Hi Mia,

In my language, 'mahal' means 'expensive' and 'kita' means 'us/we'. Maybe love is priceless?

Anyway, in my opinion, the expression 'I love you' is only thrown away by men (father, uncles, grandpas excluded). The funny thing is, there are men who never learnt to say it either.

Hello lieka mia,

I would say that most people don't necessarily attach a romantic notion to sweet (or cute) things/people. You could ask your father whether he thought of you as romantic when he called you 'sweet'. It was probably he who was being romantic when he said you were sweet Wink

not sure if anyone's done this yet, but let's look at different ways to say "I love you". Here are some I know -- spellings in some will be approximate or (in the case of Russian) an attempt at phonetics:

English: I love you
French: J' taime
Spanish: Te amo
German: Ich liebe dich
Italian: Ti amo
Russian: Ya dipa looblyoo
Klingon: Tok urk uck

hehe

Which sounds the most romantic?
