How to say "I love you"

[Duo]

hoaa, well i'd never say that to any regular person, just tryin to liven up the thread a lil

 

[alexriversan]

"i love you"
list of north american states
backside orientated piece of communication

You make me blush like a red hot tomato .... :car:
And you cheated on the first one; English don't count here ! XD

sorry for disapproving.

the poster tries to explain "i love you" is valid in other languages, hence the reundant mentioning. (this is an assumption)

and the poster tells us "parts of florida", transfering the information some parts of florida would not be that way.

probably this is a joke about florida. if you (lexico) have understood it this way: i should have given you approval.

only because of personal feelings for tomato plants i have given you negative reputation. everytime tomato is read red color is seen.

the http://www.spam.com piece of information fails to include several mesoamerican languages.

it fails to get the point the concepts of "love","friendship","sexual intercourse" are very different.

just to give an example, "friend" in mesoamerican means "one who gives pleasure" if translated literally.

means such lists add to global confusion and stupidity.

why not use a dictionary, look up the word "love" in english, before doing ANY communication. this is an advice to english speaking people

cheers and do not take my insane* sketch too serious.

if you can joke, i can too. the list should also include customs like to sacrifice visitors which have broken the protocol or for no reason at all.

*"a completely MAD** scheme to build a bridge between two mountains"

**1: temporarily or apparently deranged by violent sensations, emotions, or ideas: mad with jealousy.

**2: feeling or showing strong liking or enthusiasm: mad about sports.

Great stuff, Alex !

No sorry, me just dummy, failed to see that, Alex ! You are a literary genius in the great Gaelic tradition of Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, Samuel Bekett, and YB Yeats who sang,

"I had no speech but symbol
of the pagan speech of Old Ireland
I made amid the dreams of youth"

English would have been a poorer man without the country tunes hummed by the lasses of Galaway, from far beyond the untamed Pale. You've come to enrich the English tongue on this side of the land mass. I welcome you again, and thank you for your wonderful works of art. :wave:

:wave:

ya cool i have a book with ancient irish fairytales.
but i am NOT very literate, especially i am not in poems.

hope the idea of "a bridge between two mountains" can entertain a few.

:souka: what does "sou ka" mean: i am here to learn JP language?

and i am sorry, i do not understand long poetry, of yeats or other irish writers. i am more about jk rowling (british author)

"the country hymes hummed by the lasses of galway" -> kakemono glorified, bestowed and riddled all day by traditional fisherman of hokkaido. this CAN arise sympathy. but not necessarily...

we have pepsi, nike, also guiness and traditional irish dance, a lot of pubs but i have never been to a pub... it means "public house" originally, sometimes i walk by an open door and can hear various voices from the inside... i do not drink often, only beer/cider.

sou ka, something like "really", or "I understand" or "is that right?"; depends on context of course. Hard to translate without situational consideration.

predjudgement is done

thank you for answering my question.
you are right, prejudgement is done each day.
i have prejudiced people in the past, especially polish people.
that poland would be responsible for fake NIKE products.
or polish people are selling such articles.

now it has become an european country.
as far as i know, nike has generously bought up many of such factories.

the message shall communicate:
i have worked on my feelings about special population groups.

PS Poland has been a European country for a long time.

Useful name calling for picking a fight ?

Thanks for the list in Japanese, Pox. =)

Infroseek gives me '变??样?q?[' for Chinese, but nothing for English or Korean.

But some of those translations are considered a bit rude, I think. kashii:

Comment:
Gujarati is Indian language spoken in state Gujarat(from where I am) of India. I speak Gujarati. Gujarat state has its border with Pakistan and there are Gujarati people in Pakistan but most Gujarati people are located in Gujarat.

Additional Way to say 'I love you' in Gujarati: Hu tane prem karu chhoon. ( 'prem' = 'pyaar' = love)
