Love is such a magical and refreshing feeling. No wonder it makes us smile so broadly. Although it makes us do crazy things, it still remains the purest of feelings. Under its spell, we become brave enough to show our true selves and crazy enough to scream, at the top of our lungs, in the middle of Times Square: I LOVE YOU! But sometimes we feel that even that wouldn’t be enough, so we look for new ways to say “I love you”. And when it comes to romance,French – being the language of love – is the first thing that pops into our minds. It has a peerless romantic elegance that is simply contagious. “I love you” in French –Je t’aime – sounds like it could melt any heart!

Is this still not enough? Here’s how saying “I love you” different languages can be fun:

How to say I love you – a quick guide for “I love you”s in 30 most common languages

Modern society makes us feel so much and express so little! We’ve become shallow. Just like the song says, many of us aren’t probably happy in this modern world. We bury ourselves every day under mountains of unexpressed feelings often because of social media. We’re afraid to show our inner, deeper selves. We put on masks. We don’t dare to be romantic anymore. And still, our loved ones are the ones that get to discover more of ourselves. More than just a pretty face and a cool Instagram account. That’s because they drown us in authentic, real love. They see the best in us and stick around even the hardest times. And they deserve the same back. Always. Not just on Valentine’s Day. But every single day! Wine for him, flowers for her, little gifts for the both of them. Today. This is a reminder.

Now back to expressing your love in different languages. If you feel like the video above wasn’t enough for you, here’s how to write “I love you” in different languages – with transliterations where it’s needed. Keep in mind that these aren’t always the most commonly used in their home country. They are, instead, the most complete and grammatically correct – which is what you really need in the beginning.

P.S.: If you are getting too excited to find out how do you say I love you in Spanish , here’s the quick answer:te amo!
While there’s a second form –te quiero – that is used more for family and friends, “te amo” is more romantic and has a deeper meaning of love. So if you want to say that to your lover, you should definitely use “te amo”.

The first step is to prepare 365 pieces of paper of different colors and sizes and write “I love you” in different languages on the first 32 of them. Go wildly romantic with the rest of them: you could write love quotes for him or love quotes for her, poems or songs that you both like. Next step? Decorate the jar with tiny lights, pieces of lace or stickers.

When it’s ready, tell your lover to read one piece of paper every day. Even when you are not around. That’s how they’ll smile and know that your heart always belongs to them.

A love poem for your loved one

Look no further if you need a love poem or a love song for your jar. It doesn’t necessarily need to be original. It just has to come from the heart. Here’sa love song for your love jar:

Verse 1:
My heart beats fast
Whenever you’re near, I’m under your spell
You light up my world, like a firework
I love you, it’s plain to see, you’re my everything
Chorus:
I love you, with every breath I take
I’ll love you, for all the choices I make
I love you, with every step I take
I’ll love you, for all the chances I take
Verse 2:
With you, everything feels right
With you, everything falls into place
With you, I can reach new heights
With you, nothing can replace
Chorus:
I love you, with every breath I take
I’ll love you, for all the choices I make
I love you, with every step I take
I’ll love you, for all the chances I take

If, on the other hand, you’d rather choose a poem, here’s a very cute idea:

Love is a feeling that cannot be tamed,
A fire that burns, a love that’s claimed.
With you, my heart skips a beat,
With you, my life is complete.

A love like ours is worth the fight,
With you, everything feels just right.
In your arms, I am safe and warm,
With you, forever, I’ll be adorned.

With every moment, every day,
I feel my love for you grow in every single way.
You are my everything, my one true love,
Forever and always, to you, I’ll be true.

Love is a journey, let’s take the ride,
Together, forever, side by side.
With you, my love will never end,
With you, my heart will forever blend.
