learning useful japan words
 

hi all
please tell me
how do i say i love you on japan language ?
:rheart: :vsign:

I am pretty sure this is it:

愛してる。

I am a beginner myself so I am not 100% sure though.

あなたがだいすきです。

I think...

anata ga daisuki desu.... although it might just mean i really like you haha

I have to improve my japanese a lot yet but what I know you can use...

Ai shiteru ->If you're really serious about it, because is the the strong way to say it.

Anata ga daisuki desu -> I like you

Anata wo muchu nanu -> I'm crazy about you

But as I said, I have to improve my japanese a lot yet, so wait to see how other people say^^

Also saw that boys say a lot "daisuki da yo (I really really like you)" instead of I love you

What everyone has said so far is true. However, using あなた、kind of sounds as if you were a middle aged house wife talking to your husband.

I think a far better way to say it, is just to use the persons name followed by あいしてる　or だいすき。あなた　just sounds either too formal for a romantic situation, or as i said before like an older couple with a wife who still uses traditional けいご　(honorifics) to her husband.
Also just want to point out that japanese allows for a lot of indirectness. You don't have to state exactly who you love. It should be obvious from the situation. when you say愛してる、its obvious you are referring to the person sitting in front of you. Same goes with 大好き。

Hearing 'I love you' from a Japanese person is rare. Even before we got married, my wife never said it. You will almost never hear spouses say it to each other and you will probably never hear it in public. It's more about your actions ;). If your significant other understands English, it would probably go down better and be less awkward if you say 'I love you' in English. Just my 2 cents.

I've got mixed feelings about this "Japanese people never say I love you". My girlfriend says it all the time in both languages.

If you don't know how to say "I love you" in Japanese yet, then you're probably not ready to be saying it to someone! Just my 2 cents

Aishiteru (yo) is just fine.

It depends who you are talking to. Some girls will swoon, others might run screaming.

I wouldn't "play around" with aishiteiru for the same reasons you said.

If you are a dude, just say suki. That says volumes.

Oh, this is a dude? For sure, suki is great. Doesn't sound like you're head over heels for her, which makes girls crazy in a good way. But if you're not a fluent speaker, saying something deep in her language will sound more cute than romantic to most girls, methinks. Like "aww, he's trying his best!" :D

I just know some girls hear aishiteiru as "I am ready to give my life for you" which can be a little much, especially for a teenager or someone who is just dating.
