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]

holy crud...did you use a transloator or did you know all that? because i only know 10 ways of saying "i love you"...uhh...french..english...cahmir...japanese...spanish... italian... and that's in T_T.

[Bash]

whoa, dude... lol

did you get that list from somewhere did you somehow compile it all yourself? o.O

thanks for sharing lol

[NeXDesigns]

wow, yeah i knew a few of those, like german, italian, spanish, and english (my first language)
Ich Libe Dich, is how i thought it was spelled, anyway,
Thanks, very useful for those forign friends of mine, lol

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")
