How To Say "I Love You" In Different Languages (Real)

My "I Love You" List



    This article is a compilation of all the translations of "I LOVE YOU" I could find. The goal of this list was first a personnal goal, but I realised that it was significant to a lot more hitchhikers.

    If there is more than one version of a sentence, just choose the one that suits you best. The order was just a consequence of latinish alphabetic translation. And last, I don't understand even a single word of most of these languages, so please do not mess around with me.
