I thought my user name made my gender clear...after all, if I was a female, I would've been inclined to operate under the name Cavewoman, but it's an understandable misconception, if I do say so myself

Anyway, thank you for the wonderful list. I only knew about three of those, so now I can start building on my extensive lexicon of romantic language (whether or not I'll be able to pronounce it correctly is a topic unworthy of discussion). Haha, very cool stuff dude.

[sandymc]

Hahahaha cool list, before i read this topics i though that you want have "i love you" in bahasa indonesia.... and i surprised that you have it completely....

Btw, i also have friend that remember those sentence ALL, LoL, is it useful? of course you don't only say Te DUa in albanian or Miluji tech in czech when your plane is transit there... LoL

Btw, when i was child. i mishear the word "excuse me", i think it is "i kiss me"... hahaha "i" "kiss" "me" is the only english word i know at that time

[Milk]

lol, whoa. That's awesome. I already knew how to say it in 3 of the languages. >_> but that's not saying much @_@

That's awesome though. I can now successfully go to around 100 countries and know a phrase I can say. Although if I went around saying "I love you" in the native language, I'm sure people would throw me in jail for some reason of insanity.

"I love you" in different languages:

Spanish - Te quiero / Te amo


This is cool, I went all the way to Costa Rica twice last year and didn't learn how to say it in Spanish I guess I didn't run into the right Tico!

Forums aren't just for computer help, eh?!

[alperuzi]

I can confirm the Turkish one is correct!

apart form that, a good resource!

[thebluekirby]

[Bash]

[Donegal]

Irish and Gaelic are the same language

Gealige is the Irish for.. Irish, I'm pretty sure gaelic was english..

Same was as they changed Dubh linn (black pool) to.. Dublin..

Or "I don't know" into an animal. (kangaroo originaly meant "I dont know")

[m33]

after saying all those 100 sentences to my girlfriend, i'm sure she has fallen asleep haha

[iwuvcookies]

wow some bored person not you probably had a bunch of time on their hands and did all this. I can't believe they have Vietnamese. I wasn't expecting it. Cool.... I don't think I would actually learn to say all this in all of the languages to my girlfriend. She would probably get bored by the 5th language. hahah.a

[Donegal]

You could try to say one every time at the end of phone calls.. allthough, once you get to a hundred.

You : Okay.. I love you, bye
her : What.. no foreign language good love me?
You : well.. I ran out.. or languages.
Her : So .. YOU DONT LOVE ME ENOUGH TO MAKE UP LANGUAGES?
You : no..
Her : HAH! I knew you where faking it.
You : no.. they're real.. I got it off some body on the internet.
Her : So.. your with some one on the internet?
You : ... no..
Her : .this script I got in the post makes me seem paranoid.
You : script?
Her : yea.. it came from.. some guy called Donegal.
You : ...
Her : It said to use it at the next phone call. .which is you.
You : I see.. is there are return address?
Her : Yup.
You : umm.. get a package ready, I'm going to get a pig's head at the butcher.
Her : What?
You : I mean.. uhmm.. *click*

Reply to "Donegal" who said "Irish and Gaelic are the same language

Gealige is the Irish for.. Irish, I'm pretty sure gaelic was english..

Same was as they changed Dubh linn (black pool) to.. Dublin..

Or "I don't know" into an animal. (kangaroo originaly meant "I don't know") "

_____________________

I found this: "Gaelic as an adjective means "pertaining to the Gaels", including language and culture.

As a noun, it may refer to the group of languages spoken by the Gaels, or to any one of the individual languages.

It is also the word commonly used in Ireland to denote the sport of Gaelic football.

Gaelic may thus mean or refer to:

* Goidelic languages - or "Gaelic languages"

* Irish language, or the derived Canadian Irish dialect
* Scottish Gaelic, or the derived Canadian Gaelic dialect
* Manx language "

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic ]

So Gaelic doesn't actually mean Irish by itself, if you want to say Irish, then call it Gaelige (pronounced as Gail-igg or Gail-ga), and both the Gaelic and Irish ones in the main text are Irish [just different ways of saying it],

"T� gr� agam ort" literally means "I have love at you" [There is no word for "have" in Irish, so it's actually "I love at me at you"]

And "T�I'm I' ngr� leat" means "I am in love with you", which is the closest to "I love you".

So there's only have 100 different languages [well, 99 because Pig Latin isn't really a language] of saying "I love you".

[Liam_CF]

Pretty cool list, thanks.

[ZaM0]

I'm really happy to see such long list of sentences, which are bringing peace to the world Happy to see the Bulgarian translation I confirm, that it is right, but if you want, write it in cyrilic - Here is how it must look - "Обичам те"

[lady]

Creole i love you can be "mo contan toi" or "mi aime a ou" or "mone gaté are toi"
you got so many ways to say it,hehe

[Bluebear]

The Norwegian one can also be like this:

"Eg elskar deg"


Almost the same. 8)

Thank you for this nice topic.

But you have made a little mistake incase of Bangla.

You wrote "Bangla - Aamee tuma ke bhalo aashi", here the last word aashi is wrong. A 'b' is omitted from that word. The correct word will be "baashi".

Another little mistake is "tuma ke". "Tumake" is a single word not separated like "tuma" and "ke".

So, the original line will be "Aamee tumake bhalo baashi".

Thanks again to include Bangla in your list. As a BANGALI (the people who talk in Bangla) I feel happy when I see Bangla in any foreign forum.
