Do you wanna see links to particular web sites (such as "naughty America" or "banned from the UK")  |
Do they use sexy English there? |

I definitely think "I love you" is more romantic than "Aku cinta kamu"(I love you in Malay). I don' t know why but I am not comfortable with romantic words in Malay.
Talk later,

Hello again Nina,
I agree with you, English language is more Romantic than my native language.
It sound so Corny when someone you love tell you his/her feelings in a native way, in our language "i love you" is being express this way "mahal kita" but,
nowadays, "i love you" is being throw with out a meaning.
wanna agree with me? |

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. |

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? |
