What does "I love you" really mean in fact?

[K1ngk0ng]

Dear respected teachers,

I've a question for you regarding that very popular exclamative sentence. Suppose I see a poster somewhere on the street that advertises a new movie called "I love you". So my question is, being a native speaker of English, what do you understand that film title? Are they the words a guy saying to his partner or they are from a girl saying to her partner? I'd like to understand something in depth.

Please help me get it sorted out.

Thanks

KK

The term "I love you" is not specific to gender. Any gender can use it to address either gender.

There are basically two types of love, although they're sometimes broken down further, but there is basically romantic love, and non-romantic love.

Since you can use the phrase for romantic or non-romantic love, it can be used regardless of gender of the speaker or person being spoken to.

So, you could love your spouse/mate (romantic love), and love your children, friends, family (non-romantic), but the same words are used, 'I love you'.

Thanks Skrej for your swift response. Suppose I am an interpreter escorting someone, so what do I interpret the term to him, I means, should I interpret the term as a romantic love or non-romantic one, please? You know what I means? :-

Thanks,

Where did you read or heard the term 'I means'?

The 's' after mean is only used in the third person singular, unless of course you talk about yourself in the third person; which I doubt as you refer to yourself as 'I'.

It was a wrong typing, Shyone. "I mean" was what I meant. I thought one thing and typed another. So sorry, I have learnt the lesson.
