They say French is the language of love; so why not try saying what you feel in this romantic language? Here’s some help for you.
If you are someone who loves impressing their partner in new and creative ways, then you should learn to say ‘I Love You’ in different languages. It not only makes you enjoy the effort of learning a new language but also amuses your lover to hear you express your love for them differently. What could be better than looking into the eyes of your lover, holding them close to you, and whispering ‘I love you’ in the very language of love?
How to Say I Love You in French
You can say I love you in French as je t’aime. Pronounce j in ‘je’ as zh; just like the ‘g’ in mirage. The e is pronounced oo as in ‘food’. The word t’aime is pronounced as a rhyme to them. You can make it even more interesting by adding some other romantic French phrases like mon bébé (my baby) or mon loup (my wolf), mon ange (my angel) or mon amour (my love).
Work out the timing perfectly. Then, hold the hands of your lover, bring them closer to you, and look into their eyes. With a sincere and intimate tone, say their name, followed by je t’aime.
To respond to ‘I Love You’ in French, all you need to say is moi aussi, je t’aime. The word moi is pronounced ‘mwa’ and aussi just as you would say ‘oh, see’.
If you want to go a step further and say ‘I love you with all my heart’ in French, say je t’aime de tout mon coeur, pronounced ‘Zhe tem duh too maw kuhr’.
