghiik or kanhebek

In Romanian language: te iubesc

In my house, my children hug and kiss me without words...But i know they said " I love You " with their own word...

In Yogyakarta ( one of Indonesian Province ) we said " Kulo Tresno Karo Sampean "...that means " I Love You "

in malagasy, Tiko enao

I love this thread. It must be wonderful for someone to say to you "I love you" in any langauage.

As an aside. While learning spanish in Malaga some years ago I asked 2 chinese students how to say "hello, good morning" in chinses. They helpfully wrote it out for me and how to pronounce it. On saying it to a chinese friend in england my friend burst into laughter I had been taught to say "I love you!!!"

@ chacoman... i think its WO AI NI...IM REFERRING TO MANDARIN..HEHE

In my language: I love you.

In Scotland we would say, alright Mary Doll

Cecco you are correct, in Filipino I LOVE YOU is MAHAL KITA , I LOVE YOU SO MUCH is MAHAL na MAHAL KITA

But i beg to disagree with your definition of true love in the Philippines

In arabic we say
for female  to male - Ahibak
For male to Female - Ahibik

In Gujarati (one of the Indian language) we say,
"Hu tane prem karu chhu"

In marathi (one of the Indian language) we say,
"Mi tula prem karatoy"

In Bangali (one of the Indian language) we say,
"Aami tumake bhalo mashi"

In South Africa Afrikaans very much the same as Dutch is:  Ek is lief vir jou

In my language it is same i love you......

that is a nice topic

In Lao it is khoi hak jao

Ti Amo

Love in any language...

In Philippines Mahal kita or
               Iniibig kita

but whatever it is...once you have learned to speak it, it should be straight from the heart

[large][large]In russian we say  я тебя люблю
means i love you!

In vietnamese:
for female say: em yeu anh
for male say: anh yeu em

in portuguese: amo-te

In english its simply I love you .... In Romanian its Te Iubesc

In Palestine, we say bahebak

love is not a word to say
love is a feeling to display

an understanding, a feeling,
that comes with affection,
so whether its verbal or a gesture,
love without measure!

@ legacy I totally agree with you Love is referred to as being the " international language ", overriding cultural and linguistic divisions.

In Taiwanese language..." wa i li "

Well, it doesn't matter if what language you do say it, just give them a warm hug and that could make it all ok.
