is it translated right?

dexterd · (#1 (**permalink**))

hi everyone,
i want to give a collier to the girl i love (and (wich i just found out) loves me too).
Since she is (just like me) hooked to japanese anime & manga, i thought of the idea to add the words: "I love you", but then in japanese...
I tried google translate, and it showed me this:
私はあなたを愛して
fonetical it says:
Watashi wa anata o aishite

(since im hooked to anime&manga i know these words, but dont know if the sentence is right)
I know google translate's translations are crappy, thats why im searching for help.

Does anyone know how to write "I love you" in japanese?

thanks in advance,
dexterd

Take your pick based on your circumstances: “i love you”の検索結果（458 件）：英辞郎 on the Web：スペースアルク

Yours is not correct, though.

今あなたを愛して
is this the right one (when i look at the sentences, i dont know where the words "i love you" stop, and when the other part of the sentence starts..)

I dont want her to read i love you now (means temporarely) when she translates it back to english/dutch

thanks for the reply and the link (i would never have found it, couse its half japanese, and although i like the language, i dont know how to read it..)

ps: i chose this one:
# I love you now, and I'll love you forever.
今あなたを愛してるし、永遠にあなたのことを愛するでしょう。

Is it me, or does the でしょう seem odd in that sentence?

Not only you, it sounds more like the weatherman forecasting for next week.

There are lots of ways to say it. That isn't wrong, it just depends on your situation.

ok. thx :P
as long as its not a wrong sentence, im ok with it :P

now im wondering: in which situation would this 1 be said? (or is that hard to tell (i cant read japanese at all, while i can understand quite a few words))

thanks!
