There are so many ways to let someone know that you love them. One popular way is to say "I Love You" to your sweetheart. If you want to tell someone you love them in an interesting way try saying "I Love You" in a different language. Here are ten different ways to say "I Love You" to the one you love.

1. French: "Je t'aime"

Some say that French is the language of love. To tell your loved one "I Love You" in French simply say "Je t'aime". To say "I Love You Very Much" you can say "Je t'aime beaucoup".

To pronounce "Je t'aime" say it like this: Jah-tEM. The Jah sounds similar to the g in protégé.

2. Italian: "Ti Amo"

Saying "I Love You" in Italian to your sweetheart is as easy as saying "Ti Amo". If you want to tell your parents or children "I Love You" in Italian it is actually translated differently as "Ti voglio bene".

To pronounce "Ti Amo" say it like this: Tee-Ah-Mo. "Ti voglio bene" is pronounced as Tee-Voh-Lee-Oh-Ben-Ney.

3. German: "Ich Liebe Dich"

I spent almost four years living in Germany while serving in the U.S. Army. One of the first phrases in German that I learned was "Ich Liebe Dich" which translates to "I Love You".

To pronounce "Ich Liebe Dich" say it like this: Ick-Lee-Bah-Dik. It is my understanding that in other areas of Germany it is actually pronounced Ish-Lee-Bah-Dish. The first pronunciation is the one that I had learned while living in a small town called Ansbach.

4. Korean: "Saranghayo"

This one I have had a lot of practice saying. My wonderful Mom is Korean and grew up in the countryside of Korea as a child. To say "I Love You" in Korean you would say "Saranghayo". While there are websites that mention different ways of saying "I Love You" in Korean, this is the one and only version that my family uses.

To pronounce "Saranghayo" say it like this: Sah-Rong-Hay-Yo.

5. Japanese: "Aishiteru"

Thanks for sharing this... I learned the Japanese when I was little and a neighbor had an exchange student from Japan that taught us all kinds of saying but the one that stuck with me all these years was I love You! Great Article!
