How to say ‘I love you’ in Hungarian

The word you are looking for if you want to say I love you in Hungarian is_Szeretlek_ .

While English uses three different words – I love you –, Hungarian makes use of suffixes and gets it done in one word. Thus, the_-lek_ at the end accounts for “you.”

Besides, unlike other languages, Hungarian is a non-gendered language. This means you can say_Szeretlek_ to someone of either sex.

Supposing you want to find out if your feelings are reciprocated, you can ask_Te szeretsz engem?_ which means “Do you love me?”.

Last but not least, the word for “love” in Hungarian is_szeretet_ .
