I want to learn it from you mylotters. I know we have different origins and nationality. We do have different languages. And different native lands. Please tell me how to say it in your own place or origin or country. Thanks and God bless!

Another new for me. Thanks for sharing this. In Tagalog our Filipino language we say "Mahal Kita" while in our city we have our own dialect and we say it "Gihigugma ko Ikaw" or "Nahigugma ko nimo". God bless!

In English, of course, it is "I love you", in Spanish, which is fast becoming a second language in the U.S. it is "Te amo".

English is known as the universal language. Very familiar. While Spanish is very familiar in our country too because we were under the Spanish Colony in 1800 for more than 300 years. I am lucky that we did not get the chance to make Spanish part of our subject in language. I know it is our hard language to study.

Yes, you're right. There are lot of different languages. In my country it's "mahal kita". Funny to know, that sometimes people thought that if you're in a place like Philippines, they have only use one language but actually a not. They have actually different dialects in some places.

It is true. In the Philippines, specially that it have more than a thousand island, several dialect evolved. This is not only true in our country but also in some countries. Even if they have one big land, the tongue of the people according to a certain dialect differ. Thank you so much the your response my friend. God bless!

We do it in sign language. Hold your hand up with your middle finger and ring finger folded down, so your thumb, forefinger and pinky are extended. It means "I love you."

"I love you", we say it in my own local language as "Ginahugugma tika". You know here in Philippines we have many different languages.In every different place different language are also spoken. And in my case i speak visaya or cebuano. So "ginahigugma tika" is a cebuano dialect. Hope you learn something from me.:)

We do have different languages and different places of origin but there is one sure fire direct communication line to the soul in every language, touch. A hug, taking someone's hand, kissing someone's forehead, ruffling their hair. Saying someone's named can be a caress and a way to say I love you, we can look into someone's eyes and say it too. We rely too much on words, these words can be spoken to anyone anywhere and not mean anything. The eyes are the windows to the soul, in any language, in any country of origin. They don't lie.

Shakira said HIPS DON'T LIE, but I do agree with you that eyes can't lie. I am happy to read the ways to saying "I love you". The window of our souls it our eyes. An eye to eye contact can give us the hint of how someone truly feels. GOD bless!
