Very OT: I love you in 10 languages
« on: January 30, 2004, 08:35:36 AM »
Hi all,

Valentine is around the corner. I'm making a booklet for my girlfriend and one of the pages is 'I love you' written in all languages I can find.  I so far manage to collect 'I love you' in 11 languages.

You can find 'I love you' in 100 languages at this site
http://www.links2love.com/i_love_you_languages.htm
but all is written is roman charactor. It tell you how 'I love you' sound in other languages but not in its charactor.

Feel free to use the image.


If you need in text. Feel free to drop me an email at
cmteng @ xoverload . com
[Just remove all the space in between]

If you know 'I love you' in any other languages, feel free to let me know. I'm interested in knowing how it's written in your language.  

Enjoy and world peace!!

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Teng Chou Ming

"Ik hou van jouw" in Flemish/Dutch.
"Nwo oij ney" in Chinese or Mandarin... this is how you pronounce it, so what you had on your pict is probably how you write it.

"O" - in Fish.

"X" - in Illiteracy (not to be mistaken for a legal signature).

Hi,

Your referenced site gives "Russian - Ya tebya liubliu".

By chance I have met quite a few Russians over the years. Their alphabet is, of course cyrillic, but if a Russian speaks the phrase "I love you" it comes out as "Ya lyublyu tibya". Even allowing for the change into Roman characters one can see that their word order is not the same as your source.

Peace

Do not fear your enemies.  The worse they can do is kill you.  Do not fear friends.  At worst, they may betray you.
Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent.
