Here are some interesting ways to say 'I love you'

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and couples across the world are gearing up for the special day. Valentine’s Day, also known as the day of love is celebrated every year on February 14. On this day, couples proclaim their love for each other and make special arrangements to make the day even more special. Most importantly, couples try to express their love to each other by saying ‘I love you’—the three magical words that hold a lot of significance in terms of love. On this special occasion, here is how you can say ‘I love you’ in 15 different languages.

8/16

Chinese

“我爱你” (wǒ ài nǐ)

When the Chinese propose their love to each other, they rarely say ‘wǒ ài nǐ’ because it comes out as too strong. But one can always make their partner feel extra special by saying this. People usually go more for ‘I like you.’

9/16

Japanese

“ 愛してる” (aishi teru)

In Japanese culture, love is seen as a very strong feeling and people are encouraged to express their love more often. But when the Japanese utter ‘aishi teru’ it means they really want to be committed to their partner.
